The Cisco Livestock Show was held on January 6, 2023, at the Cisco ISD Project Center. Tom Farmer, vocational agriculture teacher from Eula, judged the show. The Cisco Livestock Show Association distributed almost $2,600 in prize money to the show exhibitors. Numerous individuals and businesses also contributed banners and travel bags to champions, reserve champions, and showmanship contest winners. The stock show would not have been possible without the hard work of the exhibitors, their parents, and school officials. The Association appreciates the tireless efforts of our local vocational agriculture teachers, Ginger Holton and Jerry Conring, in putting on the stock show and supporting the local FFA chapter members in their many endeavors.

Saint Francis of Assisi has been quoted as saying “Start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible”. The impossible for Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Catholic Church became a reality with the Inauguration and Blessing of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Hall, our newly constructed Parish Hall/Activity Center at 1100 Avenue F in Cisco, on Saturday, October 7, 2023. This new construction began with a Groundbreaking Ceremony on Saturday, November 19, 2022. On that day, each parishioner received several mustard seeds, and everyone “planted” their mustard seeds in the “groundbreaking hole”. In this way, we acknowledged the parable of the mustard seed, when Christ said “It is the smallest of all the seeds, yet when full-grown it is the largest of plants. It becomes a large bush, and the birds of the sky come and dwell in its branches” (Matthew 13:32). Like the mustard seed, our increasing and expanding Christian faith grows and strengthens from small beginnings, helping us cult undertakings – like building a new Parish Hall and creating a new place of fellowship with increased opportunities to serve God in holiness and joy.
