Due to the parishioner actions and the strong, proactive efforts of our city Councilman, Carlton Soules, the difficult parking issues facing our parish have been favorably resolved. A special thanks to all of you who participated so vibrantly! Our right to park on Urban Crest and Robin Rest will be protected. Signs will instead indicate “No Parking between 10 PM and 6 AM” insuring parking during Mass and other events is available for parishioners and visitors.
Fr. Francis shares his reflections on the Prodigal Son and the need for forgiveness and conversion in our lives.

Pastor's Desk - Year of Faith Pilgrimages - In the bulletin, you will find an insert which contains Archbishop Gustavo’s letter on the special indulgences we can receive during the Year of Faith. These Indulgences will be granted for spending time in prayer and reflection at one of the pilgrimage sites listed on the back of the insert. This will also be a wonderful opportunity to join in solidarity with the Catholic Church in San Antonio as well as with the Universal Church in Rome.
Fr. Francis' Homily on the terrible fate which awaits those who abuse and harm children.
