Welcome to the Diocese of
Lansing, Bishop Earl Boyea!
Here is a selection of welcome messages from the readers
of FAITH Magazine:
I’m very excited for our neighbors in the Diocese
of Lansing. They have been incredibly blessed by the leadership
of Bishop (Carl F.) Mengeling for the past 12 years and
will certainly find a great blessing in the guidance of
Bishop Boyea. Bishop Boyea is very well educated and has
a wide range of experience in service to the church. He
is an excellent preacher and has a very generous heart.
He is a real pastor. In addition, I pray that Bishop Mengeling
will find abundant blessings of good health and happiness
in his future.

Dear Bishop Boyea: I don’t believe you know me personally,
but I feel I know you and I’m sure we have been
at the same event some time over the past years.
I am the sister of the late Bishop Kevin M. Britt and
I reside in the Diocese of Gaylord. I heard of your appointment
as Bishop of the Lansing Diocese and wish to extend my
best wishes to you in your new assignment. My brother
spoke highly of you and I’m sure he’s up in
heaven praising the choice the Detroit Archdiocese and
the pope have made in their choice for the Lansing Diocese.
I’ll keep you in my prayers!
