My deepest congratulations to Archbishop Mark Rivituso. On Monday, June 29, he will be in Vatican City to receive a sacred pallium from Pope Leo XIV. Please join me in praying for him as he continues to lead the Archdiocese of Mobile with Christ’s light.
Lord,
Help us to live out the loyalty of St. John Fisher, the courage of St. Thomas More, and the steadfast commitment they showed to our Church.
Amen.
Most Rev. Daniel E. Garcia, Bishop of @AustinDiocese, reflects on Juneteenth, the day Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, to announce the end of slavery more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.
He addresses the painful legacy of slavery, often called America’s original sin, and the systemic racism that still casts its shadow today. He points to the opportunity Catholics have to recognize the inherent dignity of every person and to renew the commitment to racial justice, reconciliation, and peace.
As Catholics, we look to Pope Leo XIV for guidance, pastoral care, and spiritual leadership. In being ever faithful to the Gospel, the Holy Father challenges us to bring the light of our faith in Christ to the world in these trying times. 🧵
The Savior of the world called him father.
In the hidden life of Nazareth, Joseph shows us that holiness is built in the ordinary. In daily work. In steady love. In doing exactly what the Lord asks.
Missouri has the opportunity to move toward a more just and humane criminal justice system — one that protects society while respecting the value of every human life.
Born into nobility in Rome, she chose a life of faithful service.
Rooted in prayer and devoted to her family, she showed that holiness is lived in the ordinary with extraordinary love.
St. Frances of Rome, patroness of widows and motorists, pray for us.
Two hundred years of faith in St. Louis have always led us outward.
This March, Archbishop Rozanski invites us to pray for the poor and those on the margins. As we celebrate our bicentennial, may we see Christ in those in need and respond with compassion.

In these troubling days, we recognize with heavy hearts that the events unfolding in Minneapolis do not reflect the values we hold dear as a Church and as a Nation. As Catholics, we believe that the dignity of human life is not dependent on legal or any other status.
