The Rite of Election was recently celebrated by St. Stephen catechumens. The reason we celebrate this ritual is given to us in the introduction to the rite:

"Thus the Church makes its “election,” that is, the choice and admission of those catechumens who have the dispositions that make them fit to take part, at the next major celebration, in the sacraments of initiation."

January 10, 2020

Due to the severity of this flu season, the Diocese of Fort Worth has instructed pastors to immediately implement the following liturgical adaptations:

• To encourage the faithful to not hold hands during the Our Father
• To suspend the distribution of the Precious Blood
• To suspend handshakes during the Sign of Peace
• If a non-communicant comes forth for a blessing, the blessing should be given without touching them

The faithful are reminded that in receiving the Blessed Sacrament under one species, they are still receiving our Lord – body, blood, soul, and divinity as the Church has always taught.

You can pre-register on this website www.hikeforlifetexas.com, or register at the event for hiking and donations.

This event is a peaceful and courageous way to defend life in our community.  All are welcome to join us in this event to take a stand for the voiceless.  "Never tire of firmly speaking out in the defense of life from its conception. Christ is with you: Be not afraid!" - John Paul II
