This bulletin will come on alternate Saturday mornings to provide a quick summary of what is happening in the Diocese and beyond.

Texas

Houston: At St. Peter's, the Bishop's most recent visit was from 19-21 August. St. Peter's has a lovely new church and parish hall, completely paid for and strategically located near an interchange on an expressway in northwest Houston. The founding bishop of the Diocese, the Rt. Rev. S. Patrick Murphy, SSC, is the Rector, assisted by Fr. David Sprunk and Fr. Hampton Mabry. The congregation is lively, warm and gracious, a real family in the Household of Faith. Anyone going there for the first time will be glad he did.

Fort Worth: The Province of the America's Synod of the Society of the Holy Cross (SSC) will be held from 19-21 September at St. Vincent's Cathedral. A good number of our priests are in the SSC and will be attending. The SSC is an institute for priests who keep a rule of life, founded in London in 1855 and now numbering perhaps over 1,000 throughout the world. The SSC also has priests in the Free Synod of the Church of Sweden.
