One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism.
The Diocese of Tyler 2023 Eucharistic Congress
Bishop Strickland is inviting you to our “family reunion!”
The Diocese of Tyler is hosting the annual Eucharistic Congress. This year our dynamic conference will focus in on the transformative power of Baptism.
Featuring Keynote Speakers:

English Keynote
Bishop Flores

Do you find yourself thinking of Baptism as a “one time event”?
Especially if we were baptized as infants, we may not appreciate the meaning and power of our own Baptism.
Most people don’t understand how Baptism is related to evangelization.
This lack of understanding can cripple our faith and prevent us from helping others reach heaven.
Learn what it means to be a baptized Catholic.
Are you looking for answers for yourself and to help others?
Come hear the biblical roots of baptism and get equipped with answers to common questions.
Do you want a stronger relationship with Christ?
“>Learn how your baptism roots you in Christ, and experience renewal with confession, adoration, and the Mass.
Do you yearn to make meaningful connections?
Meet other Catholics from East Texas who share your faith and are on the same journey as you.
Deep dive into where it all starts for God’s children…Baptism!
