The pews of Sacred Heart of Jesus Vietnamese Catholic Church in Carrollton were packed the morning of Jan. 10 as Bishop Edward J. Burns celebrated a Mass to ordain Br. Minh Nguyen, CSsR, and Br. Dai Ho, CSsR, to the transitional diaconate.

"St. Peter reminds us: As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another," Bishop Burns said in his homily. "You are sent beyond the comfort and familiarity, wherever the Church or your congregation may send you, you are ordained to go but always as men who remain grounded in prayer, community, and compassion. Brothers, serve with humility, serve with joy, serve especially when your work is hidden, when nobody seems to work with the compassion that you do."

The stars above — about 2,000 of them — called artist Catherine Brandt home to the Diocese of Dallas this year as a decorator in St. Ann Catholic Parish’s Transcend campaign.

A native of Dallas who now lives in Atlanta, Catherine has spent the last several years traveling from gig to gig as a working artist. The Dallasite made a temporary return to her home diocese this year, however, to put her artistic talents to the service of the St. Ann community’s Transcend campaign: a multi-million-dollar project that has been years in the making. Catherine’s work on the “heavens” of the Coppell parish — the 1,960 or so gold-gilded stars that will adorn the church’s ceiling — is just one of her many contributions to the comprehensive project currently underway.

After an intense day of roundtable discussions, the “low-batteried” but “very pleased” cardinals wrapped the first historic extraordinary consistory convened by Pope Leo XIV in a spirit of fraternity, with a sense of knowing each other better and saying they “discovered” the pope, while he did “more listening than talking.” They left the consistory with a clear vision of the new pontiff for “a Church that cares.”

On Jan. 4, Holy Family of Nazareth Catholic Church joyfully celebrated its annual Multi-Cultural Epiphany Mass, a beautiful witness to the universality of our Catholic faith. Parishioners gathered as one family to honor the feast of the Epiphany, when Christ revealed Himself to the whole world and proclaimed that salvation is for everyone.

The celebration was enriched by the active participation of our many cultural communities, including Nigerian, Kenyan, Tamil, Hispanic, Filipino, Chinese, Micronesian, French Congolese Catholics, as well as German and Scottish representatives. During the Mass, children dressed in their traditional cultural attire processed with Father, offering a powerful and moving sign of the Church’s diversity and unity.

On Jan. 4, Bishop Edward J. Burns celebrated Mass for thousands of participants at the SEEK 2026 Conference at Grapevine’s Ga***rd Texan Resort and Convention Center.

“This is a moment to seek, to seek the Lord, and to say yes to His will,” Bishop Burns said in his homily as he also reminded the faithful that the world may tempt us to shrink our faith into something private, but Christ calls us to share it boldly. “Be missionary disciples, seek Him out, kneel before Him, then offer your gifts, your talents, and your very life to Him.”

Organized by FOCUS, SEEK 2026 has drawn an estimated 26,000 participants to encounter Christ through talks, workshops, daily Mass, Eucharistic adoration, reconciliation, and fellowship across event locations in Columbus, Denver, and Grapevine.

Jesus entering the world as a little baby in need of everything is a sign of God’s solidarity with every person in need, longing for love and a helping hand, Pope Leo XIV said at Christmas morning Mass.

“The Word has pitched his fragile tent among us. How, then, can we not think of the tents in Gaza, exposed for weeks to rain, wind and cold; and of those of so many other refugees and displaced persons on every continent; or of the makeshift shelters of thousands of homeless people in our own cities?” he asked in his homily at the Mass Dec. 25 in St. Peter’s Basilica.

Almost two decades ago, under the expanse of a deep and starry Arkansas sky, Cesar Jesús Anguiano lifted a quiet prayer to the Lord: a request for the opportunity to make music — and to make it for the Church. Now, he lives that answered prayer daily as director of music ministry at the National Shrine Cathedral of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
