On. Nov. 15, couples gathered at the National Shrine Cathedral of Our Lady of Guadalupe for the annual Catholic Diocese of Dallas Newlywed Mass, celebrated by Bishop Edward J. Burns. The annual Mass offered couples, who were married between November 2024 and October 2025, an opportunity to give thanks for the sacrament of marriage as they begin their journey together in faith.

At the end of the Mass, Bishop Burns offered a special blessing for the couples. The newlywed couples then attended a reception in the Grand Salon, where they enjoyed fellowship and a celebration of the joy of their shared vocation of marriage.

Let us pray for these couples as they begin their journey together, filled with faith, hope, and love!

A Prayer for Veterans Day

Lord God, Almighty Father,
creator of mankind and author of peace,
as we are ever mindful of the cost paid for the liberty we possess,
we ask you to bless the members of our armed forces.
Give them courage, hope and strength.
May they ever experience your firm support, gentle love and compassionate healing.
Be their power and protector, leading them from darkness to light.
To you be all glory, honor and praise, now and forever. Amen.

More than 450 altar servers from parishes across the Catholic Diocese of Dallas gathered with their friends and families Nov. 8 at Bishop Lynch High School (Official) for a special Mass honoring recipients of the Serra Club Altar Server Awards. Father Arthur Unachukwu, vicar general and vicar of clergy, presided and concelebrated with his brother priests. Father Mark Garrett, diocesan director of vocations, delivered the homily, encouraging altar servers to listen for God’s call in their lives.

"We need you by our side. We need you helping us. We need you helping the people of God. Help us do this well, for the sake of the salvation of souls," Father Garrett said in his homily. "If you have a vocation, it's going to begin there. It's going to begin with that relationship with the Eucharist. It's going to begin with your relationship with the Mass. It's going to begin with the proximity that you can find by being as close as possible to this place of sacrifice, and when you serve at the altar, that is where you are. Brothers and sisters, thank you for your work...thank you for your service."
