Please join us in thanking the Lord for the election of the Right Reverend John Caronan, O.Praem., JCL. as the new abbot of @st.michaelsabbey.

We are grateful for the longstanding relationship between our diocese and the Abbey dating back to the time of Abbot Parker, and through Abbot Hayes’ leadership. The presence of the Norbertine community continues to be a great blessing to all of us in the Diocese of Orange.

May Our Lady of Guadalupe and St. Norbert intercede for our diocese and St. Michael’s Abbey.

Yours in Christ,

The Most Rev. Kevin Vann
The Most Rev. Thanh Thai Nguyen
The Most Rev. Timothy Freyer

Sacred moments from this year's Chrism Mass. 🙏

Yesterday, 200+ priests in our diocese joined together at @christcathedralca to renew their priestly promises. At this powerful Mass, @OCBishop also blessed the holy oils used throughout the year: the Oil of Catechumens (for those preparing for Baptism), the Oil of the Sick (for anointing the ill) and consecrated the Oil of Sacred Chrism (for Baptism, Confirmation, and Priest Ordination).

Let us continue to pray for our clergy who selflessly serve the people of God each day.

It was with real sadness that I learned that the monks of the Abbey of La Trappe in Normandy are considering closing down their operation. As the name suggests, this monastery is the mother house of the Trappist Order, a reform of the Cistercian movement and a particularly intense form of Benedictine life, famous for its austerity and silence. I came to know of La Trappe through Thomas Merton, a Trappist monk of the Abbey of Gethsemani in Kentucky, whom I read with great passion when I was a young man. La Trappe shaped Merton, who in turn opened so much of the spiritual life to me. Founded over nine hundred years ago, La Trappe has survived the Black Death, the Hundred Years' War, the Protestant Reformation, the French Revolution, and the world wars of the twentieth century. That this venerable monastery cannot find enough vocations to keep it alive is, in my judgment, a sign of the spiritual disaster that has befallen Europe in the last hundred years: an ideological secularism that is rotting the soul of the West. Let's redouble our prayers that the monks of La Trappe might find a way to preserve their great Abbey. It is needed especially now.

@CardinalDolan I believe we are out of practice from genuflecting because many parishes moved the tabernacle away from the center of the altar and we have been taught to bow towards the altar instead.

"I'm just flesh and bone, but more importantly, I'm a soul, and that soul is accountable to one being."

"I've had an unbelievably blessed life... So praise God. I've been all across the world. I've met with world leaders."

"I've flown Air Force One, got to know a president. I have an amazing family, the podcast Turning Point USA... And so you experienced that, and you're like, 'What actually matters?'"

"What matters is your relationship with the divine, your relationship with your family, your kids, and maybe a close collection of friends, and your relationship with the truth."

So much wisdom and taken way too soon. Charlie Kirk will never be forgotten.
