Unbound was founded by lay Catholics and is grounded in Catholic social teaching to put the needs of the vulnerable first. Their program bridges cultural and economic divides, working side by side with people of diverse faith traditions in Latin America, Africa and Asia.

Please know ALL women registered at Saint Andrew Parish are automatically enrolled in our Women of Saint Andrew Organization. This amazing group has a stellar reputation of faithful service in many ministries and projects that come up each calendar year for our Parish. Notices go out for needs for women to join in particular joint efforts and the Friars so appreciate our women (18 years old and up) helping even if it is for only one event or ministry a year. Please see Website, Parish Bulletin and Chair Announcements at Mass for THE CALL to help serve in the events of the moment. Thank you all for volunteering to be members by your sheer, joyful and faithful presence. Some can do a little; others, a lot. You know what you can do according to your family and work responsibilities. But please do what ever you can to swell our numbers along with the increased demands of this growing, thriving Parish of Saint Andrew Women. Sincerely, Fr. Jim Gigliotti, T.O.R., Pastor

Many THANKS to Samir and Eileen Tarsha for their generous gift. Our new statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus was paid for by them. I suggest an investigation into the “15 Promises made by the Sacred Heart for those who venerate Jesus under the Title the Sacred Heart.” Wonderful, generous and kind people in our Parish. THANK YOU all for your faithfulness to Christ here in our Roman Catholic Creed, Teachings and Beliefs. You make the Friars so joyful to be ministering here. You inspire us! Blessings and Gratitude, Fr. Jim Gigliotti, T.O.R. and the Friars

AFRICA/BURKINA FASO - Another attack against Catholics: 4 faithful killed at the end of a procession; statue of the Virgin destroyed

Any parishioner over 18 who has not received the Sacrament of Confirmation is invited to be confirmed on Pentecost Sunday here at Saint Andrew.

A note to our Friars and All who served on Good Friday:

I'd like to say first of all Thank you so much for allowing Saint Andrew Parish to hold The Veneration and display of Holy Relics on Good Friday. The amount of care, genuine concern, and hospitality that was shown by all who helped was absolutely amazing.[While I do not remember everyone by name] but what an impression and impact this has made on the Catholic community as a whole was definitely over and above. As a member of the Knights of Columbus I must say that the attention that was given to this event by the 4th Degree Knights and All Knights would and should make any Knight proud of his Brothers. I've known Grand Knight Mike Kennedy for quite some time and we had occasion to speak briefly at several events thru the Knights but never really had the opportunity to really get to know him. What an honor it was to work side by side with him as well as his Deputy Grand Knight. What a great group of brothers you have at St.Andrews Council. It shows not just in leadership but in every member that came out and responded to this calling. Also the kindness and huge level of attention that was given to this event by your staff was impeccable. An extra special Thank You to Paul and Lalo is a must. Never once was there a time that our every need was not met from the time we started planning until the time we left on Saturday morning at 2:00am. I must also add a special thanks to our police protection that served to protect and serve those who attended. Last a very special thank you to all those who attended and waited patiently for their chance to get up close and take time to venerate the Passion Relics and Relics of Saints.
Thanks be to God for all who helped and all who attended.

Viva Cristo Rey,

Always Your Brother in Christ

Please join our Catholic community from all over the Diocese of Fort Worth for the showings of this powerful movie based on the life of Abby Johnson, a former Planned Parenthood Director, who followed her faith with fierce determination to help women in need. The film is rated R due to the violence of abortion. Most showings are fully sponsored and free to attend. We have posted the Fort Worth area available showings on our website under Events. This is an event you do not want to miss!

Each year the Diocese of Fort Worth takes up a special collection on Good Shepherd Sunday to support the education and formation of our Diocesan seminarians.

Should parents have the right to exercise conscientious objection in order to prevent their children from being inoculated with vaccines produced from aborted fetal cell lines? And what does science tell us about these vaccines?
