Bishop Daniel E. Garcia was installed as the sixth bishop of the Diocese of Austin on September 18, 2025. The Diocese of Austin is home to more than 700,000 Catholics in 127 parishes, missions, and university Catholic centers across 25 counties in Central Texas.
Lent draws us into the desert with Christ. It’s a sacred season—one that gives us the chance to slow down, reflect, and grow closer to Him. During these forty days, the Church invites us to focus on the three pillars of Lent: prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.
