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“In our fragmented lives, the Lord comes to meet us with a loving “fragility,” which is the Eucharist. In the Bread of Life, the Lord comes to us, making himself a humble meal that lovingly heals our memory, wounded by life’s frantic pace of life. The Eucharist is the memorial of God’s love.” (Homily- June 18, 2017)

For Your Health and Well-Being – Come to Ruah
RUAH, the Hebrew word for "breath" or "spirit" also identifies an exercise class at St. Paul's Church. The concept behind Ruah (pronounced "roo' ah") acknowledges the relationships between body, mind and spirit for the well-being of the human person. Ruah encourages improvement of strength, balance, stability, mobility, and flexibility. We re-learn to breathe, exercise, laugh, play, and relax. We meet at the FLC on Tuesday mornings at 11 a.m. Please contact Sara Bray for questions (830) 613 5436.
Are You Being Called to Serve As a Deacon?
Project Stephen provides an opportunity for men who are discerning their call to a deeper relationship with God through service as a deacon. It is a time of prayer and reflection, and an opportunity to discuss one’s call with others. Hear witness from a deacon, his sense of call and life of service, and learn about the qualities, charisms, and aspects of the diaconate and of formation. There will be a Project Stephen meeting at St. Paul the Apostle on Sunday, October 22 from 1 pm – 3 pm. Please visit the Diocese of Austin’s Project Stephen website - https://www.austindiocese.org/projectstephen

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
To develop the mind there is never need to minimize the truth; but there is great need of knowing how to assimilate the truth to different minds. (“The Things That Make for Unity,” April 1888; CW, 108)
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. -
