Hunger is a major affliction in the Rio Grande Valley, as in many parts of the country. Families, children and the elderly are affected. Those elected in November should work together and with local communities to address it. It doesn’t have to be this way.
I had the privilege to speak at the Vote to End Hunger Event alongside Bishop Flores, Sister Pimentel, and fellow community and faith leaders. I appreciate the opportunity to be part of this important conversation as we continue working toward a stronger community for all.

Yesterday, Archbishop Paul Coakley (@ArchbishopOKC), USCCB president, and Bishop Daniel Flores (@bpdflores), USCCB vice president, met with Pope Leo XIV. They were joined by Msgr. Michael J.K. Fuller, USCCB general secretary, and Father Paul Hartmann, Associate General Secretary. Their meeting was part of the Conference’s annual visit made to the Curia offices. The USCCB is grateful for the opportunities that our bishops have to spend time with our Holy Father and assure him of our support and prayers, while also updating him on the Church in the United States.
