The Rt. Rev. Dr. David G. Read, D.D., Bishop of West Texas, sat down to discuss his vision for the Diocese of West Texas.

“God is at work among us and in us and through us, and the Holy Spirit is moving mightily among us.”

Bishop’s Message

We are pleased to be launching our first edition of this publication. Coinciding with a time in which we commemorate our 150th anniversary, la Ventana was designed to incorporate elements that honor our history and traditions, and also introduce new features as the diocese enters a new era.
