Bishop's letter
From the Bishop
Dear Friends in Christ,

I hope this finds you happy and healthy this summer season as we begin to celebrate, nationwide, the “parish year” of the National Eucharistic Revival! I hope you were able to join us for one of the eucharistic events that took place throughout the diocese in the last six months and are helping in your own parish to make the “parish year” a success, as together we deepen our understanding of, love for, and living out of the Holy Eucharist.
It really is a delight to share this edition of Graceful Living with you where we feature the joyful witness of Sr. Mary Bethany and the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist. We also meet Fr. Jeremy Miller who enjoys being the pastor of Corpus Christi University Parish where his tennis background helps him integrate into campus life.
Earlier this year I thoroughly enjoyed touring and meeting the people behind Bryan, Ohio’s own Spangler Candy Company. Read about this family company and how their ties to their employees and community have created a successful company for 100 years! We have in this edition a great story about Nate Stant, one of only ten 2023 recipients of the National Catholic Educational Association’s Teach. Lead. Proclaim Awards which recognize outstanding Catholic school educators and leaders throughout the country.
Permit me also to introduce you to Holy Family Radio in Glandorf and Mary Ann Dietering who, along with her late husband Tom, started the station that now reaches 250,000 people throughout Northwest Ohio. What a gift Catholic Radio is to our diocese!
Many of the articles you will read here come from your own suggestions and ideas, so please continue to support the magazine by “passing it on” to your friends and letting us know of any good ideas you have for future articles that will inspire and enrich the faith of those who enjoy Graceful Living.
Be sure of a remembrance in my prayers, even as I depend on your good prayers. With every good wish, I remain
Sincerely yours in Christ Jesus,
Most Reverend Daniel E. Thomas, Bishop of Toledo
