    COMMUNICATONS
    • The Office of Diocesan Relations collaborates with all ministries in the diocese to communicate the work of the Church to the faithful in the Rio Grande Valley and in the community. The office publishes a weekly electronic news bulletin - Weekly Update, and an annual Year in Review; manages the news component of the diocesan website; and serves as the official news and public information liaison between the Diocese of Brownsville and the news media. Our team offers assistance to parishes, schools and Catholic entities with communications planning and public relations, as a way of building the kingdom of Jesus Christ in the Rio Grande Valley.

      The Basilica of Our Lady of San Juan del Valle-National Shrine was nearly full for the 7 p.m. Mass on Palm Sunday Paul Binz/The Valley Catholic /photoalbums/latest-news/DSC_6931a.jpg _parent
      Construction workers set a steel roof beam in place on the twin candle rooms taking shape on the north side of the Basilica of Our Lady of San Juan del Valle-National Shrine on Monday, April 11. Paul Binz/The Valley Catholic /photoalbums/latest-news/DSC_7138.jpg _parent
      During peak times, visitors to the Basilica may bring as many as 13,000 candles a week to the shrine -- more than the current candle room inside the Basilica can accommodate. The new candle rooms are expected to be ready by this summer. Paul Binz/The Valley Catholic /photoalbums/latest-news/DSC_7162.jpg _parent
