In light of several recent immigration enforcement encounters resulting in the loss of life, Bishop Garcia and Bishop Cahill issued a pastoral reflection.

Mientras el Centro de Texas experimenta intensas lluvias, damos gracias a Dios por el don de la lluvia, que renueva la tierra y sostiene su creación. Al mismo tiempo, elevamos nuestras oraciones por todas las personas que puedan verse afectadas por lo que se describe como un posible evento de inundaciones sin precedentes. Pedimos al Señor que proteja toda vida humana y fortalezca a quienes sirven y responden.

As Central Texas experiences significant rainfall, we give thanks to God for the gift of rain that refreshes the earth and sustains His creation. We also lift in prayer all those who may be impacted by what is being described as the potential for unprecedented flooding, asking the Lord to protect lives and strengthen those who serve and respond.

The 2025 Annual Report on the Implementation of the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People produced by the Secretariat of Child and Youth Protection (SCYP) in 2025, describes the progress of Catholic dioceses/eparchies in implementing victim assistance and child protection policies and programs in the United States, particularly those found within the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People. The audit process measures compliance with the articles of the Charter. The Statement of Episcopal Commitment and Essential Norms, found after the Charter within the same booklet, are not the purview of the audit.
