On Oct. 28, the Office of Vocations - Diocese of Dallas hosted a St. Andrew’s Dinner at All Saints Catholic Community, where more than 130 men gathered to seek God’s will. Joined by Bishop Edward J. Burns, seminarians and priests, participants shared in eucharistic adoration, a holy hour, and evening prayer, followed by dinner and meaningful dialogue about discerning priestly vocations.

“In your heart is the opportunity to ask God what he wants of you and how you, in turn, can have the strength, the grace, and the gifts of his spirit to respond to his holy will," Bishop Burns told those attending the St. Andrew's Dinner. "As I pray this evening prayer and this holy hour with all of you, I keep you all in a very special place in my heart and in my prayers.”

CAMPUS MINISTRIES | Bishop Edward J. Burns celebrated a Mass Oct. 21 for the dedication of the Tinker Catholic Student Center and the new Saint Pier Giorgio Frassati Chapel within the center, serving the University of Texas at Dallas. Students and supporters packed the pews as Bishop Burns was joined by his brother priests, including Father Tymo Ksiazkiewicz, chaplain of the center, for the celebration. The new chapel nearly doubles the size of the previous worship space, offering students a more spacious and welcoming sacred place for prayer and community.

"I want you to know as your shepherd that this is your spiritual home," Bishop Burns said to the Tinker Catholic Student Center community during his homily for the Mass. "I want you to know in all that you do here on campus, and in the years that you spend here, that this where you can come and indeed encounter the Lord."

Healthcare professionals gathered in prayer and fellowship at the National Shrine Cathedral of Our Lady of Guadalupe on Oct. 18, the feast of St. Luke the Evangelist, for the annual White Mass celebrated by Bishop Edward J. Burns.

Presented by the Catholic Medical Guild of Dallas, the White Mass honors those in the healing professions and is traditionally held near the feast day of St. Luke — the patron saint of physicians and surgeons. The name White Mass refers to the white coats and uniforms commonly worn by healthcare workers and the Mass welcomes physicians, nurses, caregivers, and all who serve in the healing arts.

During the Mass, Bishop Burns also introduced and offered a blessing for Father Ikenna (Iyke) Udemba, parochial vicar of Prince of Peace Catholic Church in Plano, as the chaplain for the Catholic Medical Guild of Dallas.

Following the liturgy, attendees gathered for a reception in the Grand Salon.

MINISTRIES | Hundreds of parish ministry leaders from communities across the Diocese of Dallas gathered Oct. 11 at Bishop Lynch High School for the 2025 Parish Leadership Conference, a daylong event aimed at renewing and equipping the faithful for the Church’s mission. The conference, which drew nearly 700 attendees, was inspired by the Jubilee of Hope 2025 and St. Paul’s words that “hope does not disappoint.”

"In this diocese, I rely deeply on the collaboration of pastors and priests, deacons, religious, and especially you — our parish leaders," Bishop Edward J. Burns said in his homily for the conference's opening Mass. "You are not just 'helpers' to the mission; you participate in the mission itself. When you lead a ministry, coordinate volunteers, serve in administration, or accompany families in need, you are participating in the responsibility and the ministry of the Church to shepherd the people of God in north Texas."

Thank you to everyone who attended this year's conference! We look forward to seeing you again in 2026!
