A Message from Bishop Frank J. Dewane

September 30, 2022 — Thank you for your continued prayers for the Diocese of Venice, and all those affected by Hurricane Ian. Damage is still being assessed, but it is clear that the devastation in the Diocese is widespread. There are several crews already at work throughout the Diocese, and Catholic Charities is putting their local team into action. We are grateful for all those who have helped, and continue to help, during this difficult time. + Bishop Dewane
