Catholic Corner
Whom do we follow and to whose voice do we listen? This Sunday as we continue to unpack the meaning of our Baptism, we hear Jesus call himself the Good Shepherd whose sheep hear his voice and follow his lead. That way of Jesus is the way of love and unity. We are truly blessed to be loved so much and because we have been given so much, we must in turn live lives of generous love toward all. Are there some in our world we believe are undeserving of love or respect or generosity? Jesus gave his life for them, how shall we respond?

Stations of the Cross Project
Fellow Parishioners, Tristan Johnson, who has been working on the Stations of the Cross project in order to attain his Eagle Scott recognition, needs our help to complete the project. After investigating the available outdoor Stations of the Cross through religious goods vendors, we have come to a point where he needs financial help. The set of Stations that would grace our prayer space are expensive. We have found a set that is most affordable but still high at $3,500. In order to complete the project, he will need 14 donors to sponsor each station at $250. The total amount will enable him to obtain a nice set of Stations.  If you would like to contribute to this worthwhile project, send your check made out to St. Paul the Apostle Church to P.O. Box 8019, Horseshoe Bay, TX 78657 or phone us at 830-598-8342 or stop by the parish office and pay by check, cash or credit card. 
Please help complete this worthy project.

  “Here is my difficulty oh Lord and do Thou direct me. I am always in doubt when I do not think of Thee alone that I am sinning and my time is misspent. Yet how can I think of thee at all times when my studies call attention from Thee. These oh Lord I offer to thee with deep humility. May all that I do be done to Thy great glory. My heart would be drinking always from Thy living fountain of love. But how shall I best serve thee oh my God and Saviour? Ah let all be devoted to thee, to thee alone. Let me not be distracted from Thee.”                     [ Diary, February 16, 1845]
