Most Blessed Sacrament
Church is participating in the
WHY CATHOLIC? program sponsored by the Diocese of
Fort Worth. All members
of our parish are invited and encouraged to join a small Christian
Community to understand and deepen what it means to be Catholic.
This is a great opportunity to "review" and
"renew" our Catholic Faith. It is meant for all parishioners, high
school age and adults of all ages, new to the Catholic Church as
well as those "cradle Catholic" members and everyone in between.
