Join the clergy in congratulating Br. Titus on his ordination to the Order of Deacons

All that is needed is to pray before a Nativity scene in a Franciscan church. The indulgence is available from Dec. 8, which marks the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, to Feb. 2, 2024, the feast of the Presentation in the Temple of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Conference of the Franciscan Family requested the indulgence of Pope Francis. This commemorates the 800th anniversary of the Rule of St. Francis’ approval in 1223. It also marks the 800th anniversary of the first Nativity to celebrate Christ's birth and recognize the humble conditions under which He entered this world. St. Francis created the first Nativity for the Midnight Mass in Italy, complete with live animals, in a cave near the town of Greccio.

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 [email protected] 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.

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.
