Lumen = "The Light"
Why the name change from The Catholic Globe?
​The name Lumen is the Latin translation for "the light," and Latin is the official language of the Church.
This better represents who we are and what we do - bring LIGHT and ENLIGHTEN the faithful of the diocese. 

We are so excited about this new chapter for diocesan communications and media with our comprehensive newspaper, The Lumen, LumeNotes, Notas Lumen and our social media sites.
