The experience of recovering from a serious snowboarding accident inspired Evan Taylor to become a pastoral visitor for homebound parishioners.
With “Connections of Faith,” we invite you to follow the story of how the diocesan televised Mass was born, how it grew to meet the needs of the faithful during uncertain times, and how it has evolved into its own homebound ministry to continue to serve the people of the Diocese of Dallas and beyond.
The Sunday televised Masses began as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, but have evolved into a ministry aimed at helping reconnect the countless elderly, ailing and homebound Catholics in the Diocese of Dallas to their faith community.
Ministering to the homebound has been a priority of Bishop Edward J. Burns, who witnessed the growing need for such a ministry with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the creation of the weekly diocesan televised Masses.
