Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad.
These words of celebration are heard through our Responsorial Psalm on Easter Sunday, and they are words of great hope in the gift Christ gave us through his death and resurrection. When I reflect on the Paschal Triduum, I often find myself deeply humbled by Christ’s great love for me, for us.
HARRISBURG, Pa. – Today, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Harrisburg (RCDH) announced that its Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization has been approved by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. With this approval, the RCDH has emerged from bankruptcy, nearly three years from when this process started.
The theme for the 2026 Diocesan Annual Campaign, Faithful Stewards, reminds us that each of us is entrusted with the sacred responsibility of caring for the gifts God has placed in our lives—our faith, our families, our parishes, and our communities.
