News from the Chancery is published each week to share information and upcoming events with the people of the Diocese of Victoria.
We have three items to share with you today:
1) All are invited to join “A Gift of Silent Reflection,” an online Diocesan Year-End Examen on Saturday, December 13, from 10:30–11:30 am. This 500-year-old Ignatian prayer helps us grow in gratitude and awareness of God’s presence in our daily lives. The reflection will be led by Joelle Dressler and Mary Kearsey.

3) December 8, 2025, marks the 18th anniversary of the Diocese of Victoria Health Care Committee. Its members, bringing diverse professional backgrounds and representing regions across the Diocese, advise Bishop Gary Gordon on medical and ethical matters, and offer experience, support, and training in the ministry of care, accompanying the sick, the elderly, the lonely, and the dying with the compassionate presence of Jesus Christ. In doing so, they help foster and strengthen pastoral care among pastors, parishes, and all people in the Diocese of Victoria.
