Priestless Parishes

Per Fresno Bishop John Steinbock: "In our nation there are seven dioceses that half of their parishes have no resident priest.” It's not a surprise to us since we spend a good deal of our time in very small, poor, or missionary dioceses. Like Dodge City, Kansas - for which Institute teams have put on a least a dozen events - or Pueblo, Colorado which spans the entire southern portion of the state and is the third poorest diocese in the country. More on this later when I have time.
