The Bishop's Office coordinates the day-to-day business of the Diocese of Gary. The multitude of activities in part coordinated by the Bishop's Office are listed in the bishop’s calendar.
A guiding principle for the office staff is reflected in Bishop McClory’s motto “Iesum Dominum Praedicamus” (“We Proclaim Jesus as Lord”). It reminds us of the humility with which all Christians should approach their mission as disciples.
