Diocese of Charleston

Surely, he has risen! Bishop Jacques Fabre-Jeune, CS, and the Diocese of Charleston wish you and your families a blessed Easter. May we spread the love of Christ Jesus and show his compassionate forgiveness just as as our Risen Lord has taught us. youtube.com/watch?v=YcV2yi…

We reflect and pray as we await the resurrection of our Lord. In the quiet of Holy Saturday, we remember his sacrifice and trust that the darkness will give way to his glorious light. #holysaturday #reflect #pray #await

On this Good Friday, we pause in humble gratitude for the Lord’s sacrifice. In his suffering and death, Christ came to free us from sin and to lead our hearts into true freedom in him. #goodfriday #thecrucifixion #thepassionofchrist #sacrifice #catholic

We prepare our hearts for the greatest sacrifice ever made for mankind. Yet remember: Christ’s suffering was not the end, but the door to resurrection, mercy and new life. #passion #christ #sacrifice #goodfriday #catholic

It is at the Last Supper that we receive the greatest gift — the body and blood of Christ. From that moment forward, we break bread with Jesus every time we participate in the holy Mass. He is truly present with us, loving us and giving himself for us! #holythursday #lastsupper

Every year many enter the Catholic Church at Easter. We hold these faithful in our prayers, especially those who will be new members of our diocese — we're expecting nearly 1,750 in S.C. this year! #OCIA #christianinitiation #catholicchurch #easter #catechism

During this time of Lent, we walk with Christ in preparation for his crucifixion and for our mourning his death. We turn away from temptation and sin through prayer, fasting and almsgiving, narrowing our focus on God and uniting our hearts to his sorrow. #Lent #Cuaresma

Once a year, during Holy Week, priests gather with their bishop to renew the promises they made on the day of their ordination. It is a meaningful celebration for every diocese! #chrism #chrismmass #sacredoil #catechism #diocese

I think I want to go to confession, but I worry that I don’t feel sorry enough. I don’t want to lie and say, “I am sorry for all my sins” if I don’t *feel* sorry. Do I have to stay away from reconciliation until I feel badly? Learn more here: themiscellany.org/ask-father-mik…

Ever wondered what exactly we're celebrating at every Mass? During this Holy Week, pause and take a moment to enter into the mystery of Jesus’ Passion and thank him for his endless mercy. #paschalmystery #sacrifice #mass #catechism #catholic

Today, Palm Sunday, we commemorate Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem where he was welcomed as the Messianic King. As we enter Holy Week may we prepare our hearts to accompany Christ through his Passion. #palmsunday #holyweek #messianic #sonofdavid #hosanna #catholicchurch

Though we come from many cultures, languages and stories, we are one Church. This month, take time to listen! Ask someone of a different age or background about their experience growing up Catholic; let their witness strengthen your walk with Christ! #viafidelis #yearofcatechesis

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month. As Catholics, we are called to protect the dignity of every child. By raising awareness, speaking up about concerns and reporting abuse, we help safeguard the most vulnerable and reflect Christ’s love. #childandyouthprotection

In his pastoral letter on Via Fidelis, Bishop Fabre describes the Catechism as “a roadmap that can form our minds and consciences with the doctrinal, sacramental, moral and spiritual teachings of the Church.” Read or listen here: themiscellany.org/catechism-gps-… #ViaFidelis #Catechism

With her humble yes, Mary welcomed the Word made flesh into the world, changing history forever. This quiet scene in Nazareth reveals God’s nearness, his respect for our free will, and how one trusting "yes" can open the door to divine grace! Say "yes" to the Lord's plan for you!
