Hunger is a major affliction in the Rio Grande Valley, as in many parts of the country. Families, children and the elderly are affected. Those elected in November should work together and with local communities to address it. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Bp Flores in his homily on October 18 (the 29th Sunday of Ordinary Time), encourages us to be “active participants in the building up the goodness in the world.” He adds, “we have to be a sign and an influence” of God's kingdom in the world.
"A well-formed conscience does not simply follow personal preferences or political loyalties. The voting decisions we make affect not only ourselves, but also the lives of others in our communities."
-Bp Flores' letter to the faithful

El Santo Padre confirma la fe de toda la Iglesia; oremos nosotros por él.
Yesterday, Archbishop Paul Coakley (@ArchbishopOKC), USCCB president, and Bishop Daniel Flores (@bpdflores), USCCB vice president, met with Pope Leo XIV. They were joined by Msgr. Michael J.K. Fuller, USCCB general secretary, and Father Paul Hartmann, Associate General Secretary. Their meeting was part of the Conference’s annual visit made to the Curia offices. The USCCB is grateful for the opportunities that our bishops have to spend time with our Holy Father and assure him of our support and prayers, while also updating him on the Church in the United States.

Between the pillars I saw the Lord,
He did not hide his face from me.
