“The Church needs to be concerned for, and present in,
the world of communication, in order to dialogue with
people today and to help them encounter Christ.”
-Pope Francis

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Welcome to the newly redesigned Diocese of Stockton website where parishioners and visitors alike are all welcome. We invite you to learn and engage with our Catholic Community by exploring the many engaging topics, resources and events available online at www.StocktonDiocese.org.
As your Bishop it is important for me to shepherd our community to stay involved in the life of the Church. Our newly redesigned website provides opportunities for evangelization through digital platforms to tell our collective story, share our testament and the Gospel with many. Visitors can also learn about the positive work being accomplished by our diocesan and parish ministries in our communities. As missionary disciples of Christ, His blessing is realized when we, “As One”, support the works of our Church through our service and engagement.
We want you to stay connected with us, so we created a mobile-friendly website with integrated social media and updated features including Weekly News, Calendar of Events, and my monthly reflections. We invite you to share the new website with your family and friends as we seek to optimize our outreach to individuals and families, to learn more about Christ and actively participate in our Catholic Faith Community.
I invite you to visit our website frequently and sign up for regular updates. I hope you make www.StocktonDiocese.org your go-to source for diocesan information, tools and resources.
In the Peace of Christ,
Most Reverend Myron J. Cotta
Roman Catholic Bishop of Stockton
