“We have embraced a clear and compelling vision, mission, and set of priorities that pull us toward the horizon of a loving, just, and free world God imagines and promises for all people.” Bishop Saenz #NTAC24 #missionpossible #roadtothehorizon

“Friends, the Mission before us is Possible because God is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine! God is in the business of reversing impossible situations in our lives, the Church, and the world and making the impossible, possible!” -Bishop Saenz
