Welcome!
We are a growing Catholic community in the heart of the beautiful Texas Hill Country. We aspire to express the Good News of Jesus Christ in today's society. Through the Eucharistic liturgy, we gather for prayer and raise our hearts, minds and lives to God. Moved by the Holy Spirit, we seek to manifest God's love for all.

Parish News
“It is possible for each one of us to meet the Son of God, experiencing all of His love and infinite mercy. We are able to encounter Him truly present in the Sacraments, especially in the Eucharist. We are able to recognize Him in the faces of our brothers and sisters, especially in the poor, the sick, the imprisoned, the displaced: they are the living flesh of the suffering Christ and the visible image of the invisible God. .(Pope Francis, Angelus – January 11, 2015)

The Final Phase of our Building Project
We have begun discussions with the Diocese of Austin regarding the completion of the renovation project of ten years ago. We have been saving money and investing in CD's so as to have sufficient funds to begin our project. We are primarily looking at the expansion of the building to provide the much-needed additional seating, restrooms, and Narthex (gathering space). We are only at the beginning so there is not much more to say about this project other than, we need to get the blessing of the diocese to establish the scope of the project and then determine the cost of such an expansion

A Word from Servant of God Isaac Hecker, Founder of the Paulist Fathers
A Word from Servant of God Isaac Hecker, Founder of the Paulist Fathers
The Church may justly be said to be the expansion, prolongation, and perpetuation of the Incarnation. Behold the method by which Christ fulfils His promise to remain upon earth unto the consummation of the world! (CA, 248)
If you have asked Father Hecker to pray for you or another person who is ill, and you believe something miraculous has happened, phone Father Paul Robichaud, CSP, at 212-265-3209 x350 and tell him your story. -
