El Departamento de Comunicaciones diocesano se esfuerza por conectar a las personas con la vida y las actividades de la diócesis, por comunicar información esencial para una plena participación en los ministerios diocesanos y por brindar apoyo a los ministerios diocesanos y las comunicaciones congregacionales.
54.º Retiro Anual Diocesano en Silencio
Desde 1972, la Sociedad de Retiros de la Diócesis de Texas Occidental organiza cada año un retiro en silencio para hombres y mujeres. Este retiro anual es el ministerio no parroquial más antiguo de la diócesis y el único retiro diocesano en el que el silencio es la principal práctica espiritual.
El retiro de 2025 se celebrará en el Centro de Conferencias Mustang Island, en Port Aransas, del 13 al 16 de noviembre, y el director del retiro será el reverendo Rich Nelson, de St. Peter's, Kerrville.
El reverendo Nelson es sacerdote episcopal, escritor, director espiritual y conferenciante. Actualmente es el director fundador de The Community of Saints Francis and Clare, una comunidad de discipulado intencional para personas de entre 20 y 30 años que viven una vida de oración, estudio y servicio, ubicada en la iglesia episcopal de St. Peter's, en Kerrville, Texas. Para más información, visite www.revrichnelson.com.

Los eventos son fines de semana de renovación espiritual para estudiantes mayores de secundaria, dirigidos por sus compañeros. Puede asistir cualquier estudiante que esté entre el décimo y el duodécimo grado. También puede asistir un pequeño número de adultos. Los fines de semana tienden a llenarse rápidamente, ¡así que no se demore! Recibirás información detallada sobre el fin de semana por correo electrónico después de registrarte. Cada evento comienza el viernes por la noche a las 7:00 p.m. en punto y termina alrededor de las 4:00 p.m. del domingo. Está cerrado, así que prepárate para quedarte todo el fin de semana.
La inscripción para los Happeners primerizos será limitada. Como de costumbre, se supervisará de cerca la lista de espera para asegurarnos de que, si alguien no puede asistir, se invite a la siguiente persona en la fila a registrarse.
El costo de registro es de 60 USD y se debe pagar un depósito para confirmar su registro. Hay becas disponibles.
Envíe un correo electrónico al presidente de la junta asesora de Happening, a dwtxhappening@gmail.com, para obtener información sobre becas u otras preguntas.
