Last night, we concluded three training sessions on Family and Marriage at St. Cecilia Parish in the Diocese of Dallas.

I am grateful to the Director of Catholic Social Ministries, Dr. Juan Rendón, for the invitation and for this wonderful collaboration. I have fond memories of the wonderful catechists and staff of St. Cecilia, whose service and dedication were a true testament to their faith.

The topics covered were:
The family as the vital cell of society
The family in God's plan
Marriage: The foundation and sacrament of the family.

This weekend we began the pre-marital preparation for the couples who will soon receive the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony.

We thank Deacon Rubén and his wife Evangelina Vargas, along with their team from Sacred Heart of Parish in Rowlett, for leading the sessions with such dedication and commitment.

Here I am with my Director, Juan Carlos Moreno, welcoming the couples.

It was undoubtedly a very enriching weekend, and very timely as we begin National Marriage Week.

I ask that you offer a prayer for these couples, for our presenters, and for all married couples. 🙏🙏🙏

Today, the Office of Evangelization, Catechesis and Family Life in collaboration with World Wide Marriage Encounter, is honored to host an Enrichment Sponsor Couple Retreat for the devoted couples who help prepare engaged couples for the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony. This retreat is a special time for reflection, renewal, and fellowship—an opportunity for these generous servants to fill their own cups as they accompany and guide others on the path toward lifelong commitment.

We ask you to lift them up in prayer. May the Holy Spirit continue to inspire, strengthen, and guide them in this beautiful ministry, so that God’s love may continue to shine through their work with every couple they serve.

We are especially grateful to St. Monica's Catholic Church for graciously hosting us. This gathering has been made possible through the generous support of the Bishop’s Appeal, whose contributions help strengthen and sustain ministries like this retreat.
