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
Christ reminds us, “Whoever receives one child such as this in my name, receives me.” Considering the various justice issues that affect children in our country — particularly the children of immigrants and the marginalized and the unborn — we must stand up for their rights as they possess an inherent dignity deserving the basic necessities to grow up as joyful children of God
A Big Thank You
Congratulations on a very successful Paulist Fathers Hope for the Future Campaign. Participation by our parishioners was outstanding, with 60% of households contributing $709,102.00. These funds go to support Vocations Outreach, Seminary Formation, Senior Paulists, and Mission & Ministries. The Paulist Fathers thank one and all for your generous giving. Fr. Ruben Patino, CSP
Knights of Columbus Helping Center Collection
The Knights of Columbus will hand out bags this weekend to benefit the Helping Center, which is a food bank providing services to the needy in the area. Please place your donations in the labeled bags and return them next weekend at the September 25 and 26 Masses. The bags are labeled with suggestions for needed products. Monetary donations are also welcomed. Please write checks to the “Helping Center” or St. Paul the Apostle. Do not make checks to Knights of Columbus. Thank you for your generosity.
Family Life Center
Progress is being made! The roofer has started repairs. Materials have been ordered but there is a backlog of many weeks on some of the necessary materials. The FLC is open to organizations that are established and have previously held meetings there. No new committees or outside events will be held there until renovation is completed. The outside balcony and exit doors to the balcony are off limits. Cooking in the kitchen is not allowed. Be aware there may be days when meetings there cannot take place due to construction. In that event, ministries will be notified.
Infant of Prague
Please take note of the beautiful Infant of Prague figure which was placed on the back wall of the church. It is a donation of Mike and Brenda Kerr and was bequeathed to Mike by his aunt, Pauline Maher, a devout Catholic who was a former religious, but left for health reasons. Mike is the craftsman who created the altar, ambo, tabernacle stand and other pieces in the church. Thank you, Mike and Brenda!

Development Update
With tax and estate laws constantly changing, Development believes it is important to get started with an education/communication program directed at our parishioners. Many of us just do not keep up with what needs to be done with our estate, and what's in the best interest of themselves and their families' lives. Take a look at your financial assets! You may be surprised at how much you’ve accumulated once you’ve added your home equity, retirement, bank, and investment accounts together. It may be a number that surprises you, pleasantly! How about your will? When was the last time it was updated? Our desire is for you to discover that your directives are passed on in the exact manner to carry out your wishes. Please look for periodic estate planning ideas over the next couple of months. We will conclude with an in-person presentation by financial planning experts prior to Thanksgiving.

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.” (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.
