Many weather models predict that freezing will not begin until tonight. Therefore, it may be prudent to attend the 5:30pm Mass this afternoon. However, even if you are ministering at Mass, please feel free to stay at home, and I would ask you to do so if you live out of town, especially Sunday Morning, if you assess the risk is too great. It is always permissible to stay home on Sunday for a grave reason, such as debilitating illness, serious risk of contagion, the requirement to care for those with such conditions, or duties that are necessary for safety. This should never be taken as a permission to go other places like work, school, sports, shopping, or the restaurant. If you are able to do these activities, then you should attend Mass. Choosing to stay home does not dispense you from Sunday worship. There is no dispensation from treating Sunday as Holy. You should, in some way, respect this day by avoiding labor that is strictly for financial profit, spending time with family, and dedicating time to prayer such as the family rosary, praying with the readings for the Sunday, prayerfully following Mass through multimedia, or some combination of these types of activities. - In Christ: Fr. Kurtis Wiedenfeld

Let us pray for our Most Rev. James Misco, the Diocese of Tuscon, and our own Diocese during this transition. Congratulations Fr. Misco!

Pope Leo XIV has appointed Father James Misko as the Bishop of Tucson

"This morning it was announced that our Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, has appointed Fr. James Misko as the 8th bishop of the Diocese of Tucson. With great joy for the Church and Fr. James, I invite you to join me in congratulating and praying for him as he undertakes this new pastoral responsibility." - Bishop Daniel E. Garcia

"The Diocese of Austin has benefitted greatly from the many years of priestly ministry Fr. James has given to this local church.

"He was ordained a priest in 2007 and has served at St. Elizabeth Parish in Pflugerville, Christ the King Parish in Belton, and St. Louis Catholic Parish in Austin, prior to his appointment as Vicar General and Moderator of the Curia in 2019. More recently, he served as Diocesan Administrator during the period of sede vacante before my installation in September.

"I am personally very grateful to Fr. James for his service as diocesan administrator and to me these last few months. While he will be missed, we know that he will shepherd the people of the Diocese of Tucson with his many gifts and joyful love for our Lord!

"We will share details of his episcopal ordination and installation as soon as we receive the information.

"May Our Lady of Guadalupe watch over and protect him always."
