On November 18, 2023 at 10:30a the Diocese of Austin will host a closing ceremony at St. Williams Parish in Round Rock, Texas. A reception will follow the Holy Mass.
The chosen theme for our 75th Anniversary has been “That they may all be one” (Jn 17:21) which is also the theme for our Eucharistic Revival. Bishop Vásquez prays we journey together during this time growing in love of the eucharist and care for one another. -

75th Anniversary Prayer
Almighty and ever living God, as we celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Diocese of Austin, we give thanks for your generous providence that has sustained this local church.
Through the grace of the Holy Spirit, continue to inspire us to live out our baptismal call to holiness and charity for one another in our cities, towns, and rural communities.
Inspire our state and local governments to see the world through the lens of the Gospel. Cultivate a deep desire for wisdom and holiness in our Catholic schools and university centers. Give courage and generosity to our Catholic hospitals, Catholic Charities, and all ministries that serve those in need among us.
Bless our priests, deacons, consecrated men and women, and lay faithful that,
as the Mystical Body of Christ, we may always be one in you.
We ask the intercession of Mary, under her title of the Immaculate Conception, to keep us faithful to you and the mission you have bestowed upon the Diocese of Austin. Amen.
