Pastoral Letter on Marriage, Year of Faith

Dear Fathers:

I would like to give you advance notice that on Sunday, October 7, 2012 – as well as the Saturday evening Vigil Masses of October 6, 2012 – I will have a pastoral letter tied to the Sunday readings that I would like to be read in every parish in the Diocese of Yakima.  I would like to give you advance notice now so that you can clear your parish calendars of any other items that day.  In advance I appreciate your cooperation.  

Bishop Tyson
