Our Decisions Shape Our Life

By Most Rev. James A. Tamayo, D.D.

Coat of Arms
                                                                                Summer vacation is over and just about everyone is in back to school mode.

And with the start of a new academic year, parents or guardians of students throughout our area and at every grade level are filling-out forms, reading guidelines and signing agreements.

Most of these guidelines address appropriate school attire and school behavior. Everyday, our children bear the great responsibility of making wise decisions. 

Similarly, parents and guardians provide guidance to make the right choice and to help them understand the consequences, especially with the younger children who lack the wisdom to know otherwise.  

Just as parents, guardians, teachers and administrators expect students to be on their best behavior, we are also reminded that living as a follower of Jesus Christ also calls us to choose our words and our actions wisely.  More


By heraldic tradition, the arms of the bishop or "ordinary" of a diocese are joined to the arms of his jurisdiction, seen in the left side of the shield.

The Coat of Arms of the Diocese of Laredo captures the rich history of the Church in South Texas. The colors and symbols represent a diocese that treasures its history and looks joyfully to its future.
