Bishop Steven Lopes

Bishop Lopes chose the Latin phrase, “Magna Opera Domini,” or in English, “Great are the works of the Lord” for his personal motto. By these words, our bishop expresses his awe of God’s grace in drawing His people to the fullness of Eucharistic communion.  
     Ever committed to serving the people of the Ordinariate, Bishop Lopes’ mission is dedicated to inviting new disciples into a life-giving relationship with Christ; nurturing reverence and beauty in liturgy, so that the Ordinariate’s tradition of worship deepens the faith and authentic discipleship of all the faithful; modelling ecumenism, fostering the unity of the Church that our Lord prayed for (John 17:21); and serving in evangelical charity by caring for those in need.

     As a bishop, he is a full member of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
