Discover what's happening in your faith community!
After receiving many requests to change the Saturday evening Mass time from 5:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., Father and Parish Council have agreed that we are going to
give it a try!
Beginning Saturday, October 17, and every Saturday thereafter, we will celebrate
Holy Mass at 4:00 p.m.
We hope this change will bring our 4:00 p.m. parishioners back to our church. We also hope that, especially during the winter months, the earlier Mass time will allow those of us who have difficulty seeing in the dark to get home earlier and safely.
We sincerely hope this change will be a positive one and that most of our parish family will be pleased with the new time. As we all know, we cannot please everyone, and there may be some who do not agree with the change. However, we are willing to give it a try and see how it works for our parish.
Again, we hope everyone will be happy with the new Saturday evening Mass time, and we look forward to seeing a packed church on Saturday evenings and Sunday mornings!
Thank you all for your understanding, support, and continued dedication to our parish!

Holy Mass.
We sincerely encourage all parents to encourage their children to take part in this special ministry and to prayerfully consider becoming an Altar Server.

A Time of Renewal and Communion
We invite you to join parishes throughout our Deanery for a special day of prayer, fellowship, and renewal. Deanery Leadership Day is an opportunity to be strengthened in your call to serve God’s people, discover new paths for ministry, and rejoice in the unity of our wider Church. Together, we will renew our shared mission of proclaiming the Gospel with faith and hope. This gathering is especially encouraged for those who currently lead a ministry, serve in a parish role, or are simply interested in learning more about the different ministries within our Church. You do not need to currently be a ministry leader to participate! At this time, Father Damian, Laurie Lipscomb and Gerri Garza are signed up, and we are hoping to have at least four more parishioners join us. This could be a wonderful opportunity for anyone who feels called to grow in their faith, explore ways to serve, or simply learn more about how they can become more involved in the life of our parish. If you are interested or would like to learn more, please contact Laurie in the church office. We hope you will prayerfully consider taking advantage of this meaningful opportunity for fellowship, encouragement, and spiritual renewal!

The Archdiocese Annual Mass Attendance Count during the month of October will look just a little different this year. In addition to just counting attendees at all weekend masses the archdiocese is also requesting that we give them a more detailed count. This more detailed count greatly assists the archdiocese in overseeing Mass schedules, assigning clergy, monitoring long-term attendance trends, allocating financial resources responsibly and serving the faithful more effectively.
Also, in the second quarter of next year, the Holy Father has summoned the bishops of the United States to the Vatican for their Ad Limina visit. In preparation for this visit to the Holy See, a quinquennial report must be compiled and presented by each diocese. For this report, the Holy See is requesting more detailed information from each parish this year. The Ushers and Volunteers will need to record the following for each weekend Mass.
By Gender:
Males
Females
By Age
Children (up to 12years old)
Teenagers (ages 13-19)
Adults (20 years and above)
Counting responsibility:
Ushers will count everyone entering through the front doors.
Two designated persons will monitor the side entrances and record those attendees.
The names of those assigned to the side entrances will be published in the bulletin as the October count approaches.
Teen clothing & shoes, jeans, zip up hoodies, long sleeve tees & flats all sizes.
Archbishop Gustavo has invited us to join him in being Courageous in Christ by supporting the 2026 Archbishop’s Appeal for Ministries. Our parish goal is $6,606 and we have reached 44% of our goal. This appeal strengthens the mission of the Church throughout the entire archdiocese—feeding the hungry, comforting the sick and imprisoned, forming our young people in faith, and preparing future priests, deacons, and lay leaders, and more.
Prayerfully consider supporting this important effort. Your gift, no matter the size, makes Christ’s love visible in powerful ways. The Archbishop’s Appeal for Ministries provides a wonderful opportunity for our parish to be united with our archdiocese.
