_ Bishop Michael Pfeifer, OMI, reminds all Christians that on January 18, 2012, we begin the annual Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, which ends on Wednesday, January 25, 2012—the Feast of the Conversion of the great Apostle, St. Paul.  Bishop Pfeifer encourages all Christians of all churches in the local area and throughout West Texas to have prayer services, inviting all Christians to pray for the Christian unity which Christ so wants for all members of the Body of Christ.
 
During this Week of Prayer, special prayers will be offered in all the Catholic Churches of the Diocese that make up the 29 counties of West Texas.  Bishop Pfeifer encourages all of us to reach out to other religious leaders and invite them to pray together for this unity that we all want for the Body of Christ.
