The aim of World Mission Sunday, Oct. 18, established 100 years ago by Pope Pius XI, has “borne fruit in my own life,” Pope Leo XIV said.

In January, Pope Leo XIV announced he had chosen the theme “One in Christ, united in mission” for this year’s celebration, with his message for the day encouraging “the whole Church to continue its missionary journey with joy and zeal in the Holy Spirit.”

More than 900 parish leaders and volunteers from across the Diocese of Dallas gathered at Bishop Lynch High School on Oct. 3 for the 2026 Parish Leadership Conference, “Missionary Discipleship: Called and Sent Forth.”

It was a day of prayer, learning and fellowship—and a reminder that each of us has a part to play in sharing the Gospel with our parishes, families and communities.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the day possible and to all who continue to give their time and gifts in service to the Church.

May what we celebrated and learned at PLC 2026 continue to inspire us as we go forth together.

Called and sent forth.

More than 900 parish and ministry leaders from throughout the Diocese of Dallas gathered Saturday, Oct. 2, at Bishop Lynch High School (Official) for the 2026 Parish Leadership Conference, “Missionary Discipleship: Called and Sent Forth.”

The day was dedicated to renewing, equipping, and connecting parish leaders across ministries. Participants prayerfully opened the day with a Mass celebrated by Father Arthur Unachukwu, vicar general of the Diocese of Dallas; heard from internationally known speakers and presenters; participated in breakout sessions; and shared meaningful opportunities for fellowship and prayer.

Together, parish ministry leaders were reminded that missionary discipleship is not simply a calling — it is a mission. We are called to encounter Christ, equipped to serve and sent forth to share the Gospel in our parishes, families and communities.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this day of faith, formation, and fellowship possible. May we continue to answer the call and go forth as missionary disciples!

A beautiful tradition took flight at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic School on Sept. 23 as students, faculty and staff gathered to remember Preston James, a former Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas student who spent his senior year serving at OLPH.

Preston died unexpectedly in September 2021, but the relationships he formed during his time at OLPH continue to shape the school community. Through the annual butterfly release, the OLPH community celebrates Preston’s life and the lasting legacy of kindness, service and joy he left behind.

May Preston’s example remind us all: kindness is never wasted, love is never forgotten, and even the smallest act of service can leave a lasting mark.
