Pray Daily with Bishop Walsh
Begin your day in prayer with Bishop Walsh. Each day, the bishop will share a daily prayer and petition, providing an opportunity to reflect before starting your daily routine.

Taken directly from the Liturgy of Hours, the morning prayer intercessions help us in sanctifying the day with prayer, ultimately bringing us closer to God and closer to the universal Church.

Visit our Facebook page facebook.com/diocesegaylord or our YouTube channel youtube.com/@DioceseofGaylordMI to join in the daily Prayers & Intentions.

YOU’RE INVITED! Join your fellow parishioners and delegations from parishes in the Diocese of Gaylord as we gather to learn about our Church’s rich Catholic Social Teaching and how to put it into action. We will also discuss how we, in our parishes, can use Catholic Social Teaching to improve our communities and strengthen our parishes at the same time.

St. Mary Cathedral, Gaylord MI

Special guest, Fr. David Buersmeyer of the Archdiocese of Detroit, will present the principles of Catholic Social Teaching.
