A House for Communio

Dear Friends in Christ,
Passing through the central cloister of Collegio San Norberto, our eyes are
naturally drawn to the vibrant set of eight stained-glass windows
masterfully crafted by artist Klaus Unterrainer between 2004 and 2009. At
the heart of this collection stands our principal patron, St. Norbert, flanked
by St. Augustine of Hippo and Blessed Hugh of Fosse.

Formed by a 1980 merger and home to many Black Catholics, the parish celebrated a final Mass in May after mutual discernment with the diocese.

The Diocese of Gary’s historically Black Catholic parish, Ss. Monica and Luke Catholic Church, celebrated its final Mass on May 24, Pentecost Sunday, marking the end of a century-long journey and the onset of a new era of diocesan retrenchment.

The 45-year-old chaplain is set to become the nation’s youngest Catholic prelate and the latest African-American auxiliary bishop in Washington.

Over the course of June 4-June 9, 2026 the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee bid farewell to its fourth and longest serving bishop, Most Rev. John H. Ricard, SSJ. In the spirit of Bishop Ricard’s episcopal motto, “God is Gracious,” we honor his fruitful service in the Lord’s vineyard. We place our faith in Jesus’ resurrection from the dead that we might meet him again in the New Jerusalem.
