Dear brother Priests, Deacons, Diocesan Seminarians, Chancery and Parish Staff,
CSDO Presidents and Principals and Lay Faithful of the Diocese of Oakland:
This announcement is being forwarded on behalf of our communications team,
led by Helen Osman and Rick Medeiros. Thank you for your careful consideration of this important effort.

Please read the details of the plan
(__).
In general, there are three major changes:
(1) A new bi-weekly digital newsletter, OAKCatholic, is being sent to parishion-
ers who have provided us with their email addresses;
(2) The Catholic Voice magazine becomes a quarterly print journal;
(3) www.OakDiocese.org website receives a refresh;
(4) The Weekly continues as an important communication resources for our parish
leadership.
This new strategy will provide more information and news, helping people stay
engaged in their faith and making it more accessible to seekers, while allowing the
diocese to be a better steward of resources, including in financial savings and lessening our environmental impact.
Please contact Helen Osman at hosman@oakdiocese.org if you have questions, or refer to the FAQs on our website.
With the assurance of my continued prayers for a Blessed Jubilee Year of Hope for our entire diocesan family. I am ..
