Dear Friends in Christ,
The Bishop’s Annual Appeal for Catholic Ministries is an opportunity to invest in our shared Catholic identity by supporting our many ministries, schools, and vocations that help us carry out the mission of Jesus Christ in North Texas. In light of our recent challenges in dealing with the pandemic, we remain hopeful and more firmly committed to meeting the needs around us.
Please support the apostolic mission of the future of the Church in North Texas by making a monthly gift or one-time donation to the 2021 Bishop’s Annual Appeal by clicking on the link below.
For those of you who have already given to this year’s Appeal, I thank you for your faithfulness and generosity.
Faithfully yours in Christ,
Most Reverend Edward J. Burns

Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer,

To you God entrusted his only Son;

Obtain for us grace, mercy and courage,

Salve, custodio del Redentor
y esposo de la Virgen María.
A ti Dios confió a su Hijo,

Oh, bienaventurado José,
muéstrate padre también a nosotros
y guíanos en el camino de la vida.
Concédenos gracia, misericordia y valentía,
y defiéndenos de todo mal.
Amén.
