What a blessed and eventful week for our diocese! Bishop Fabre began the week on June 14 by celebrating Mass at a farm in Edgefield County, alongside members of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, honoring migrant farmworkers who faithfully serve our communities each season.

On June 17, the Bishop joined the Lyke Conference, an annual national gathering dedicated to reflecting on Catholic liturgical music, especially within the Black and African American Catholic tradition. He celebrated Mass at St. Anthony of Padua Church in Greenville as part of the Juneteenth celebration.

An absolute highlight of this week came on June 19, as Bishop Fabre ordained four of our seminarians to the priesthood! We celebrate in joy for our newly ordained Fathers Philippe Dubourdieu, Reyes Palomares, Paul Sizemore and Michael Tracy.

Beginning June 20, Bishop Fabre embarked on the second leg of his pastoral visit to the Beaufort Deanery. Follow along for updates and photos in the Pastoral Visits page.

Please keep our farmworkers, new priests, and all those the Bishop visited in your prayers!
