Please be advised that Bishop Parkes DOES NOT contact individuals through the private or direct messaging features on social media and Bishop Parkes DOES NOT ask individuals to donate money via the private or direct messaging features on social media.

Registration is open for all religious orders who would like to participate in Focus 11 2019 on February 12-13, 2019 at St. Lawrence, Higgins Hall, Tampa.
National Migration Week will be observed in dioceses around the country Jan. 6-12, 2019. This year’s theme, “Building Communities of Welcome,” encourages us to discover opportunities to engage with migrants as community members, neighbors, and friends. During this week, Catholics are called to participate through prayer and action to try to ease the struggles of immigrants, migrants and vulnerable populations and to reflect on the Church’s obligation to create a culture of encounter, engagement and accompaniment.
