CONNECT
There’s a ton of exciting stuff going on in the Diocese of Washington these days. To make it easy for you to access the information you need, when you need it, diocesan staff offers a variety of ways to stay connected.
Here you can sign up for our e-newsletters and follow us on social media. You can also get up to speed on our latest news or explore upcoming events, offerings and services going on around the diocese.
And because connection isn’t only about linking people to information, but connecting people to people, you can access the diocesan staff directory from here, too.
E-NEWSLETTERS
The diocese has four unique newsletters. You can sign up for all of them or just the ones that best fit your interests.

Every other week, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde offers her reflections on spiritual growth, social justice, and Jesus’ Way of Love.
The School for Christian Faith and Leadership e-Newsletter
Once a month, the School for Christian Faith and Leadership publishes a newsletter with information about upcoming offerings.
