Father Abel Ruiz

Last week, the bishops of Texas requested that all Catholic parishes in the state hold a Holy Hour for those impacted by Hurricane Harvey on Sept. 7, at 7 p.m., and that church bells be rung at the start of the prayer service. Archbishop Gustavo García-Siller, MSpS, attended the Holy Hour held at St. Matthew Church, where he also urged prayers for the victims of Hurricane Irma. The service was led by Father Abel Ruiz, parochial vicar, who was assisted by Deacon Tom Fox.
