National Celebrate Catholic Schools Week is Jan. 30-Feb. 4, 2023. I am very proud of our four Catholic schools in the Diocese of San Angelo: Angelo Catholic School in San Angelo, St. Mary’s Central Catholic School in Odessa, St. Ann’s Catholic School in Midland, and Holy Cross Catholic High School in Midland-Odessa.
The Legion of Mary prayed the rosary inside the Cathedral Church of the Sacred Heart Jan. 23, while Bishop Michael Sis, Deacon Erick Morgado, and an honor guard of the Knights of Columbus led faithful bundled against the cold wind in an outdoor rosary procession in downtown San Angelo. The prayers and procession, offered on the historic date of the Supreme Court’s Roe vs. Wade decision legalizing abortion nationwide, was preamble to the diocesan Mass for Life celebrated by Bishop Sis in the cathedral.
