As the Diocese of Raleigh celebrates its 100th Anniversary and commemorates a century of growing in the Body of Christ, the Centennial Ball will help to strengthen Bishop Luis Rafael Zarama's vital ministries of Catholic Charities, the Office of Education, and the Office of Vocations as we look towards the future of our vibrant diocese.

Join Scouts and Scouters from across eastern NC as we celebrate Mass and give thanks for the gift of Catholic Scouting in our diocese.
All Scouts welcome!
Celebrant: Bishop Luis Rafael Zarama
Lunch will be provided following Mass.
Though we cannot gather the entire diocese together to celebrate, we can be joined together in prayer as we all use Sunday, November 17, 2024, for Centennial Sunday in each of our parishes. On that weekend, each parish, mission, and campus ministry will be joined together in a prayer of thanksgiving for the many graces in our past and praying for Our Lord’s continued blessing upon our future. Please contact your parish to see what they will be doing!
This commemorative Mass will mark the centennial of the Diocese of Raleigh and celebrate the ideas of servant leadership and life-giving love, which have been present throughout our 100-year history. Bishop Luis Rafael Zarama will celebrate the Mass, with His Eminence Wilton Cardinal Gregory offering the homily.
