Archdiocesan Statement re: Cardinal DiNardo

MARCH 16, 2019

Office of Communications

Cardinal DiNardo was taken to a Houston hospital last night after experiencing the symptoms of what tests today have confirmed was a mild stroke. The Cardinal is resting comfortably and conversing with associates, doctors and nurses. It is expected that Cardinal DiNardo will remain hospitalized for a few more days of testing and observation, followed by a transfer to another facility for rehabilitation. He is grateful to the doctors and nurses for their wonderful care and for continued prayers during his recovery. Cardinal DiNardo said, "With so much to do, I am looking forward to getting back to work as soon.

Please pray for Cardinal DiNardo.

CRS Rice Bowls

It's time for Rice Bowls! Each year, the Rice Bowl program raises money to continue the work of Catholic Relief Services in poor communities around the world, including some here in the United States. Rice Bowl materials will be available in the narthex of the church beginning Ash Wednesday, March 6.

Be sure to check out these online resources: In addition to filling your donation box, we encourage you also to visit the CRS website at www.crsricebowl.org. The website contains recipes for meatless meals, prayer resources, and even a Lenten Digital Retreat to help you observe this holy season.

This year, give your donation online. Due to the generosity of our parishioners, it takes considerable time and effort to collect, count, and sort Rice Bowl donations dropped off at the parish. For this reason, we will not be collecting Rice Bowls in the parish office this year. Instead, we are asking you to send the money you collect directly to CRS, using their online giving tool at www.crsricebowl.org. Be sure to include the name of our parish in the box provided! (You can also mail a check to Catholic Relief Services, CRS Rice Bowl, P.O. Box 17090, Baltimore, Maryland 21297-0303) Thank you for your support!

Questions? Contact Amy Auzenne in the parish office or at [email protected]

Room Reservations

In order to insure proper staffing, the parish office requires at least a 2-week notice for room reservation requests. If you require a setup, that setup must be submitted with your request. Please contact Jane Truttier at 281-353-9774 ext 814 or [email protected] for room reservations.

We are receiving many last minute requests and want to accommodate everyone as best we can; so, we thank you for adhering to this policy.
