Archbishop of San Antonio publishes weekly message

Archbishop Gustavo García-Siller, M.Sp.S., released a weekly message on October 2, 2026, encouraging parishioners to accompany young people in their faith.

The Archbishop urged believers to intentionally listen to and encourage one young person by sharing their own friendship with Jesus. He noted that many young men and women face uncertain futures and lack a personal encounter with the Lord. García-Siller suggested that instead of seeking a perfect plan, youth need a living friendship with Jesus to find wisdom and love.

In his message, the Archbishop cited Pope Leo XIV, who stated that an encounter with Jesus Christ brings joy and the strength to witness to God's mercy. García-Siller concluded by asking Our Lady of Guadalupe to teach the faithful to walk joyfully toward her Son.
