On November 1, 2026, the Synod has decided to disband the Catholic Church of Texas and become part of another traditional Catholic group. A few people retired from ministry entirely in pursuit of other careers, most notably Ellie Esch who is working to become a firefighter-paramedic, and Bishop Michael who works as an electrician. 

We all had a great time from the ministry's lifespan of 2018-2026, done many community service, baptised over 200 people, and held over 600 Traditional Latin Mass services. But many good things come to an end, the only endless good is God. 

This is nowhere near a goodbye, as God's Church is eternal.

For those who were baptized here and thus feel lost by the disbanding, your baptism is fully recognized by the Roman Catholic Church and you are welcome there anytime.

May God be with you all

In Christ,

His Eminence

Archbishop John of the Cross
