COVENANT OF LOVENov 11 from 7-9pm in Deane Hall.
(Always the 2nd Friday of every month)
Enjoy a special evening with your spouse as we experience a beautiful marriage enrichment series called “Beloved.”
Beloved explores the true meaning of the Sacrament of Marriage. At Date Night, you’ll discover the deepest spiritual, emotional, and practical realities of what your marriage can and should be. Through an exploration of Scripture, Tradition, and Church teaching, God’s plan for your marriage will come alive. You’ll see firsthand the wonder, mystery, and joy behind that first “I do”—whether you said it last year or many years ago.
Free childcare is provided…. how wonderful is that?! Call Jimmy and Joanna Mancini for more information at 512-569-6963. Hope to see you on Nov 11…. It’s a date!

November 5 & 6, 2016 / 5 & 6 de noviembre, 2016Thirty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
NOT ENOUGHIt is not enough for me to love God if my neighbor does not love God.
—St. Vincent de Paul
NO BASTANo basta que yo ame a Dios si mi prójimo no ama a Dios.
—San Vicente de Paúl
Jubilee Year of MercyNovember 6, 2016Thirty-second Sunday in Ordinary TimeJubilee for Prisoners
One of the most moving images of Pope Francis’ ministry comes from Holy Thursday. Slowly, deliberately, Francis kneels down before prisoners—men, women, young, old, Christian, Muslim—and washes their feet, recalling Jesus admonition to Peter: “If I, therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one an-other’s feet” (John 13:14). On today’s Jubilee for Prisoners, whose rights the Church bids us advocate, Jesus declares in the Gospel,
“to [God] all are alive” (Luke 20:38). Have we “imprisoned” anyone figuratively, but no less painfully, passing harsh judg-ment, then refusing our respect, acceptance, even affection? This month of All Saints and All Souls bids us reflect on our eternal destiny and prepare for it. Respect for ourselves and oth-ers, souls and bodies, practical care for neighbors and strangers: such witness affirms that we view our present in light of our future, and believe that, even now, in our midst, stands the Lord of life, the living Jesus.

Año Jubilar de la Misericordia6 de noviembre de 2016Trigésimo Segundo Domingo del Tiempo OrdinarioJubileo por los Encarcelados
Una de las imágenes más conmovedoras del ministerio del Papa Francisco es la del Jueves Santo. Despacio, determinado, el Papa Francisco se arrodil-la ante los prisioneros —hombres, mujeres, jóvenes, ancianos, cristianos, musulmanes— y les lava los pies, recordando aquello que Jesús le dijo a Pedro: “Pues si yo, el Maestro y el Señor, les he lavado los pies, también ustedes deben lavarse los pies unos a otros” (Juan 13:14). Hoy, en el Jubileo para los Encarcelados, la Iglesia nos invita a abogar por sus derechos, en el Evangelio Jesús expresa que para Dios “todos están vivos” (Lucas 20:38). ¿Hemos “encarcelado” a alguien de forma figurada, sin tanto dolor, con un juicio severo, negándole nuestro respeto, aceptación y más aún, afecto? Este mes de Todos los Santos y los Fieles Difuntos nos invitan a reflexionar en nuestro eterno destino y a prepararnos para ello. El respeto por nosotros mismos y los demás, nuestras almas y cuerpos, atención cuidadosa por nuestros vecinos y extraños: dicho testimonio afirma que vemos nuestro presente a la luz de nuestro fututo y que lo creemos, incluso ahora, en medio de nosotros se encuentra el Señor de la vida, Jesús vive.

YOUTH MINISTRY
CHURCH PAVERSThe Altar Society is once again presenting to our parishio-ners the availability to purchase engraved pavers that connect the Church to the Education Building, Deane Hall and the PAC (the church business hub). These are a wonderful way for remembering people. One of our donors now orders one in remembrance of a dear friend’s passing. There had been an absence of ordering these because of the change in the manufacturer. They are once again up and running and we pay the same price as we had originally negotiated. The entire proceeds will go directly to our building fund. We order the pavers when we have 50 paid requests. These forms are in the back of the Church and you can fill out one and drop it off with your check at the Church or office. If you have any questions you can call a member of the Altar Society but we believe all the information is in the order form. Thank you.
ADOQUINES/LADRILLOS DE LA IGLESIAUna vez más la Sociedad del Altar presenta a los feligreses de Santa Cruz, la opor-tunidad de comprar ladrillos o adoquines con su mensaje personalizado inscrito, los cuales conectan a la Iglesia con el Edificio de Educación, Salón Parroquial Deane y el PAC (el centro de actividades de la Iglesia). Esta es una manera mara-villosa para recordar a sus seres queridos. Uno de nuestros donantes ahora ordena un adoquín en recuerdo de un querido amigo(a) que haya fallecido. Por un tiempo no se podían ordenar estos adoquines debido al cambio del fabricante. Ahora que el fabricante original ha reanudado su negocio podremos ordenar una vez más pagando el mismo precio. Las ganancias de estas órdenes irán directamente al préstamo de nuestra construcción. El pedido de estos adoquines se hace cuando se reciben 50 solicitudes pagadas. Los formularios para hacer su solicitud se encuentran en la parte posterior de la Iglesia y se pueden entregar con su cheque en la Iglesia (los fines de semana) o en la oficina (durante la semana). Si usted tiene alguna pregunta puede llamar a un miembro de la Sociedad del Altar, aunque creemos que toda la información necesaria se encuentra en el formulario. ¡Gracias!
November 5 & 6, 2016 / 5 & 6 de noviembre, 2016Thirty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
Dear parishioners,Today we ask for a financial commitment from all the
Catholic Faithful for the Catholic Services Appeal. The funds collected from this appeal support the ministry of our Bishop, Joe Vasquez.
The major part is allocated to the education of students for the priesthood to serve in the parishes of our diocese and the continuing formation of priests as well as the long-term care of retired priests. The funds are then distributed among the various areas of ministry: education, service and prayer.
The ministry of our Bishop is divided into the various offices, which provide service to the Catholic Faithful upholds all that we do. For example, the formation of our religious education teachers, youth and campus ministry programs, consultation in matters of canon law are a few of the ways in which the finances from this appeal help us in many ways and throughout the year.
Please consider participating so that our parish family will continue to prosper.
Father David.
Queridos feligreses,Hoy les pedimos a todos los fieles Católicos un compromiso financiero
para la campaña de los Servicios Católicos diocesanos. Los fondos recaudados de esta apelación, apoyan el Ministerio de nuestro obispo, Joe Vásquez.
La mayor parte se destina a la educación de estudiantes en el sacerdocio, quienes servirán en las parroquias de nuestra diócesis y a la formación continua de sacerdotes, así como el cuidado a largo plazo de sacerdotes jubilados. Entonces, estos fondos se distribuirán entre las distintas áreas de los ministerios de: educación, servicio y oración.
El Ministerio de nuestro obispo se divide entre diferentes oficinas, cuales proporcionan servicio a los fieles católicos sosteniendo todo lo que hacemos. Por ejemplo, la formación de nuestros maestros de educación religiosa, programas de ministerio y campus para jóvenes, consulta en materia de derecho canónico; estas son algunas de las maneras en que las finanzas de este llamado ayudan de tantas maneras y durante todo el año.
Por favor considere participar para que nuestra familia parroquial continúe prosperando.
Padre David.

Please STAY registered in the Parish!
With over 2,100 households in the parish it is a big task to keep up with everyone! However, we try to update our census each year.
The following parishioners will be AUTOMATICALLY re-registered for 2017:
üThose who use their envelopes for CASH donationsüThose who use a CHECK to give their donationüThose who use the electronic (automatic withdrawal)
giving
There are currently 234 families who do not do any of the above. Therefore, it is difficult to know if these families are still committed to the parish.
Between now and January 1, 2017, I ask these families [who wish to remain members in 2017] to return at least ONE EMPTY ENVELOPE in the collection.
Two priests have the responsibility of caring for over 7,600 individuals. All we are asking is (not money) but the “show of commitment” of one empty envelope before the end of the year.
Unfortunately, those who do not respond in this minimal way will be deleted from the list of active parishioners in 2017.
¡Permanezcan registrados en esta Parroquia!
Con más de 2,100 hogares en la parroquia es una gran tarea mantener actualizados a todos nuestros feligreses. Sin embargo, tratamos de actualizar nuestro censo cada año.
Los siguientes feligreses se mantendrán registrados AUTOMÁTICAMENTE para el año 2017:
üAquellos que utilizan sus sobres para donativos en efectivoüAquellos que usan cheques para hacer su donaciónüAquellos que utilizan giros bancarios (retiro automático)
Actualmente tenemos aproximadamente 234 familias que no usan ninguna de las opciones ya mencionadas. Por lo tanto, es difícil saber si estas familias todavía están comprometidas para con la parroquia.
Les pido a estas familias que deseen permanecer como miembros en el año 2017, que por lo menos regresen UNO DE SUS SOBRES VACÍOS en la colecta hoy, o hasta el 1ro de enero, 2017.
Nuestros dos sacerdotes tienen la responsabilidad de cuidar a más de 7,600 personas. Todo lo que le pedimos (no es dinero) sino la “intención de compromiso” regresando uno de los sobres que se le envían mensualmente, antes del fin del año.
Por desgracia, quienes no respondan de esta manera mínima, se eliminarán de la lista de feligreses activos en el 2017.
News from the Principal’s DeskThe start of November began with a big celebration at our parish
school. Students and teachers dressed up as saints for All Saints’ Day. After Mass, we had a parade of saints out of church, around the parking lot, to the rear of the San Juan Chapel. All the students and Fr. David posed for our traditional All Saints’ Day photo. Then, the students and teachers went back to their classes to enjoy the saints’ project presenta-tions. The fifth graders held a Living History Saint Museum under the church portico. All the students were able to visit each saint to listen to the story of their lives. The day’s festivities were capped off by the All Saints’ Festival which was held in Deane Hall. Deane Hall had been transformed into Heaven for the day by an army of parent volunteers. The classes all visited Heaven to enjoy many different activities and games. At the end of the day, Fr. David recited the Litany of Saints and then gave out best costume awards. All in all, it was a terrific day enjoyed by all!
Have a blessed summer!Mrs. Flanagan
SANTA CRUZ CATHOLIC SCHOOL/ESCUELA CATOLICA
Noticias del Escritorio de la DirectoraEl principio del mes de noviembre comenzó con una gran cel-
ebración en nuestra escuela parroquial. Los estudiantes y maestros se disfrazaron de Santos para conmemorar el Día de Todos los Santos. Después de la Misa, tuvimos un desfile de los Santos desde la iglesia, alrededor del estacionamiento, hasta la capilla de San Juan. Todos los estudiantes y el Padre David posaron para la foto tradicional del Día de Todos los Santos. Luego, los estudiantes y profesores volvieron a sus clases para disfrutar de presentaciones sobre proyectos de los Santos. Los alumnos de quinto grado llevaron a cabo un Museo de Historia Viva sobre los Santos bajo el pórtico de la Iglesia. Todos los estudiantes pudieron visitar cada santo para escuchar la historia de sus vidas. Las festividades del día fueron coronadas por el Festival de Todos los Santos que se celebró en el salón parroquial. El salón parroquial se transformó en el Cielo por el día con la ayuda de un ejército de padres voluntarios. Todas las clases visitaron ‘el Cielo’ y disfrutaron de muchas actividades y diferentes juegos. Al final del día, el Padre David recito la Letanía de los Santos y luego dio premios a los mejores trajes de disfraz. Fue un día excelente y todos llegamos a disfrutarlo.
Que tengan un bendecido verano,Sra. Flanagan

This international movement has resulted in 70+ abortion facilities closing, over 130 abortion clinic workers having conversions and leaving their jobs, and over 11,700 women choosing life for children they were going to abort. Here in Central Texas at least 234 women have changed their minds and chosen life!
