*Special Lenten Adult Faith Formation Opportunity
To understand our Catholic Faith, it is important to understand and appreciate its common roots with Judaism.  The Passover meal known as Seder, is commonly believed to be the Last Supper that Christ shared with his disciples, and where he instituted the sacrament of Eucharist.  Following mass on Wednesday, April 10, we will be hosting in our Family Life Center an interfaith Seder meal and service, conducted by a Rabbi.  Following the Seder there will be an opportunity for a Q & A with a panel that includes the Rabbi, Fr. Patino, and a Pastor from our neighbors at the Church at Horseshoe Bay. As space will be limited, we will have sign-up sheers available at the masses beginning on February 23, and running until we reach capacity.  Donations will be accepted at the door to help cover the cost of the meal. 

Stations of the Cross
There is a sign-up sheet in the back of church by the sacristy for those who wish to participate as a reader of the Stations or carrier of the cross.

  “Catholicism is humanity becoming in an organized order. …The different Societies institutions and unions in the Catholic Church are the naturel development of the needs of Men under the influence of the Christian dispensation and so long as Men remain under that dispensation they will respond to their pressing wants.”              [ Diary, January 7, 1844]
