We the people of Our Lady of Sorrows Parish, compelled by our faith in Jesus Christ, strive to be a community centered in the Eucharist and rooted in the Word of God. We commit ourselves to be educated in the truth, promote the dignity of human life and be faithful stewards of God's gifts. Called to holiness, we dedicate ourselves to the ongoing mission of Christ through the celebration of the sacraments, evangelization and service to others. Through charity we endeavor to live the unity prayed for by Jesus: "Father, may they all be one so that the world may believe." John 17:21

We are a parish which is made up of our mother church Our Lady of Sorrows in La Joya and five mission churches, which are spread throughout our community. San Jose in Contreras; San Isidro in Las Nutrias, San Antonio in Sabinal; San Juan in Veguita, San Antonio in Abeytas, With such a wide area we are able to bring Christ's Word to many in our community.

Our Lady of Sorrows Parish would like to invite you to join us each Sunday for Mass. To respond to God's mercy with lives of praise and joyful service. If you are visiting us, we pray that God will bless you abundantly during your time with us. We invite you to make Our Lady of Sorrows your spiritual home.

At Our Lady of Sorrows Parish Church, our mission is to empower individuals and families to grow in their faith and become active members of our community. We strive to love God, love people, and make a difference in the world.
Join us for our weekly services, where we come together to worship, pray, and learn from God's word. Our services are open to everyone, and we welcome you to come as you are.
