Update from the Diocese of Austin Director of Communications.
We have been notified by several parishes of an active texting scam targeting pastors and parishioners. In the fraudulent texts, the pastor, mentioned by name, asks for donations of gift cards. Please be aware that this is a scam and do not respond. The Diocese of Austin and our priests will not solicit donations in this way.
Sincerely,
Christian R. González
Director of Communications

Faith Journey
We have started a new study "Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible." This study will show how we can read the Bible and actually understand it, from the story of Adam and Eve to Christ and the Church. Using a unique Bible Timeline TM Chart that arranges the key people, places, and events in chronological order, this study will help us discover the story of salvation history and understand how we fit into God's plan. There is no cost unless you want to purchase the workbook for $24.95 but it is optional. We meet every Sunday morning after the 8:30 mass in the Anne & Joachim Hall and end in time for those attending the 11:00 mass. So get a plate from the Breakfast Café and bring it over and join us as we eat and listen to the video presentation by Jeff Cavins.
