Administration

Mission

We, the Christian faithful of the Catholic Diocese of Richmond, led by our Bishop
and in union with the universal Church, are listeners, learners, teachers and Disciples of Christ.
We embrace our diversity and its expression in faith.
We share a vision of a diocese where love grows, life triumphs and justice and peace prevail.
We participate in God’s work to renew our Church and the world,
through Word, Worship, Community and Service.
