Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:By contributing to the Catholic Services Appeal (CSA), you have the extraordinary opportunity to be someone’s miracle. Your gift benefits thousands
of men, women, and children from all walks of life across our diocese. What we do collectively as one family of faith makes a significant difference in the lives of so many. When you extend a helping hand to the poor and vulnerable you are the miracle that brings hope to those who need it most.
Gratefully in Christ,
Most Reverend Joe S. Vásquez
Bishop of Austin
Called By Name Sunday, 1,200 names were submitted. For this annual event, out priests are asked to submit names of men and women who would be good candidates for the priesthood or religious life. We welcomed 13 new seminarians last fall and have accepted 24 seminarians for this upcoming fall, with a potential of six more. What a blessing it is to have 60 men studying for the priesthood.
