On Friday, May 9 at 7:30 pm, internationally known concert organist Jonathan Ryan will present the final inaugural concert for the 2024-2025 season featuring the restored and expanded Schudi-Casavant pipe organ!
The program includes music by J.S. Bach, Duruflé, Franck, De Grigny, Guilmant, Wammes, and features the premiere of a new organ composition by Canadian composer Sarah MacDonald based on the chant ‘Jesu Dulcis Memoria.’ This new piece of music was commissioned by St. Thomas Aquinas to commemorate the reinstallation of the Schudi-Casavant pipe organ.
The death of a Pope marks the beginning of a series of events that lead to the eventual start of a conclave and election of a new Successor of St. Peter. We lay out in detail the events that lead to the election of a new Pope.
In celebration of Pope Francis’ life and legacy, Bishop Edward J. Burns will be leading a multilingual rosary on Monday, April 28 at 6:30 p.m., followed by a Memorial Mass at 7:00 p.m. celebrated at the National Shrine Cathedral of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Dallas.
Prior to the Memorial Mass, the cathedral bells will toll five minutes and again for another five minutes after the Mass, as a sign of reverence and remembrance.
The faithful are invited to attend this evening of prayer and unity.
Statement by bishop edward j. burns on the election of our new holy father, pope leo xiv
With great joy and deep gratitude to God, I join my brother priests, deacons, religious, and all the faithful of the Diocese of Dallas — and indeed the whole world — in celebrating the election of our new Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV. This is a moment of profound hope and renewal for the Church, as Our Lord has provided a new shepherd to guide us in faith, truth, and charity.
What a surprise to learn that a young country like the United States of America would bring forth one of her own sons to become the shepherd of the Universal Church. This is a historic moment for the Catholic Church in the United States and throughout the world.
We embrace our new Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, with open hearts and steadfast prayers. As he begins his Petrine ministry in leading the Church through these challenging times, he will have our unwavering prayers and support. We are grateful that Our Lord has given us a shepherd in the line of St. Peter, to whom the Savior said: “Peter, you are rock, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the jaws of death shall not prevail against it.” (Mt 16:18)
I invite everyone to pray that the Lord will grant our new Holy Father a spirit of courage, compassion, and love. May the Holy Spirit fill him with wisdom and strength, so that he may serve with joy and bear witness to the hope, mercy, and peace that only Christ can offer.
As we enter this new chapter in the life of the Church, let us walk together with renewed faith, trusting always in the Lord who is ever faithful.
May God bless our Holy Father, and may Mary, Mother of the Church, intercede for him as he begins his pontificate.
