HOUSTON - Daniel Cardinal DiNardo presided over the 2024 Opening Schools Mass on Aug. 9 to bless teachers, principals and administrators at the Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart in downtown Houston for the largest private school system in Texas.
New Archdiocesan school superintendent Mazie McCoy, Ed.D. with more than 20 years in Catholic education including as principal and assistant superintendent, is succeeding Debra Haney, Ed.D., who retired at the end of June.
This year's theme will be, "Pray Without Ceasing" in support of the Pope's Year of Prayer with a focus on mission. The Apostle Paul affirmed the significance of prayer, and wrote in one of his epistles, “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).
