Only the main entrance (east side) will be used for now. Please practice proper social distancing and wash your hands, or use hand sanitizer and face coverings, or masks, while in the Church.  Thank you.

Our Love Truck "Fan and Food Drive" was a huge success. Thank you as always for your generous outreach to our community in need.

We had our new church building "Reveal" last Saturday. Please go to the Building Our Future page to watch the recorded webinar and to see the design/plans for our beautiful new campus!

Garrett Bockman will be ordained to the priesthood next weekend.  He asked that his "First Mass of Thanksgiving" be celebrated at our parish. Please join us as we live stream this special Mass from our parish sanctuary on Saturday, May 30th at 4:00 p.m. (This will take the place of our usual 6pm live streamed liturgy.) 

I am inspired by your continued perseverance in prayer and generosity these past months. God Bless and we will see you soon!

Yours in Christ, Father Bradley

Mr. Paul Benjamin Viramontes of the Diocese of Dallas, and this Parish, is seeking ordination to the permanent diaconate on June 20, 2020.  Anyone knowing a reason why this man cannot or should not be promoted to the Order of Deacon is obligated to contact the Chancellor’s Office of the Diocese of Dallas by June 15, 2020.

Pope Francis has encouraged Catholics worldwide to pray the Rosary each day during the month of May.  He also suggests this prayer to conclude our recitation of the Rosary:

Mother of God and our Mother, 
pray for us to God, the Father of mercies
that this great suffering may end 
and that hope and peace may dawn anew.
Amen.

All those affected by the Coronavirus throughout the world.

Compassionate and Loving Father,

In the face of confusion and concern impart to us the calm of your presence.

In You allow us to find hope and healing.

Be with those who serve the sick and give them Your caring hands.
 
Be with those who lead and give them Your spirit of wisdom.

Be with those who have fallen ill and give them Your comforting heart.

Wrap your arms around our world and hold us in Your love.

Allow us at this time of trial to then serve as instruments of that love to all we meet.

We ask this in Your Name.   

Amen
