2026 Catholic Services Appeal

At St. Mary’s Parish, we joyfully join parishes across the Diocese of Austin in supporting our shepherd, Bishop Daniel E. Garcia, through the Catholic Services Appeal (CSA).

This year’s Catholic Services Appeal theme, Together, we are one, is rooted in the witness of the early Church: “The community of believers was of one heart and mind…” (Acts 4:32). United in Christ, we share responsibility for the mission entrusted to us across the Diocese of Austin.

Your CSA gift supports men discerning vocations to the priesthood and diaconate, priests currently serving, and retired priests. Your gift helps to sustain Catholic schools, religious education, ministerial formation, and initiatives for life, peace, and justice. Your donations are carefully spent; it is money for God’s work, and we use it accordingly. Your contributions are deeply appreciated, very much needed, and make a real difference in the lives of many.  Please prayerfully consider making your commitment during CSA Weekend, October 24–25.

“Why Black Catholic Musicians Should Study Gregorian Chant”

Our very own, Dr. Darrell St. Romain recently published this article in the Black Catholic Messenger. In it he reflects on his experience of developing a greater appreciation for Gregorian Chant this summer and how it can enrich his experience and work as a Black Catholic Musician. We are grateful for Dr. St. Romain’s work here at St. Mary’s and the richness he brings to our community.

Listen to Fr. Will’s Homily from last week about the amazing things happening at St. Mary’s and learn how you can help.
