Most Reverend Joseph E.

A lifelong shepherd devoted to the Holy Eucharist and the Blessed Virgin Mary, Bishop Strickland has consistently proclaimed the Church’s teachings on the sanctity of life, moral truth, and Eucharistic reverence. In 2025, he founded Pillars of Faith, an apostolate dedicated to strengthening Catholics in fidelity to Christ and His Church. Today, Bishop Strickland continues his apostolic mission nationally and internationally through preaching, teaching, writing, and media outreach.
