    Hope, Help, and Healing for the Park Cities with Rev. Chris Girata

    This episode of The Bubble Lounge is ad-free out of respect for the families affected by the recent tragedy. However, we encourage you to support the generous sponsors who make this podcast possible: Cambridge Caregivers, Kathy L. Wall State Farm Agency, Mother Modern Plumbing, and SA Oral Surgeons. In this special episode, I’m joined by Reverend Chris Girata, Head Rector of Saint Michael and All Angels, to help our community process the unimaginable loss following the flash floods in Kerrville. With so many of our own Highland Park families affected—and six of our HPISD children tragically gone—we are all feeling heartbroken, helpless, and searching for ways to support one another. Reverend Girata led a prayer service Sunday night that many described as comforting, hopeful, and exactly what their hearts needed. His words offer the kind of light and perspective that so many of us are longing for right now. Whether you’re grieving, trying to help someone who is, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the weight of this tragedy, this conversation is for you. Reverend Girata shares thoughtful ways we can show support, how to talk to our kids, and how faith and community can carry us through the darkest of times. If you're unsure of what to say or do, or just need a moment of peace in the storm, I hope you'll tune in. This episode is a small offering of comfort, connection, and clarity in a moment when we need it most.

From mentoring students and supporting local schools to funding global health efforts and raising money for the North Texas Food Bank, these are the people quietly making a huge difference. We also talk about what it takes to organize one of the largest Independence Day parades in Texas, how the event brings the Park Cities together. Whether you're a longtime resident or new to the neighborhood, this episode will give you a whole new appreciation for the people working behind the scenes to keep our community strong, connected, and thriving.
