insights and reflections from
father josephAmidst our preparations for Christmas and our preparations to meet the Lord when He comes again in glory, the Church recalls joy. For those who love the Lord, our expectations are not of dire circumstances, but of joyful reunion. The joyful hope of Christmas is first of all an encounter with the Lord Himself, but also the reception of the many blessings which God desires to give us, as well as the recounting of blessings received. As it is said in the book of Nehemiah: Rejoicing in the LORD is your strength!.
Father Joseph

Pre-Baptismal Classes-2026The next English and Spanish classes will take place on January 8, 2026, at 7 p.m. Registration is required. Please don't hesitate to contact Diane Salazar in the Family Life office at 972-279-6581, extension 107, or email her at DianeS@stmichaelgarland.org.
Pre-Baptismal classes are designed to help parents and godparents understand their important roles in the baptism of their children. They will learn about the importance of the sacrament and how to guide their children through a lifelong relationship with God and the Catholic Church. We believe that through these classes, parents and godparents will be able to understand their responsibility in the spiritual formation of their children. We encourage everyone to take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about the Catholic faith and to become better prepared for the baptism of their children.
Classes are scheduled for the second Thursday of each month.
There are no baptisms scheduled in December
If your child is older than 6 years, contact Casey Hennigan-Williams at 972-279-6581 extension 108, or Georgina Salinas, extension 109. -

Diocesan SynodThe Diocese of Dallas continues its preparations for the Dallas Synod this year. Bishop Burns has asked that Catholics in the diocese pray for the successor of the synod and the growth of the Catholic faith in our diocese.
The pastoral plan will conclude on December 12, 2031, with a large Mass to celebrate the 500th anniversary of our Lady of Guadalupe’s appearance in San Juan Diego and the conclusion of this decade-long journey of faith and revitalization.
Our Lady of Guadalupe… Pray for us.
