ECHOING THE CALL
We are excited to launch our new Youngstown Vocations website and introduce our new vocations vodcast, "Echoing the Call." Both are designed to provide engaging resources, inspiring stories, and practical tools for those discerning their vocations.
We invite parishes, schools, and organizations throughout the diocese to partner with us by spreading the word about these new initiatives. Together, we can foster a culture of vocations, encourage those whom God is calling, and support the Church's mission of inviting more people to listen for and respond to His call.

ABOUT THE DIOCESE AND OUR MISSION
We are people of God in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Youngstown. Blessed with a rich variety of backgrounds and talents, we are a living reflection of the Universal Church.
Through our baptism, we continue Christ’s mission to further the kingdom of God through the human family.
We share our living faith by proclaiming the Gospel in word and example. Together we celebrate Christ’s presence in worship and sacraments.
In a spirit of justice, mercy and love, we dedicate ourselves not only to minister to the people in the six counties of northeastern Ohio but also to minister to the world community.
MEET BISHOP DAVID BONNAR
The Most Rev. Bishop David J. Bonnar is the Sixth Bishop of the Diocese of Youngstown. His episcopal motto is “That All May Be One.” As shepherd of our diocesan Church, his recent pastoral letter on the Sacred Heart encourages all to embrace the “wonderful opportunities that come when we behold both the individual and collective power of the heart bonded with the heart of Christ.”
The Catholic Echo is the official media group of the Diocese of Youngstown.
