MOBILE — It was only 10 years ago when teenager Alexander Crow said he wasn’t sure he believed in God. 

Thank you, Alex, for your openness to the call of God to ordained ministry. Trusting in God, you said yes to God’s call and here at this Mass the Church confirms your decision by calling you to be ordained.

About 100 people in Mobile took part in a one-mile Eucharistic procession for the Solemnity of Corpus Christi on June 6. 

My name is Tex Phelps and I am the new Director of Youth and Young Adult Ministry. In my position one of my favorite parts of the job is visiting different parish communities and the beautiful churches across the diocese. In my previous positions in Beaumont, Savannah, Maryland and Washington DC, I have been very blessed to visit many parishes and be a part of parish celebrations of the Liturgy and other special occasions. It is always an honor and a privilege to worship alongside different communities with the same faith. It brings us together as ONE.

Happy Fathers’ Day!  What does it mean to be “the father?”  Well often it means always being the one who ends up with the heels of every loaf of bread.

Beginning in grade school, we all were taught the 10 Commandments. These are God’s laws, given to Moses to be obeyed by God’s people. The commandments direct us not to lie, not to steal, not to commit adultery, not to kill, etc. We know God was serious about all the ones I just mentioned, but somehow we have the idea that God is not as serious about the commandment to keep holy the Sabbath. However, the Bible makes it clear that God is as serious about the commandment to keep holy the Sabbath as He is about the commandment not to kill. God commands that we keep the seventh day as the day that we gather and worship Him.

Summer is upon us! The kids are wrapping up school and within a couple of hours they will be complaining that they are bored. 

Thankfully, we can finally travel and visit relatives! It feels almost like the good ole pre-COVID days. We can venture out of our bubble and take a vacation or travel to visit family and friends. Traveling to new places is a fun adventure and presents a great opportunity for us as Christian disciples striving to be good stewards.

It is getting to be graduation season. Lots of our children, who are now young adults, are transitioning from one mode of being to another. Some are going off to college, some are going on to post-college academics and some are forging out into their careers.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in the Lord, We are blessed by the dedicated ministry of our priests. Their priestly ministry blesses us in many ways. They have many responsibilities but first and foremost they must be men of prayer. Without the foundation of a prayer life and a relationship with the Lord, their ministry would become empty. In order to support their spiritual life, an annual three day priest’s retreat is conducted every year beginning on Memorial Day. It is held at Manresa Retreat House in Convent, Louisiana.
