“We want to pray for those who have been affected. We come together around the altar of God to give him thanks and praise,” Bishop Curtis Guillory, SVD, said  celebrating a Mass of Thanksgiving at St. Elizabeth Church in Port Neches Dec. 1.

St. Elizabeth’s Education Building was one of the many buildings affected by an an early-morning explosion at the TPC Group plant in Port Neches Nov. 27 that rocked much of Southeast Texas.

Residents of Port Neches, Groves, Nederland and a part of Port Arthur were told to evacuate Nov. 27 following a second explosion at the plant. That evacuation order was lifted Nov. 29.
