Texas Flooding Assistance

July 4, 2025

The Archdiocese of San Antonio requests prayers for all those affected by the historic flooding which is occurring in the Hill Country this July 4. We pray especially for those who have died as well as those who are still missing. As the archdiocese mourns together, many are coming forward, including archdiocesan entities and organizations, to assist in relief efforts, as well as the first responders who continue to help the numerous victims of this horrific event.
 
At this time it is unknown how many have been affected by rising water levels along rivers and creeks. It is our prayer that those impacted by the floods will find the strength to rebuild. We pledge to be with the people in these challenging circumstances. Let us answer Christ’s call to love one another.
 
Currently, Archbishop Gustavo García-Siller and Bishop Michael Boulette are in Kerrville. Also, Notre Dame Church there has opened its gym at 929 Main Street to any evacuees seeking shelter from the flooding. In addition, the Catholic Charities Mobile Relief Unit and CEO J. Antonio Fernandez have arrived at Notre Dame to provide food, clothing, hygiene products and water to those in need. More updates will be provided when there is additional information.
