Bishop Leads Faithful in Diocesan Corpus Christi Procession

More than 1,500 faithful joined Bishop David Konderla for the Diocese of Tulsa & Eastern Oklahoma's Corpus Christi Procession through the heart of Tulsa on the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ.

Following Mass at Christ the King Parish, priests, seminarians, deacons, religious sisters, Knights, dance troupes, and faithful from across the diocese publicly witnessed to their faith in the Eucharist as they processed 1.5 miles to Holy Family Cathedral in prayer, song, and adoration.

Thank you to all who participated, volunteered, and helped make this beautiful expression of Eucharistic devotion possible. May our love for Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament continue to grow and inspire others to encounter Him. ✨🙏

June marks the 10th Episcopal Anniversary of Bishop David A. Konderla in the Diocese of Tulsa & Eastern Oklahoma.✨

Bishop Konderla was appointed the fourth Bishop of Tulsa on May 13, 2016 by Pope Francis and was ordained and installed as Bishop of the Diocese of Tulsa on June 29, 2016, in a ceremony at the University of Tulsa's Reynolds Center.

💬 Reflections on Bishop Konderla’s Ministry
“Bishop Konderla is a faith filled and steady shepherd. His pastor's heart is clear: he desires every parish and entity of the diocese to know its purpose, to make Jesus known. It has been a joy working alongside him. He is a deliberate leader who has a fair and balanced approach to dealing with the variety of situations that are placed before him for his consideration.”
- Very Rev. Gary Kastl, Vicar General

Join Bishop Konderla as we celebrate this joyful milestone with a special Anniversary Mass:

📍 Holy Family Cathedral
📅 August 9, 2026
🕔 5:00 p.m.

Please continue to keep Bishop Konderla in your prayers as he faithfully shepherds the people of Eastern Oklahoma. 🙏

Now that’s a liturgical color I haven’t seen in a long time. 😁

@FrMatthewLC I’ll take a screaming child at the next table over adults loudly dropping f-bombs for all to hear.

Memorial Day Schedule @SaintBenBA

[The Culturist @the_culturist_]

The annual Pentecost tradition (today!) at Rome's Pantheon is a moment of extraordinary beauty.

It occurs every year on the seventh Sunday after Easter. At noon, after the Holy Mass, thousands of rose petals are dropped through the oculus of the mighty dome.

As the petals fall, a choir sings "Veni Sancte Spiritus," known as the Golden Sequence, a masterpiece of sacred Latin poetry.

This is to celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Virgin Mary and the Apostles.

The rose petal ritual likely dates back to 607 AD when the pagan temple became a Christian church.

Sometimes you just gotta firmly say:

No.
Forgiveness *is* offered to you. Don’t resist it.
You are not your sin.
Your sin is not more powerful than the Cross. Your sin is not more powerful than God’s love that willed you into being.
You are *not* irredeemable.

[Fr. Joseph Krupp @Joeinblack]

It’s so easy to join the fragile, loud, fearful and angry mob that roams from outrage to outrage, burning and pillaging all in our path.

The leaders of these mobs point to the newest outrage and we run at their command; filled with indignation & righteousness.
In the meantime, Gods Word collects dust on our tables and bookshelves.
The voice of the Shepherd is there in that Word, longing to heal you and lead you to Heaven.
Should you pause and hear His voice, there will be no ashes & destruction in your path, but only goodness and kindness.
Pray for the grace to learn the voice of the Shepherd.
Follow that voice.

@Joeinblack Priest inertia can damage a parish nearly as much as priest addiction. No zeal for souls, doing little outside sacramental duties, years of treading water until retirement, knowing he still gets paid. The only benefit is seeing the parish revive under a new pastor.

[Fr. Bryan Brooks @frbryanbrooks]

@PaulinusOfTrier Additional questions could be included. When was the liturgical abuses were observed? Was it last Sunday or decades in the past? Was it the norm for that parish/diocese or the exception?

[Fr. Bryan Brooks @frbryanbrooks]

Oh Happy Day! Congratulations to Ariadna Valentina Ceballos Quintero, who was baptized on the Solemnity of the Ascension @SaintBenBA.
