A few weeks ago, we heard the Gospel of the vine and the branches: Jesus is the vine, we are the branches. Folks are still talking about the homily from that day, which demonstrated Jesus as the vine and dozens of people - the liturgical ministers from that particular Mass - forming a sloppy, winding, multi-branched vine streaming into the church aisles, but connected back to Jesus before the altar. It was a graphic illustration, and it was fun!

People who are honest with themselves and who possess some degree of faith sooner or later encounter the reality of Habits of Sin.

Congratulations to our newly trained and certified nullity case sponsors, Richard and Doris Miranda, Joan Hixon, Ve Anne Sheffield, Jose Angulo and Deacon Robert Trahan.

This weekend, June 9-10, Fr. Ron Cloutier from Correctional Ministries with the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston is presiding at all Masses. Why? He wants you to know that you are needed, and you are called to be disciples of Christ in mission work within the prison system...
