The Religious of the Diocese (those consecrated to God by vows of poverty, chastity and obedience) renew their vows annually on or near the Solemnity of the Presentation.
This year this celebration takes on special significance in the context of the Holy Year, when we are all called to be Pilgrims of Hope.
Bishop John invites all the faithful to join him as he receives these vows and prays for the renewal of religious life in our diocese.
