Interfaith Vigil March 26, 2026
From Bishop Knisely – Something new happened last night – and it feels like it represents something important. It’s time for the historic faiths to find their voices and push back against the distortions and the evil being done in the name of God. https://www.wpri.com/news/local-news/providence/we-need-it-right-now-rhode-islanders-gather-for-interfaith-vigil-for-peace-in-providence

Welcome from Bishop Knisely
The Diocese of Rhode Island is a gathering of more than 50 congregations across the state whose members have been called together by God to care for our neighbors, to care for one another, and to spread the good news of the Gospel.

I invite you to learn more about our churches, and I hope you will join us.
He is Risen! Happy Easter

- God will not abandon us to the darkness and to despair. Easter is our destiny.
- The Passion describes something commonplace and unique in history. It’s something that has changed the course of history. It’s still changing us. It exposes a truth we would kill rather than recognize. And that truth saved us from ourselves and still does.
- Preconceived notions and rigid interpretations can blind people to God’s work. Be open to seeing God in unexpected forms, such as mud and mess, and be surprised by God’s creative action
