A Note from Bishop Kihneman:

The bishops of the Province of Mobile, together with our Presbyteral Councils, have declared this year to be The Year of the Eucharist and the Parish in all our dioceses.  I am asking all the faithful, our parishes, schools and ministries to observe 2021 as The Year of the Eucharist and the Parish.
