Publisher of The Texas Catholic

Our hearts and prayers go out to the victims of the Moore, Oklahoma tornado. We thank God that the casualties were not as horrific as first reported. Nevertheless the lives of those who lost loved ones or their homes have been changed forever. I share the thoughts of Pope Francis who tweeted “I am close to the families of all who died in the Oklahoma tornado, especially those who lost young children. Join me in praying for them.”

Please be generous with your prayers and your donations to aid our neighbors in Oklahoma.
