And best wishes to you, too! Yes, the Archbishop’s newsletter is different, though there is some overlap with content. The Diocesan newsletter comes out monthly & the Archbishop’s quarterly. I did check the monthly list (there is no list for the Archbishop’s) & it says you unsubscribed in October.
Alex, we issue one newsletter every month (the exception was January 26). If you are subscribed, you will receive a newsletter. I can see those who have subscribed and unsubscribed. The newsletter archive page is now up-to-date. Thanks for getting in touch.

O God, who through your blessed Apostles Simon and Jude
have brought us to know your Name,
grant that through their intercession
the Church may constantly grow by the increase of the peoples who believe in you.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever.
O God, who are rich in mercy and who willed that the blessed John Paul II
should preside as Pope over your universal Church,
grant, we pray, that instructed by his teaching, we may open our hearts
to the saving grace of Christ, the sole Redeemer of mankind.

Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,
All things are passing away:
God never changes.
Patience obtains all things
Whoever has God lacks nothing;
God alone suffices.
