Thank you for visiting the Diocese of Gary website.  I hope it will serve you as a valuable resource for information about our parishes, institutions, and programs.  For news of recent events in the parishes and institutions of the Diocese of Gary, I invite you to refer to the Northwest Indiana Catholic website.

As Catholics, the center of our life is the Mass.  Jesus gave us the Mass as a sacrament of love, a sign of unity, a bond of charity, and the means for you and me to join ourselves with Himself as He offers us with Himself to the Father.  From this page you can reach a DVD about the Mass, the greatest gift of God to the human family.  I highly recommend that you click to the DVD.

If you live in or near Northwest Indiana, I invite you to become actively engaged in one of our parishes.  The parish is where you can receive spiritual nourishment, education, formation, and the support you need to exercise the mission of Jesus in your family, neighborhood, school, and workplace.

My prayer is that your full, active, and conscious participation in Holy Mass and your active engagement in your parish will deepen your love for the Lord Jesus and strengthen you to bring His hope and peace to your family, friends, and beyond.

Sincerely yours in the Lord Jesus,

Most Reverend Dale J. Melczek
Bishop of Gary
