The 2024-2025 Respect Life Campaign is about to begin, and we invite everyone to participate in this important cause! This year’s theme is "I Came So They Might Have Life," and it serves as a powerful reminder of the value of every human life, from conception to natural death. The campaign kicks off with Respect Life Sunday on October 6th, 2024, and we have several events planned that we encourage you to join.
Pilgrimage is a religious journey to visit a holy site or holy person, and such journeys are found in many religious traditions. In Christianity, and in the Jesuit tradition particularly, pilgrimage has long had a central place at times when people are passing through major growth stages and seek to encounter God and to know themselves in a more profound way.
We engaged in a meaningful conversation with Hector Herrera, one of our most steadfast donors, delving into the reasons why fostering a culture of sharing is consistently valuable.
Statement
Bishop Tamayo of the Diocese of Laredo expresses profound gratitude to his Brother Bishops for their dedicated efforts in addressing the concerns in the Eagle Pass area, which is an integral part of our diocese. We stand in solidarity with all those affected by the ongoing border situation, particularly the migrants seeking refuge.
