Purpose of the Diocesan Staff

The purpose of the Diocesan Staff is to serve the Bishop and to serve and encourage the congregations, institutions, organizations and the people of the Diocese of Quincy in their mission and ministry of proclaiming and living the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In all things modeling commitment to Jesus as Lord and to each other as a team, the Diocesan Staff is also called to leadership in articulating and enabling a vision of diocesan mission and ministry, which, in Christ, builds up the church and evangelizes the unchurched.
