This week, the Knights of Columbus in Cuero, Texas joined Catholics around the world in celebrating the 70th birthday of His Holiness, Pope Leo XIV. In a spirit of gratitude and prayer, local Knights offered thanks for the pope’s unwavering leadership, his witness to the Gospel, and his fatherly care for the global Church.
The Cuero council—part of the Catholic community serving Cuero, Meyersville, and Westhoff—has long upheld the values of faith, charity, and fraternity. On this special occasion, members gathered in quiet reflection, lifting prayers for the Holy Father’s health, strength, and continued guidance by the Holy Spirit.
“St. Peter, pray for him. Mary, Mother of the Church, intercede for him,” read a message shared by the Knights, echoing the deep reverence felt across DeWitt County.
Though the celebration was global, the sentiment was deeply local. In small towns like Cuero, where faith and fellowship remain cornerstones of community life, the pope’s birthday is more than a milestone—it’s a reminder of the spiritual ties that bind believers across borders and generations.
