Texas–Lyon Delegation Visits Houston and Dallas

In June 2026, representatives of the Texas–Lyon initiative traveled to Houston, Dallas, and Irving to meet with Catholic, cultural, philanthropic, healthcare, and educational leaders connected to the shared history between Texas and Lyon.

The visit included conversations with partners across the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, CHRISTUS Health, the University of St. Thomas, Catholic heritage organizations, and French-American cultural leaders. These meetings helped strengthen the foundation for future collaboration, donor engagement, and public programming around the enduring ties between Texas and Lyon.
