FAITH MORE PRECIOUS THAN GOLD 1 PETER 1:7
A message from the Most Rev. Bishop Peter J. Jugis
“I declare and proclaim that throughout the diocese, a special anniversary year is to be celebrated from January 12, 2022, the 50th Anniversary of the Diocese of Charlotte, through January 12, 2023. During this year, which in recognition of our golden anniversary will be themed “Faith More Precious Than Gold,” (1 Peter 1:7), we will celebrate in the present with joy and devotion; we will have the opportunity to recall our past and celebrate our diocese’s history; and we will resolve to strengthen our diocesan family and look for even greater ways to glorify God.”
