The Roman Catholic

Enrollment is now open for the 2022-23 school year at Angelo Catholic School, with an open house scheduled for Sunday, June 5.

Along with all the bishops in the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), I invite people in the Diocese of San Angelo to join Catholics around the country in fasting and praying the Rosary on Friday, May 13, the Memorial of Our Lady of Fatima.

On World Earth Day, which we celebrate annually on April 22rd, “Mother Earth” is crying out for help to all of her “children,” all inhabitants of the planet, to urgently care for her and repair the damage that is being done to the earth, which Pope Francis calls “Our Common Home — Our mother is crying out to us because of the harm we have inflicted on her by our irresponsible use and abuse of the goods with which God has endowed her.” The earth can indeed be called a “Mother,” as she provides for what we need to live.

Pope Francis will consecrate Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary at St. Peter's Basilica in Rome on Friday, March 25, 2022.  I will also pray the Act of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary at Sacred Heart Cathedral in San Angelo at the same time.
