"Greetings.  I write with great news: after an extensive search process, we have hired Ed Largaespada to be the Chief Financial Officer for the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee.  Ed will begin this position on June 4, 2019. He is very excited about moving to the Panhandle along with his wife, Rebeca, and three little children.  I am confident that he will fit in well with us and will support all of us in our efforts to spread the Good News and build up the local church."

Pope Francis’ Motu proprio, "Vos estis lux mundi", establishes new procedures for reporting abuse and violence, ensuring that Bishops and Religious Superiors are held accountable for their actions. It includes the obligation for clerics and religious to report abuse. Every Diocese must have a system that allows the public to submit reports easily.

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) will gather for the 2019 Spring General Assembly in Baltimore, June 11-14. Public sessions of the general assembly discussions and votes will be available via livestream at: http://www.usccb.org/live
