What is the Light is on For You?

  The Church encourages us
  to make confession a
  regular part of our spiritual
  life, especially during the
  holy seasons of Lent and
  Advent, as we reflect on our
  baptism and repentance. 



This Lent, all parishes in the Catholic Diocese of Dallas will have their "lights on" for confession and quiet prayer so that Catholics can come to or return to this incredible source of God’s grace,
mercy and healing.

"Don't be afraid of Confession. When you go into a confessional, you have so many emotions, including shame. But afterwords you feel free, great, beautiful and forgiven ... Each one of you should ask yourselves: When was the last time I went to Confession? If a lot of time has passed, then don't let another day go by. Go forward."

- Pope Francis, February 19, 2014

  The tradition of blessing Easter food is widely practiced in Eastern   
  European countries. Traditional foods are brought for blessing to
  symbolize many important aspects of Easter. During the blessing, the
  Priest or Deacon will say a prayer and sprinkle holy water on the food.
  This Holy Saturday, the parish is invited to bring their food to be
  blessed for Easter. This blessing will take place in the Chapel at 10:00 AM. Please feel free to bring any food traditional to your family for your Easter celebration.
