CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Catholics from across South Texas gathered Thursday night for the fourth annual State of the Diocese event, held at the Richard Borchard Fairgrounds.
The gathering highlighted key diocesan initiatives in education, vocations, and the ongoing renovation of Corpus Christi Cathedral. Parishioners also learned about new opportunities to get involved in service and community outreach.
Bishop Michael Mulvey encouraged attendees to live their faith beyond the walls of their parishes.
“We’re called to live our faith, not just because we call it ‘practice our faith’—not to just go to church but to be church,” Mulvey said. “We have to change ourselves inside to be who we are called to be and lift ourselves up because we do have a mission.”
Organizers said more than 650 people attended this year’s event — the largest crowd to date — underscoring a growing spirit of unity within the Diocese of Corpus Christi.
