Bishop Thomas Daly

I joined Cathedral priests yesterday in hearing confessions. Very long lines! Happy to see so many people preparing for the celebration of Christmas.

Happy to have celebrated Mass of Solemn Profession for Sr. Donna Fe Josef de Jesus, O.Carm. I welcome the Carmelites to the Diocese of Spokane!

Happy to have had Mass with the Ann Arbor Dominican Sisters. I am grateful for their commitment to Catholic education.

I ask that you join me in praying for the repose of the soul of Most Reverend Patrick J McGrath. May he rest in peace. +

"I want to assure you that your shepherds, bishop and priests, are committed to keeping the seal of confession – even to the point of going to jail. The Sacrament of Penance is sacred and will remain that way in the Diocese of Spokane." - Bishop Daly inlandcatholic.com/news/sb5280-st…

A Blessed Easter Season to the faithful of eastern Washington! A special word of gratitude to all the newly initiated - welcome to our Catholic Family.

Happy to have led outdoor procession in Downtown Spokane today. Hosanna to our King!

On this Solemnity of St. Joseph, we ask for his prayers that the Church would be protected from all fear, evil, and division. St. Joseph, pray for us!

I had the joy of celebrating the Holy Mass with a number of our Catholic School students in honor of #CatholicSchoolsWeek at the Cathedral this week. Please pray for all of our students in Catholic education throughout the diocese. +

Join me in praying for the repose of the soul of Pope Benedict XVI. His towering intellect joined with his deep humility made him an outstanding shepherd. Well done, good and faithful servant!

Happy to have brought our school principals & pastors together to discuss the faith formation of our students - learned that many non Catholic students are requesting to join the Church. Praise God!

With great hope, I commissioned our local @catholicmed chapter members as we celebrated the annual White Mass at the Cathedral yesterday. May these men and women be the light of Christ in our hospitals and clinics. #WhiteMass

It was a joy to celebrate #RespectLifeMonth with all of our Catholic school students and faculty today at the Cathedral. May we all continue to uphold the sacredness of the human person from conception to natural death and support expecting families.

I had the joy of celebrating Mass with St. Charles Catholic School students today as they start a new academic year. | Happy First Day of School to many schools in our diocese.

Please join me in praying to Our Lady for Vocations in our Diocese. #Lourdes
