Missions and Discipleship

About the Missions Office and Discipleship

The Office of Missions and Discipleship together with the Department of Life, Charity and Justice works to cultivate a greater understanding of our mission identity that comes from our baptism. Together we seek to establish dialogue and be of assistance to our diocesan departments, parishes, clergy, the laity and schools to promote mission awareness, to stimulate mission education endeavors, to cultivate mission spirituality, and nurture missionary activity.

This work is achieved primarily through the works of:

• The Pontifical Mission Societies
• Catholic Relief Services
• Missionary Cooperative Plan​
• Ashes to Easter Lenten Campaign
• Mission Education
• Collaboration with internal and external organizations
• U. S. Catholic Mission Association
• Participating in the Texas Mission Council
