"The Bishop has entrusted the pastoral care of the faithful of this parish to me. My dream is that we reflect Christ to all we meet."
Our parish motto is "Bringing Christ to all. Bringing All to Christ!"
These are the words of the Venerable Antonio Margil de Jesus, O.F.M., a Franciscan missionary who first brought Christ to this part of the new world.
In 1719 he and other Franciscans, established missions in what is now the town of Alto, Texas.

Novena in Honor of Our Lady of SorrowsSeptember 7 – September 15, 2010 Our Novena in honor of Our Lady of Sorrows begins Wednesday, September 7th and continues until the Feast Day on 15 September. Novena Mass is offered each day as listed here and in the bulletin with a sermon on the Sorrows of Mary and Novena Prayers (see below). The Wednesday evening Mass is followed by an hour of Eucharistic Adoration, during which confessions are heard; the adoration concludes with Night Prayer (Compline). The Novena is always a busy time for us, but it is a time of special grace for our community here and for the people who take part in these nine days of prayer in honor of the Sorrows of Mary. During these days we remember the intentions of all who are making the Novena, those present and those united with us in prayer. You can also pray this Novena at home, however its deepest meaning is in the context of the holy sacrifice of the Mass. The novena will be prayed at the end of mass.Novena ScheduleTuesday, September 7............12:15 p.m. & 6:00 p.m. & 7:00 p.m. en EspañolWednesday, September 8........6:00 p.m.Thursday, September 9.........9:00 a.m. & 6:00 p.m. & 7:00 p.m. en Español Friday, September 10.. 12:15 p.m. & 6:00 p.m. Confessions after mass Saturday, September 11......
