Family Love: A Vocation and A Path to Holiness
Presenter: Bishop Daniel Miehm (Bishop of Peterborough)
Through the life of the family and the love shared by its members, children learn about themselves and the seeds of their vocation are born. Every person is called to live in their family knowing the family itself is a call to an important vocation. Parents and children find their path to holiness with the vocation of the family.
His Excellency, the Most Reverend Daniel J. Miehm, was appointed Bishop for the Diocese of Peterborough in March of 2017. Bishop Miehm has served as the Auxiliary Bishop of Hamilton since 2013 and was installed as the 13th Bishop for the Diocese of Peterborough in April.
Bishop Miehm holds a Master's of Divinity degree from St. Augustine’s Seminary and a Licentiate in Canon Law from the Angelicum University in Rome.
Bishop Miehm’s motto on his episcopal coat of arms is Fides Per Caritatem, (Faith Through Love) which is taken from Paul to the Galatians 5:6; "The only thing that counts is faith working through love." He brings tremendous gifts of faith-filled leadership, evangelization through parishes, pastoral care of the clergy, dedication to Catholic Education and a personal commitment to engaged collaboration and Gospel-inspired servant leadership.
