MAKING A REPORT OF SEXUAL MISCONDUCT: A report of sexual misconduct may be initiated at the Diocese of Kalamazoo’s Sexual Misconduct and Reporting Line: 877-802-0115. A caller will be requested to provide his or her name and telephone number. All calls regarding sexual misconduct will be returned usually within one hour. This toll-free number has been established as a part of the Diocese’s efforts to protect children, young people and other vulnerable people in our schools, parishes and ministries. This line is for reporting suspected sexual misconduct or child abuse with Diocesan institutions and ministries only. Other concerns about Diocesan schools, parishes and ministries should be reported to the appropriate Diocesan school or parish.

Phone Live Streaming service now available!
On Sunday, July 12, the radio broadcast of the 9:00 Sunday Mass will end, but we will continue to live stream the Mass online. For people who may not have easy access to the internet, we are offering a new feature where you can dial a toll free number and listen to the live audio of the Mass. If you like, you can receive a call whenever we go live by following the prompts when you call in. And if you miss the stream, you can still listen to a recording anytime at the same number until the next time the parish goes live. The number is: 888-431-4633.
Because of the easy availability of the stream over the phone, we will discontinue Zoom broadcasts of the weekend Masses at St. Bernard’s beginning July 18. We will still offer the limited radio broadcast over FM 100.5 to those who are in the parking lot during Mass.
We hope that these changes will continue to provide good spiritual nourishment for everyone.
