THE CHURCH
Witnesses of the Gospel of Christ in the World We Live
We exist to evangelize. Guided by his episcopal motto, “Diligere sicut dilexit Christus” (To love as Christ loved), the Bishop of Orlu calls the Diocese to a life of faithful discipleship, pastoral charity, and renewed evangelization. In this spirit, the Catholic Diocese of Orlu continues to proclaim the Gospel, celebrate the sacraments, promote Catholic education, and form communities where every person may encounter the love of Christ and share that love with others.
