The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Religious Liberty is asking faithful Catholics to express their opposition to new health care regulations proposed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). If enacted, these regulations would enable religious discrimination against any health care worker who conscientiously objects to performing gender transition procedures, regardless of whether that objection is a matter of religious belief or of clinical judgment. The Committee on Religious Liberty indicates that the proposed regulations may ultimately be used by the HHS to determine that Section 1557 imposes similar mandates with regard to abortion.

O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You my prayers, works, joys and sufferings of this day for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in reparation for my sins, for the intentions of all my relatives and friends, in particular for the intentions of the Holy Father. Amen.

The Most Reverend Michael F. Olson, STD, Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Fort Worth, announces that he intends to ordain Mr. David Michael Kinch to the Sacred Order of Deacon on Wednesday, August 10, 2022, at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish in Keller, Texas. The faithful of the Catholic Diocese of Fort Worth are asked to pray for this candidate. At the same time the faithful are obliged to reveal impediments to sacred orders, if they know of any, by contacting the Office of the Bishop at officeofthebishop@fwdioc.org and 817-945-9311 or the parish pastor before ordination in accord with the norms cc. 1043 and 1051.2 of the Code of Canon Law. St. Lawrence, patron saint of deacons, intercede for these men and for an increase in vocations to the diaconate in our diocese.

The National Eucharistic Revival is a three-year renewal in the source and summit of the Catholic Faith. The mission of the Revival is to engage dioceses, parishes, and families to "renew the Church by enkindling a living relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist." The vision of the Revival is "a movement of Catholics across the United States, healed, converted, formed, and unified by an encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist—and sent out in mission for the life of the world." The Revival will culminate in a National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis from July 17-21, 2024. Nearly one hundred thousand Catholics are expected to attend.

The Holy Father is to CONSECRATE Russia and the Ukraine to the Blessed Mother and Her Immaculate Heart on March 25th, the feast of the Annunciation that Mary is to be the Mother of God. The following is a form of that very CONSECRATION. As your Pastor, I ask that you seriously join the Holy Father in the spirit of support, and pray the CONSECRATION also. We, united with the Pope, ask our Lady to bring Peace to these war-torn places and end this incursion. The Catholic and Christian people of God in the Ukraine has petitioned the Pope to CONSECRATE those Countries and he has chosen to do this on the nearest Marian feast. May the Lord God hear and answer HER and our prayers of this CONSECRATION first asked for by her at Fatima, Portugal back in 1917. Pray this prayer alone or with your spouse or family or friends. But do pray from your hearts to HERS! Thank you for considering this as Acts of Faith, Hope and Love. Sincerely+ Fr. Jim Gigliotti, TOR Pastor

We have recently received a new Yamaha grand piano to replace the smaller piano in the sanctuary. This piano was a gift from the late George and Joyce Kostohryz. This instrument will be played during liturgies for years to come. Please keep George and Joyce in prayer as you hear this beautiful instrument played in praise to God.

On behalf of the whole Parish, I would like to send lots and lots and lots of THANKS to all who helped create the Advent and then Christmas Seasons beauty we all enjoyed the past few months. Thank you kindly! The Music Ministries also should be deeply thanked for those many hours of both rehearsals and then praising and giving Glory to God during our Advent and Christmas liturgies and prayer services. We Friars well know the discipline it takes to prepare choral prayers. So when we hear and see so many praying in choral form, we are moved to deep gratitude with endless admiration. The Parish at large should continue to be aware of particular communities within the larger Community who answer “the call” from the Holy Spirit to utilize certain gifts for these Holy Seasons. Creating beauty for the senses in the Sacred Space of our blessed Church reflects keenly the sense of the Holy both in and among us. We transcend to the Divine, stepping into the Mysteries of the Inspired Word and Channels of Grace we call the Sacraments. What a beautiful Parish! Here we are filled with souls struggling to keep the Light of Christ alive in a world so challenged by the world, the flesh, and the devil. Remember all registered Parish members were CONSECRATED and DEDICATED to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on the Feast of the Epiphany, January 2nd, 2022. This was the fourth year we formally prayed this Marian Consecration Prayer as a worshipping Community at all of our weekend Masses. Remember to pray the Rosary daily! I want to thank the Knights of Columbus especially for their faithful witness in LEADING the Rosary prayer prior to all of our weekend Masses. The Rosary devotion is part of being a member of the K. of C. Order/Fraternity. Mother Mary calls for this efficacious prayer form as “the Weapon” against the onslaughts of “shimmering darkness” who “goes around, like a roaring lion, seeking the ruin of souls.” We’ve our work cut out for ourselves! But in the end, our Mother says, “In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph.” Catholic folk are fed with His Body and His Blood as food for the journey. Thank you all for your faithfulness and generous stewardship to the Parish and School and SECOND SPRING efforts to keep the Catholic Faith strong with convicted Faith and sturdy Good Works. Maranatha! COME LORD JESUS! Can I hear an AMEN!
