Brothers and sisters, today we celebrate the glorious resurrection of Christ!

Today, in churches around the world, we unite in commemorating the Passion and Death of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The journey we began on Ash Wednesday and the sacrifices we have made have led us to Holy Week.

Join me in praying for Pope Francis who was taken to the hospital today. We ask God to grant him healing and restoration. May the Mother of God give him consolation during his time of sickness.

One of the most amazing miracles, captured only in the Gospel of John, is the raising of Lazarus from the dead. Despite being entombed for four days, Jesus summons Lazarus who emerges bound by burial cloths...

May Christ heal our blindness and open our eyes with the gift of faith

Today we commemorate and express gratitude to God on the 10th Anniversary of Pope Francis’ papacy...

As we enter the third week of Lent, we hear the story of the Israelites’ journey in the desert. As their journey continues, their anger toward Moses intensifies...

Last Saturday, I celebrated mass with 95 men discerning their vocation...

I, therefore, decree that on Friday, March 17, 2023, all Catholics of the Diocese of Austin, no matter where they may be, and all other Catholics actually present in the Diocese on that Day, are, by my authority, dispensed from the obligation to abstain from meat.

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of a season of grace that invites us into a profound reflection of our relationship with God and one another.

My Dear Brothers and Sisters, January has come and gone so quickly with so much happening in our Church in a very short time...

As we find ourselves in this post Roe v. Wade world, may we tirelessly pray and persevere in advocating for the most vulnerable in our society.

January begins a new year and brings a renewed sense of hope in God’s providence.

Tomorrow, we celebrate the annual “Saints and Scholars” gala, where individuals who have made significant contributions to each of our 20 outstanding Catholic schools will be honored.

May God reward Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI for his faithful service to the church as priest, bishop and pope... January is also filled with a number of celebrations founded on the Gospel of Life.

It is with profound sadness that I received the news of the passing of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. As the successor to St. Peter, his steadfast devotion to the Church’s magisterium and profound spiritual insights have left a significant imprint on the entire people of God. 

The incarnate word of God, which we welcome and worship on the Solemnity of the Nativity of Jesus, transformed human history forever and restored the profound gift of hope to our world.

As we begin this fourth week of Advent, we are only days away from celebrating Christmas. This week’s Gospel passage from Matthew recounts St. Joseph’s dream where an angel speaks to him. As a consequence of that dream, Joseph’s life and ours change forever.

This Sunday of Advent is called Gaudete Sunday - Gaudete meaning “rejoice” in Latin. It is the midpoint of our Advent journey and a moment to rejoice, for we are drawn ever closer to the celebration at Christmas...
