The Good News

Recognizing that our community’s preferences in how they receive content is evolving, and to be better stewards of the Diocese of Oakland’s resources and mission, we provide a coordinated, proactive communication plan for the Diocese of Oakland in promoting the mission of the diocese, “To know Christ better and to make Him better known,” and the three pillars of Bishop Barber’s vision for the diocese:
