Our parish will be taking up an emergency special collection for the Texas Hill Country flood victims. Your donations will be given to Catholic organizations that provide food, shelter, aid, and hope. Let us pray for all the families who mourn, for the first responders carrying out difficult and dangerous work, and for all who are helping in recovery efforts. Together, we can support our sisters and brothers as they begin to rebuild and restore hope. Please prayerfully consider how you can support this emergency special collection for our brothers and sisters in Texas. If you can, please consider giving this weekend at Mass, or online at Special Collections, or by texting TEXASFLOOD to 817-402-3525. If writing a check, please be sure to note “Flood” on your check memo or envelope to ensure it reaches the victims directly. Thank you for your continued and gracious support.

We have had a lot of maintenance going on this summer here on campus, and the progress continues to move forward. On Monday, July 14, 2025, the Shepherd Center Roofing Project will begin. This project will be addressing hail damage that we have received to the roof previously. This project is currently estimated to take two weeks to complete but could be extended into a third week depending on weather and construction issues. The Roofing Contractor’s crews will be working a six day work schedule running from Monday through Saturday during this period of time. The crews will start early in the morning at sunrise and will run through most of the day until around 6:00pm.
As a result of the roof construction activities, we will be closing the driveways and parking lots next to the Shepherd Center and the six exterior doors of the Shepherd Center during these construction periods to ensure safety in this construction area.
Please note, all entry to the Shepherd Center during roof construction activities will be unavailable for entry. All entry to the Shepherd Center must be through the Admin - South Entry Doors (front office) or the Parish Hall Center - West Entry Doors (hallway to classrooms).
We’re halfway there! The Tinker Road Project is moving along, with the waterline installed and just a few connections left. The contractor
can then move on to installing the drainage improvements. Once the underground utilities are complete, it will be time for road surface
improvements and adding a sidewalk along the north side. The project is currently on schedule, with completion expected this Fall. As a reminder, Tinker Road from Ponderosa to Caldwell Hughes Road will be closed to westbound traffic for the duration of the construction. Traffic will only be able to travel eastbound within the work zone.
