On Ash Wednesday in 2021, Most Reverend Edward J. Burns, eighth Bishop of Dallas, wrote a Letter to the Faithful, acknowledging the profound impact the COVID-19 pandemic had on the community. He shared, "A historic pandemic needed a historic response," and announced his decision to convene a synod for the Diocese of Dallas. This would be the first synod in 90 years, since the one convened by Bishop Joseph P. Lynch. The diocesan synodal process began on December 12, 2021, the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Today, four years later, after 30 listening sessions with thousands of participants, countless pages of feedback, and a Synod Assembly with more than 300 delegates, Bishop Burns presents the Post-Synodal Pastoral Letter for the Diocese of Dallas. This is the first of a small series of letters that will highlight the work and status of the Diocesan Synod in the Diocese of Dallas. As we begin this time of Lenten prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, we invite you today to read and reflect on the 2025 Ash Wednesday Pastoral Letter by Bishop Burns.

Fr. B. announced that starting February 1, our parking garage DALPARK was raising their rates and as a result we would only be able to pay for up to two (2) hours of parking. Today on February 26th, they have taken our machine and programmed the barcode. Starting Thursday February 27th, we will only be able to pay for the two hours of parking at DALPARK. Please be sure to insert the parking ticket only one time into the validation machine so it prints a barcode in the middle. Inserting it more than once will null the barcode and you will be charge the maximum rate. Thank you!
