Faculty members from Laredo's Catholic schools recently came together to start the new academic year. This gathering included a special ceremony. The Catholic Diocese of Laredo held an event to mark the beginning of the school year, focusing on faith and purpose.

Catholic school students will return to class on August 10, and the diocese used this occasion to set a tone for the year, with a new bishop participating in the celebration, leading a service at a local high school chapel as one of his initial acts in the role.
