Call for Peace and Vigilance at Mass by the Diocese of Fort Worth
May 6, 2022
There have been numerous and public calls recently by abortion activist groups to organize disruptions at Catholic Masses across the nation in response to the leaked decision from the Supreme Court regarding Roe v. Wade.  This type of  activity is an attempt to threaten the rightful and peaceful assembly of Christians to worship and disrupt the sanctity of the holy sacrifice of the Mass.
These groups are calling for people to dress in costume, carry signs and record their protests while attempting to enter churches in order to cause disruption and provocation.  All of us must remain peaceful, prayerful, and recollected.  Each and all of us should be more intentionally aware of our surroundings this weekend and in the coming months.  If you see any type of suspicious activity, please remain calm and immediately report it to church volunteers who are the ushers and guardian ministry members so that they can respond as directed in order to prevent confrontation and preserve and promote the safety of all.
 

Today we take up the Good Shepherd Sunday special collection for the Diocesan Seminarian Education Fund. Seminarians have responded to God’s call and will one day shepherd us on our faith journey. We have an opportunity to be a help to them on their discernment journey by praying for them and by giving generously to this collection.
Make your gift today during Mass or online at bit.ly/DioceseSpecialCollections (case sensitive).
