From Biloxi Beach to Forney, Texas: A Peaceful Stop for Saturday Vigil Mass

After enjoying our time along the beautiful shores of Biloxi, we continued west on our cross-country road trip toward Forney. This stretch of the drive gave us a mix of long highway miles, changing scenery, and one especially meaningful stop along the way.

Driving across Louisiana and into Texas always feels like a major milestone on a road trip. The miles seemed to fly by as we crossed state lines and watched the landscape slowly change heading farther west. The Jeep Gladiator continued to handle the long drive comfortably, making it easy to settle into the rhythm of the road.

Our destination for the evening was St. Martin of Tours Catholic Church for Saturday Vigil Mass. After spending most of the day driving, it was nice to slow down and take a break for worship before continuing the journey. The church was beautiful, peaceful, and welcoming, providing a much-needed moment to recharge during a busy travel schedule.

One of the things we have enjoyed most about this road trip has been finding meaningful stops along the way instead of simply rushing from one destination to the next. Taking time for Mass in Forney became one of those memorable moments that helped make the trip feel more personal and grounded.

As the sun began to set over Texas, we left Forney grateful for safe travels, a peaceful evening, and the opportunity to experience another special stop on our adventure across the country.
