Rural Mass In Dalhart Sunday, June 26

June 11, 2022

Amarillo—Bishop Patrick J. Zurek will be celebrating the second of two Rural Masses this month on Sunday, June 26, according to Father Jim Schmitmeyer, director of Rural Life Ministries in the Diocese of Amarillo.

“We encourage everyone to cultivate rural Catholic culture with Bishop Zurek this summer by attending this special Mass on the plains of West Texas,” said Father Schmitmeyer. “Close-knit communities and working in harmony with God’s Creation is part of our Catholic legacy. There is something unique about ‘country living’ that fosters generosity and gratitude in people who live close to the land.”

The Mass will be celebrated at 4:00pm at the Lanny and Rita Bezner Farm, 12501 Nicholes Road in Dalhart.

Following the Mass, a light meal will be served. There will also be complimentary prayer pamphlets available for Our Lady of Gentle Rain, St. Isidore the Farmer and Blessed Stanley Rother, farmer, priest and martyr.
