This weekend, Bishop Fabre celebrated the Rite of Election and Call to Continuing Conversion at St. Peter Church in Beaufort and Immaculate Conception Church in Goose Creek. He also opened the second year of Via Fidelis – Year of Catechesis at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist.

In his homilies, he focused on the good news that in our diocese, over 1,500 people will enter the Church this year, as well as an additional 3,000 youth being confirmed. With these new members who are on fire with the faith, we can make a big change in South Carolina.

Bishop Fabre affirmed that these men and women were not called by their home pastor or bishop, but by God. In this Year of Catechesis of Via Fidelis, we are each reminded that we will never stop learning. Conversion, like growth, is ongoing and must be a continued effort.
