Bishop's Message: 75th Anniversary

Brothers and Sisters, I am pleased to announce that we will soon begin a year of celebration commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Diocese of Austin. This will be an opportunity to reflect and give thanks to God for the many gifts He has bestowed on this local church. This will be an opportunity to give thanks for the legacy of those who came before us and built a strong Catholic foundation in Central Texas. And, finally, this is an opportunity for us to renew our commitment to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ in our families, parish communities and beyond. On November the 19th, we will gather from our many parishes, missions, schools and apostolates to celebrate this historic event. I have designated five pilgrimage sites where the faithful may visit with an opportunity to receive a plenary indulgence granted by the Holy See. I invoke the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, under the title of the Immaculate Conception, that we may grow in deeper love and appreciation for her son, Jesus Christ. May our 75th anniversary be a blessing for all!
