The diocesan Department of Communications strives to connect individuals to the life and activates of the diocese, to communicate essential information for full engagement with diocesan ministries, and to provide support to diocesan ministries and congregational communications.
Welcome to Advent: Stories of Movement and Migration. This study was created by the Christian Formation, Latino + Immigration, and Small Church Ministries of the Diocese of West Texas. Below you will find all the resources you need to listen to the podcast episodes and discuss this series with your congregation or study group.
Each episode is 30-40 minutes long and includes scripture, story, and theological reflection. If you have any questions about these resources or are looking for additional Advent materials please email Suzanna Green, Director of Christian Formation at formation@dwtx.org.
Happenings are spiritual renewal weekends for older high school students, led by their peers. Any student in the 10th grade through 12th grade can attend. A small number of adults may also attend. Weekends tend to fill quickly, so don't delay! You will receive detailed information about the weekend via email after you register. Each Happening begins Friday evening at 7:00 p.m. sharp, and wraps up around 4:00 p.m. on Sunday. It is a lock-in, so prepare to stay the entire weekend.
Registration for first-time Happeners will be limited. A waiting list will be closely monitored, as usual, to make sure that if anyone becomes unable to attend the next person in line is invited to register.
The registration cost is $60, and a deposit must be paid to confirm your registration. Scholarships are available.
Please email the Happening Advisory Board Chair, at dwtxhappening@gmail.com, for scholarship information or other questions.
