On Thursday, July 22, 2023, the local courts of the Catholic Daughters of the Americas hosted an appreciation luncheon for all priests who serve in the Diocese of Laredo. All who attended the luncheon, held at La Posada, enjoyed the meal and fellowship! Below are photos from the event.
A few days ago, we commemorated the one-year anniversary since the historic overturning of Roe v. Wade, a decision that has significantly shaped the pro-life movement and our tireless efforts to defend the sanctity of every human life. This moment calls for both reflection and renewed dedication to the cause we hold dear.
