Young Adults ages 21-35 are invited to meet for Spirit and Spirits this Thursday, September 21, at 7:0 PM at Basin Burger House, 607 N. Colorado Street in Midland. We are excited to welcome speaker Bishop Sis to join us for happy hour.
As Masses this weekend (September 23-24, 2017), parishioners in the Diocese of San Angelo will have the opportunity to contribute to a special collection to assist those impacted by Hurricane Irma in Florida and the Caribbean. Contributions from West Texas will be used in the affected areas to support humanitarian aid, assistance with long-term efforts to restore communities, and for the pastoral and reconstruction needs of the Church there. Thank you for your expression of solidarity for our brothers and sisters in their time of need.
The tragedy of Hurricane Harvey is causing tremendous suffering for our brothers and sisters on the Gulf Coast. Families are seeking shelter, people are searching for loved ones, emergency workers are serving tirelessly, and survivors are trying to find hope for the future.
UPDATED WITH NEW COLLECTION DATES -- Hurricane Harvey has caused a widespread path of destruction. Our prayers and material support are urgently needed to help rebuild lives.

My wife Linda and I were honored to be invited by the Diocese and Bishop Mike Sis to attend the Convocation of Catholic Leaders held this July in Orlando, Florida.
Before July, I did not know this: Every year, people in Gibsland, La., brandish automatic weapons, have shootouts and engage in car chases — and everyone gets away with it. It happens every May on the anniversary of the ambush of Bonnie and Clyde, in this tiny northern Louisiana burg.
En la Convocatoria de Líderes Católicos en Orlando en julio de 2017, ayudé en la presentación de una sesión de grupo sobre el tema de ayudar a los jóvenes a hacer la transición de la juventud a la edad adulta joven.

I ask for prayers for all those affected by this tragedy. In response to this brutal example of human trafficking and loss of life, we must ask about the social conditions that would lead human beings to resort to such desperate means of emigration. We should promote forms of international cooperation that will help build peace, justice, and stability in our neighboring countries, so that people will have enough hope to be willing to stay and contribute constructively in the upbuilding of their own native country.
In an effort to support city watering restrictions, watering at Calvary Cemetery will be limited to Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday. Thank you for your cooperation.
Ya, por ahora, estamos a medios del verano. El verano es una oportunidad que podría ser utilizado bien o podría ser desperdiciado. Para muchos, trae una oportunidad acogedora para unos días de vacaciones y de viaje. El tomar una quebrada para un pequeño cambio de ritmo nos puede ayudar a evitar el agotamiento, y también puede enriquecer la calidad de nuestra vida. En este artículo me gustaría explorar algunas ideas para el verano que están arraigadas en nuestra fe Católica.
By now we're in the middle of summer. Summer is an opportunity that could be used well or squandered away. For many, it brings a chance for some welcome vacation time and travel. Taking a break for a little change of pace can help us to avoid burnout, and it can also enrich the quality of our life. In this article I would like to explore a few ideas for summer that are rooted in our Catholic faith.
