Diocese of Richmond
January 18-19, 2020
Dear Faithful of the Diocese of Richmond,
Today we begin the celebra on of the bicentennial of our local Church which
will last throughout 2020. This Mass commemorates the arrival of the first Bishop and
recognizes the Catholic presence in the Eastern Vicariate of our diocese. I am grateful to
be celebra ng this historic occasion with you.
The establishment of the Diocese of Richmond took place under difficult
circumstances. First, a schism of formal division among believers had arisen in Norfolk
over the ques on of the ownership of Church property and the authority to appoint
pastors. Second, the communi es of Catholics in Virginia were small, far flung, and
mostly poor. These were the challenges that Right Reverend Patrick Kelly faced when he
came from Ireland as the first bishop of Richmond.
Although the Norfolk Schism eventually subsided, Bishop Kelly s ll had no
income and supported himself by teaching. He returned to Ireland aFer just a year and
a half in Virginia, having never reached Richmond. The diocese, which lacked resources,
was placed under the administra on of the archbishop of Bal more for the next
nineteen years.
In this historical episode, we sense the perennial need for unity in the Church.
That unity flows from the Eucharist, since each celebra on of Mass both expresses and
strengthens the communion of the Church; that is, the bonds that unite us to God and to
one another. Communion is one theme of our diocesan bicentennial.
The readings and prayers for today’s Mass focus on the Church’s communion.
In place of the Second Sunday in Ordinary Time, I have asked that a special Mass from
the Roman Missal, for the Par cular or local Church, be celebrated throughout the
diocese. These readings and prayers will help unite us in giving thanks to God for the
presence of the Catholic Church in Virginia through the centuries.
May this Eucharis c Celebra on at the beginning of the diocesan jubilee help us
live out the mo0o of our bicentennial, which echoes the words of St. Paul: “Shine like
stars in the world, as you hold fast to the word of life.” (Philippians 2:15-16.)
Sincerely in Christ,
Most Reverend Barry C. Knestout
Bishop of Richmond

SHARING THE GOSPEL
Imagine how excited John the Bap st
must have felt aFer he bap zed Jesus.
He knew without a doubt that Jesus was
God’s Son. The very next day John told
the crowds that Jesus would take away
the sins of the world. God’s people had
eaten a Passover lamb every year to
remember how God saved them from
death in Egypt. Jesus was the Lamb of
God. He frees you from your old sins and
offers you new life with God.
PRAYER
Dear God, thank you for sending Jesus to
take away my sins.
We are now accepSng applicaSons for
the 2020-21 school year at

House will be held, in conjuncSon with

Father of lights, The radiance of your Son has guided the advance of the Gospel across the Diocese of Richmond for two centuries, strengthening our Church from the Eastern Shore to the Cumberland Gap. Grant that the nearness of your Son may dispel the darkness of our sins, so that as our love increases more and more, we may dare more than ever to fearlessly proclaim the word. Holding fast to the word of life, may we shine like stars in the world. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirt, one God for ever and ever. Amen.
