This summer, we are celebrating 25 years of Café Catholica - our annual young adult summer series! Listen as Fr. Sean Horrigan and Vivian Ramos, two members of the team that helped to launch Café Catholica 25 years ago, reminisce about the beginnings of this annual event and why they still encourage young adults to attend today.

The Café Catholica summer series is open to all young adults (ages 18-39) and features dynamic speakers, prayer, and social . Café Catholica 2024 will be held at St. Vincent de Paul (6800 Buffalo Speedway, Houston) on Monday evenings in July. Each night will include Confession at 5:15 pm, Mass at 6:15 pm, Dinner at 7:15 pm, and Talk at 8:15 pm. This year’s theme is: Home with Him. Come for all or part of the evening! No registration is needed to attend. Donations are accepted.

Most of us are familiar with the Corporal Works of Mercy, but the instruction to visit those in prison can be a challenge to many Catholics. Maybe we are held back by fear or intimidation or perhaps we don't know how to help or where to start.

Today I'm joined by Scott Underwood, Associate Director with the Office of Correctional Ministries for the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, Trey Mirenda, a Catholic chaplain with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and Tony VanDerbur, the Executive Director of Christian New Creation, which runs Isaiah House and Providence House.

Together, they share stories of hope, forgiveness, and transformation from their ministries to bring Christ to those incarcerated in the prisons and jails located across the Archdiocese.

Join us for a conversation with our three seminarians - Dcn. David Ramirez, Dcn. Viet Nguyen, and Dcn. Luis Armas - who are about to be ordained as priests for the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston on Saturday, June 1 at 10 a.m. at the Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart in downtown Houston.

They shared their vocation stories, their calling to the priesthood, and how they hope God is able to use them to make his presence more fully known right here in our Archdiocese.

The Ordination Mass will be livestreamed on our website (archgh.org/live) and on our social media channels.

If you or someone you know is discerning God's call to the priesthood or religious life, they can contact the Office of Vocations online at houstonvocations.com.
