We ask you to bless our efforts to provide the resources to continue our service to your people at St. Paul the Apostle. Help us to promote the mission of our parish that the Church may grow and flourish in the beautiful Hill Country of Texas.

We also thank Catherine and James Court for pitching in after the 10:30 Mass and helping with the clean up. And a big thank you to K.K. Rice for the wonderful centerpiece she made for the First Communion Kids. They got a big kick out of their names on the stars that they were able to take home.

Rice, Mary Kay Otto and Josie Quinlan for managing the socials after Father Bruce’s presentations; and to Frank Trogus, for lending his guitar. It was a great event – Come, Holy Spirit!

Highland Lakes Pregnancy Resource Center
Catholic Life Insurance Hill Country Branch #65 and the Highland Lakes Pregnancy Resource Center of Kingsland are "Joining Hands” and co-sponsoring a fundraiser at all of the Masses on the weekends of May 19 & 20, and 
26 & 27. The Center exists to promote the sanctity of life and empower individuals to make Christ-centered choices regarding pregnancy and sexuality and to extend the healing presence and love of Jesus Christ. 
"Join Hands Day" is a National Day of Service that brings together youth and adults working for the well-being of the community. We appreciate your prayers and support for the center and its volunteers. To raise funds, baby bottles are available in the entryways of the church. You may drop your donations in the large baby bottle, or take a small baby bottle home. The deadline to return these bottles to St. Paul’s is Sunday, June 10.

Capital Campaign Donations
If you have not yet completed your pledge payments, or if you would like to make a contribution to our Parish Capital Campaign, please note that all donations received prior to June 30, 2012, are not subject to the Diocesan assessment (Cathedraticum). Monies received after June 30 will be included in our annual total revenue, which is subject to the Diocesan 10% tax.

Farewell
St. Paul’s Parish bids a fond farewell to Maggie & Jim Palmer, who are moving to the Killeen area to be closer to their children and grandchildren. Jim has been an usher for many years, and Maggie has served on our Pastoral Council for five years as the chair of Liturgical Ministries. She has been in charge of recruiting and training liturgical ministers for the benefit of all of us who attend Mass. She also had the duty of setting up the ministry schedules every two months. Thanks to both for sharing their time and talents! We already have someone to take Maggie’s place on Council. Esther Ellis has graciously volunteered to take on the duties of Liturgical Ministry chair. Welcome, Esther – we appreciate your spirit of giving! Esther and her husband, Jeff, are lectors at the 5:30 Mass.

Folding Divider Available
While volunteers (led by Justin Bochat) were cleaning out the garage, they found an expandable folding wall on wheels that had been used to divide the Social Hall for CCD classes in the past. If you are aware of any organization that we could donate this divider to, please contact Gayle in the office (598-8342) or Justin Bochat (598-4932).

Farewell
St. Paul’s Parish bids a fond farewell to Maggie & Jim Palmer, who are moving to the Killeen area to be closer to their children and grandchildren. Jim has been an usher for many years, and Maggie has served on our Pastoral Council for five years as the chair of Liturgical Ministries. She has been in charge of recruiting and training liturgical ministers for the benefit of all of us who attend Mass. She also had the duty of setting up the ministry schedules every two months. Thanks to both for sharing their time and talents! We will miss them and hope they are able to come back and visit. We already have someone to take Maggie’s place on Council. Esther Ellis has graciously volunteered to take on the duties of Liturgical Ministry chair. Welcome, Esther – we appreciate your spirit of giving! Esther and her husband, Jeff, are lectors at the 5:30 Mass.
 
Happy Anniversary!
Our parish would like to wish a very happy anniversary to Al & ‘Hank’ Remack, who will celebrate their 52nd wedding anniversary on May 14, to Robert & Debbie Goodall, who will celebrate their 2nd wedding anniversary on May 15, and to Bill & Mary Ann Steffek, who will celebrate their 52nd wedding anniversary on May 22. 
We also congratulate our pastor, Father Rubén Patiño, who will celebrate the 33rd anniversary of his ordination on May 19. May God bless you all!

Congratulations
This Saturday, May 12, Father Rubén baptized Arch Henry Woodard. Arch is the infant son of Ben & Alyson Woodard, and the grandson of parishioners Craig & Claudia Haydon.

Farewell
St. Paul’s Parish bids a fond farewell to Maggie & Jim Palmer, who are moving to the Killeen area to be closer to their children and grandchildren. Jim has been an usher for many years, and Maggie has served on our Pastoral Council for five years as the chair of Liturgical Ministries. She has been in charge of recruiting and training liturgical ministers for the benefit of all of us who attend Mass. She also had the duty of setting up the ministry schedules every two months. Thanks to both for sharing their time and talents! We already have someone to take Maggie’s place on Council. Esther Ellis has graciously volunteered to take on the duties of Liturgical Ministry chair. Welcome, Esther – we appreciate your spirit of giving! Esther and her husband, Jeff, are lectors at the 5:30 Mass.

Rice, Mary Kay Otto and Josie Quinlan for managing the socials after Father Bruce’s presentations; and to Frank Trogus, for lending his guitar. It was a great event – Come, Holy Spirit!

We ask you to bless our efforts to provide the resources to continue our service to your people at St. Paul the Apostle. Help us to promote the mission of our parish that the Church may grow and flourish in the beautiful Hill Country of Texas.

We also thank Catherine and James Court for pitching in after the 10:30 Mass and helping with the clean up. And a big thank you to K.K.

Highland Lakes Pregnancy Resource Center
Catholic Life Insurance Hill Country Branch #65 and the Highland Lakes Pregnancy Resource Center of Kingsland are "Joining Hands” and co-sponsoring a fundraiser at all of the Masses on the weekends of May 19 & 20, and 
26 & 27. The Center exists to promote the sanctity of life and empower individuals to make Christ-centered choices regarding pregnancy and sexuality and to extend the healing presence and love of Jesus Christ. 
"Join Hands Day" is a National Day of Service that brings together youth and adults working for the well-being of the community. We appreciate your prayers and support for the center and its volunteers. To raise funds, baby bottles are available in the entryways of the church. You may drop your donations in the large baby bottle, or take a small baby bottle home. The deadline to return these bottles to St. Paul’s is Sunday, June 10.

Capital Campaign Donations
If you have not yet completed your pledge payments, or if you would like to make a contribution to our Parish Capital Campaign, please note that all donations received prior to June 30, 2012, are not subject to the Diocesan assessment (Cathedraticum). Monies received after June 30 will be included in our annual total revenue, which is subject to the Diocesan 10% tax.

Farewell
St. Paul’s Parish bids a fond farewell to Maggie & Jim Palmer, who are moving to the Killeen area to be closer to their children and grandchildren. Jim has been an usher for many years, and Maggie has served on our Pastoral Council for five years as the chair of Liturgical Ministries. She has been in charge of recruiting and training liturgical ministers for the benefit of all of us who attend Mass. She also had the duty of setting up the ministry schedules every two months. Thanks to both for sharing their time and talents! We already have someone to take Maggie’s place on Council. Esther Ellis has graciously volunteered to take on the duties of Liturgical Ministry chair. Welcome, Esther – we appreciate your spirit of giving! Esther and her husband, Jeff, are lectors at the 5:30 Mass.

Folding Divider Available
While volunteers (led by Justin Bochat) were cleaning out the garage, they found an expandable folding wall on wheels that had been used to divide the Social Hall for CCD classes in the past. If you are aware of any organization that we could donate this divider to, please contact Gayle in the office (598-8342) or Justin Bochat (598-4932).

Farewell

She has been in charge of recruiting and training liturgical ministers for the benefit of all of us who attend Mass. She also had the duty of setting up the ministry schedules every two months. Thanks to both for sharing their time and talents! We will miss them and hope they are able to come back and visit. We already have someone to take Maggie’s place on Council. Esther Ellis has graciously volunteered to take on the duties of Liturgical Ministry chair. Welcome, Esther – we appreciate your spirit of giving! Esther and her husband, Jeff, are lectors at the 5:30 Mass.

We also thank Catherine and James Court for pitching in after the 10:30 Mass and helping with the clean up. And a big thank you to K.K. Rice for the wonderful centerpiece she made for the First Communion Kids. They got a big kick out of their names on the stars that they were able to take home.

Rice, Mary Kay Otto and Josie Quinlan for managing the socials after Father Bruce’s presentations; and to Frank Trogus, for lending his guitar. It was a great event – Come, Holy Spirit!

Highland Lakes Pregnancy Resource Center
Catholic Life Insurance Hill Country Branch #65 and the Highland Lakes Pregnancy Resource Center of Kingsland are "Joining Hands” and co-sponsoring a fundraiser at all of the Masses on the weekends of May 19 & 20, and 
26 & 27. The Center exists to promote the sanctity of life and empower individuals to make Christ-centered choices regarding pregnancy and sexuality and to extend the healing presence and love of Jesus Christ. 
"Join Hands Day" is a National Day of Service that brings together youth and adults working for the well-being of the community. We appreciate your prayers and support for the center and its volunteers. To raise funds, baby bottles are available in the entryways of the church. You may drop your donations in the large baby bottle, or take a small baby bottle home. The deadline to return these bottles to St. Paul’s is Sunday, June 10.

Farewell
St. Paul’s Parish bids a fond farewell to Maggie & Jim Palmer, who are moving to the Killeen area to be closer to their children and grandchildren. Jim has been an usher for many years, and Maggie has served on our Pastoral Council for five years as the chair of Liturgical Ministries. She has been in charge of recruiting and training liturgical ministers for the benefit of all of us who attend Mass. She also had the duty of setting up the ministry schedules every two months. Thanks to both for sharing their time and talents! We already have someone to take Maggie’s place on Council. Esther Ellis has graciously volunteered to take on the duties of Liturgical Ministry chair. Welcome, Esther – we appreciate your spirit of giving! Esther and her husband, Jeff, are lectors at the 5:30 Mass.

If you are aware of any organization that we could donate this divider to, please contact Gayle in the office (598-8342) or Justin Bochat (598-4932).

We also thank Catherine and James Court for pitching in after the 10:30 Mass and helping with the clean up. And a big thank you to K.K.

Prayer for our Capital Campaign
Loving God, we praise and thank you for your constant care. You are our guide and our Shepherd. We ask you to bless our efforts to provide the resources to continue our service to your people at St. Paul the Apostle. Help us to promote the mission of our parish that the Church may grow and flourish in the beautiful Hill Country of Texas.  May we persevere with the hope fostered and modeled by our patron saint Paul who said: “I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me.” So we pray in your name. Amen.

She has been in charge of recruiting and training liturgical ministers for the benefit of all of us who attend Mass. She also had the duty of setting up the ministry schedules every two months. Thanks to both for sharing their time and talents! We will miss them and hope they are able to come back and visit. We already have someone to take Maggie’s place on Council. Esther Ellis has graciously volunteered to take on the duties of Liturgical Ministry chair. Welcome, Esther – we appreciate your spirit of giving! Esther and her husband, Jeff, are lectors at the 5:30 Mass.

We also congratulate our pastor, Father Rubén Patiño, who will celebrate the 33rd anniversary of his ordination on May 19. May God bless you all!

Help us to promote the mission of our parish that the Church may grow and flourish in the beautiful Hill Country of Texas.

You may drop your donations in the large baby bottle, or take a small baby bottle home. The deadline to return these bottles to St. Paul’s is Sunday, June 10.

Capital Campaign Donations
If you have not yet completed your pledge payments, or if you would like to make a contribution to our Parish Capital Campaign, please note that all donations received prior to June 30, 2012, are not subject to the Diocesan assessment (Cathedraticum). Monies received after June 30 will be included in our annual total revenue, which is subject to the Diocesan 10% tax.

Farewell
St. Paul’s Parish bids a fond farewell to Maggie & Jim Palmer, who are moving to the Killeen area to be closer to their children and grandchildren. Jim has been an usher for many years, and Maggie has served on our Pastoral Council for five years as the chair of Liturgical Ministries. She has been in charge of recruiting and training liturgical ministers for the benefit of all of us who attend Mass. She also had the duty of setting up the ministry schedules every two months. Thanks to both for sharing their time and talents! We already have someone to take Maggie’s place on Council. Esther Ellis has graciously volunteered to take on the duties of Liturgical Ministry chair. Welcome, Esther – we appreciate your spirit of giving! Esther and her husband, Jeff, are lectors at the 5:30 Mass.

Folding Divider Available
While volunteers (led by Justin Bochat) were cleaning out the garage, they found an expandable folding wall on wheels that had been used to divide the Social Hall for CCD classes in the past. If you are aware of any organization that we could donate this divider to, please contact Gayle in the office (598-8342) or Justin Bochat (598-4932).

Help us to promote the mission of our parish that the Church may grow and flourish in the beautiful Hill Country of Texas.

Thank You!
	On behalf of the parish, our Social Activities co-chair, Mary Kay Otto, would like to thank Marie D'Arcy and Francie Dix for helping out at the Sunday Social on May 6. We also thank Catherine and James Court for pitching in after the 10:30 Mass and helping with the clean up. And a big thank you to K.K. Rice for the wonderful centerpiece she made for the First Communion Kids. They got a big kick out of their names on the stars that they were able to take home.
	We also owe a debt of gratitude for our Parish Mission. Thanks to all who attended; a special thanks to Francie Dix, who provided the music all three nights; to K.K. Rice, Mary Kay Otto and Josie Quinlan for managing the socials after Father Bruce’s presentations; and to Frank Trogus, for lending his guitar. It was a great event – Come, Holy Spirit!

Highland Lakes Pregnancy Resource Center
Catholic Life Insurance Hill Country Branch #65 and the Highland Lakes Pregnancy Resource Center of Kingsland are "Joining Hands” and co-sponsoring a fundraiser at all of the Masses on the weekends of May 19 & 20, and 
26 & 27. The Center exists to promote the sanctity of life and empower individuals to make Christ-centered choices regarding pregnancy and sexuality and to extend the healing presence and love of Jesus Christ. 
"Join Hands Day" is a National Day of Service that brings together youth and adults working for the well-being of the community. We appreciate your prayers and support for the center and its volunteers. To raise funds, baby bottles are available in the entryways of the church. You may drop your donations in the large baby bottle, or take a small baby bottle home. The deadline to return these bottles to St. Paul’s is Sunday, June 10.

Capital Campaign Donations
If you have not yet completed your pledge payments, or if you would like to make a contribution to our Parish Capital Campaign, please note that all donations received prior to June 30, 2012, are not subject to the Diocesan assessment (Cathedraticum). Monies received after June 30 will be included in our annual total revenue, which is subject to the Diocesan 10% tax.

Farewell
St. Paul’s Parish bids a fond farewell to Maggie & Jim Palmer, who are moving to the Killeen area to be closer to their children and grandchildren. Jim has been an usher for many years, and Maggie has served on our Pastoral Council for five years as the chair of Liturgical Ministries. She has been in charge of recruiting and training liturgical ministers for the benefit of all of us who attend Mass. She also had the duty of setting up the ministry schedules every two months. Thanks to both for sharing their time and talents! We already have someone to take Maggie’s place on Council. Esther Ellis has graciously volunteered to take on the duties of Liturgical Ministry chair. Welcome, Esther – we appreciate your spirit of giving! Esther and her husband, Jeff, are lectors at the 5:30 Mass.

Folding Divider Available
While volunteers (led by Justin Bochat) were cleaning out the garage, they found an expandable folding wall on wheels that had been used to divide the Social Hall for CCD classes in the past. If you are aware of any organization that we could donate this divider to, please contact Gayle in the office (598-8342) or Justin Bochat (598-4932).

Prayer for our Capital Campaign
Loving God, we praise and thank you for your constant care. You are our guide and our Shepherd. We ask you to bless our efforts to provide the resources to continue our service to your people at St. Paul the Apostle. Help us to promote the mission of our parish that the Church may grow and flourish in the beautiful Hill Country of Texas.  May we persevere with the hope fostered and modeled by our patron saint Paul who said: “I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me.” So we pray in your name. Amen.

She has been in charge of recruiting and training liturgical ministers for the benefit of all of us who attend Mass. She also had the duty of setting up the ministry schedules every two months. Thanks to both for sharing their time and talents! We will miss them and hope they are able to come back and visit. We already have someone to take Maggie’s place on Council. Esther Ellis has graciously volunteered to take on the duties of Liturgical Ministry chair. Welcome, Esther – we appreciate your spirit of giving! Esther and her husband, Jeff, are lectors at the 5:30 Mass.

We also congratulate our pastor, Father Rubén Patiño, who will celebrate the 33rd anniversary of his ordination on May 19. May God bless you all!

Loving God, we praise and thank you for your constant care. You are our guide and our Shepherd.

Help us to promote the mission of our parish that the Church may grow and flourish in the beautiful Hill Country of Texas.

Thanks to both for sharing their time and talents! We will miss them and hope they are able to come back and visit. We already have someone to take Maggie’s place on Council. Esther Ellis has graciously volunteered to take on the duties of Liturgical Ministry chair. Welcome, Esther – we appreciate your spirit of giving! Esther and her husband, Jeff, are lectors at the 5:30 Mass.

Help us to promote the mission of our parish that the Church may grow and flourish in the beautiful Hill Country of Texas.

Thank You!
	On behalf of the parish, our Social Activities co-chair, Mary Kay Otto, would like to thank Marie D'Arcy and Francie Dix for helping out at the Sunday Social on May 6. We also thank Catherine and James Court for pitching in after the 10:30 Mass and helping with the clean up. And a big thank you to K.K. Rice for the wonderful centerpiece she made for the First Communion Kids. They got a big kick out of their names on the stars that they were able to take home.
	We also owe a debt of gratitude for our Parish Mission. Thanks to all who attended; a special thanks to Francie Dix, who provided the music all three nights; to K.K. Rice, Mary Kay Otto and Josie Quinlan for managing the socials after Father Bruce’s presentations; and to Frank Trogus, for lending his guitar. It was a great event – Come, Holy Spirit!

Highland Lakes Pregnancy Resource Center
Catholic Life Insurance Hill Country Branch #65 and the Highland Lakes Pregnancy Resource Center of Kingsland are "Joining Hands” and co-sponsoring a fundraiser at all of the Masses on the weekends of May 19 & 20, and 
26 & 27. The Center exists to promote the sanctity of life and empower individuals to make Christ-centered choices regarding pregnancy and sexuality and to extend the healing presence and love of Jesus Christ. 
"Join Hands Day" is a National Day of Service that brings together youth and adults working for the well-being of the community. We appreciate your prayers and support for the center and its volunteers. To raise funds, baby bottles are available in the entryways of the church. You may drop your donations in the large baby bottle, or take a small baby bottle home. The deadline to return these bottles to St. Paul’s is Sunday, June 10.

We also thank Catherine and James Court for pitching in after the 10:30 Mass and helping with the clean up. And a big thank you to K.K. Rice for the wonderful centerpiece she made for the First Communion Kids. They got a big kick out of their names on the stars that they were able to take home.
	We also owe a debt of gratitude for our Parish Mission. Thanks to all who attended; a special thanks to Francie Dix, who provided the music all three nights; to K.K. Rice, Mary Kay Otto and Josie Quinlan for managing the socials after Father Bruce’s presentations; and to Frank Trogus, for lending his guitar. It was a great event – Come, Holy Spirit!

Prayer for our Capital Campaign
Loving God, we praise and thank you for your constant care. You are our guide and our Shepherd. We ask you to bless our efforts to provide the resources to continue our service to your people at St. Paul the Apostle. Help us to promote the mission of our parish that the Church may grow and flourish in the beautiful Hill Country of Texas.  May we persevere with the hope fostered and modeled by our patron saint Paul who said: “I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me.” So we pray in your name. Amen.

Thanks to both for sharing their time and talents! We will miss them and hope they are able to come back and visit. We already have someone to take Maggie’s place on Council. Esther Ellis has graciously volunteered to take on the duties of Liturgical Ministry chair. Welcome, Esther – we appreciate your spirit of giving!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Fifth Sunday of Easter
May 6, 2012


Prayer for our Capital Campaign
Loving God, we praise and thank you for your constant care. You are our guide and our Shepherd. We ask you to bless our efforts to provide the resources to continue our service to your people at St. Paul the Apostle. Help us to promote the mission of our parish that the Church may grow and flourish in the beautiful Hill Country of Texas.  May we persevere with the hope fostered and modeled by our patron saint Paul who said: “I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me.” So we pray in your name. Amen.


First Communion
This Sunday, May 6, during the 10:30 Mass, six of our young parishioners are receiving their First Holy Communion: Javier Castro, the son of Javier and Gabriela Castro; Dominik Flores, the son of Charlie & Monica Flores; Wyatt Fournier, the son of Jean Guy Fournier and the grandson of Guy & Eileen Fournier; Andrew Hugunin, the son of David & Kim Hugunin; Hunter Steffek, the son of Darrell & Kathy Steffek and the grandson of Bill & Mary Ann Steffek; and Jenna Watson, the daughter of Jerry & Jill Watson. Please congratulate these children and pray for them as they enter this new stage of their faith lives. We also want to thank the children’s teacher, Patsy Wiley, and her mother-helper, Monica Flores, for the time and talent they have devoted to their students to prepare them for this momentous occasion.


Parish Socials
Our monthly Parish Socials are this weekend, May 5 & 6, after all the Masses. Please plan to celebrate Cinco de Mayo while enjoying delicious goodies. The Social after the 10:30 Mass will also be a reception for the First Communicants. All – parishioners and visitors alike – are welcome!

The St. Paul/ St. John conference serves only those people living in the 78654 and 78657 zip codes. There is a great need for help for the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. Their funds are limited and the financial needs are overwhelming. In April, 30 household were assisted, at a cost of $5175.25. Our April Brown Bag collection was $2888.00!

Thanks from the University of Texas Catholic Center
Thank you, parishioners of St. Paul the Apostle, for supporting the mission and ministry of the University Catholic Center!  Your generosity helped us raise over a total of more than $80,000 for the Catholic Center for our Matching Gift Weekend.  Without the support of benefactors like yourself we could not provide the dynamic Catholic presence and outreach of the Paulist Fathers to the UT community.  Thank you for playing this most important role in building up the future of the Church.  May God bless you abundant
Thank you, 						             
Elizabeth M. Lange 
Director of Development
