Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us

Twenty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time August 25, 2019

Do you or someone you know want to understand

how God is working in your life?

Are you Catholic and in need of Sacraments?

You are invited to an Information Orientation on

Sept. 5th at 7:00pm in the Ave Maria Building

to meet the instructors & find out more about the

classes that can address your questions & interests.

Registration is available now by contacting the

Parish Office at (254) 773-4541.

In today’s Gospel Jesus

reminds the people of his

time that their status as

“the chosen people” did not

guarantee admission into

God’s Kingdom. That is

true of us as well. God’s

kingdom is given as a gift,

but to accept the gift we

must faithfully follow Jesus

through the narrow door.

This means living in him

and for him in everything

that we do. That narrow

door includes our love and

care for the poor and

vulnerable. Are we strong

enough to be servants to

the least as Jesus was?

Are you interested in learning

more about the Catholic Faith

or becoming Catholic?

ADULT BIBLE STUDY

The study of the Holy Scriptures is always new

because the Word of God is so rich that a life-

time is not enough to unpack its gifts.

Our new study, PETER – CORNERSTONE OF

CATHOLICISM, looks at Peter, who was given the

keys to the Kingdom

In ten sessions, beginning Tuesday, September 3 and

concluding Tuesday, November 5, 2019, we will come to

know Peter, as vital and fundamental to the Church. But

the more we study and understand the life of Peter, the

better we will know the one Peter followed and

professed, the true and absolute Cornerstone of the

Church, Jesus Christ. Join us on this exciting journey!

REGISTER AT THE FIRST CLASS, Tuesday, Sept. 3,

1:30 pm to 3:30 pm or 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm.

Both sessions will be held in the Regina Caeli Room.

There is no fee for the classes but the cost of the study

guide is $25.00.

For further information call the parish office or

Loris Edwards, facilitator, at 254-778-8692, or e-mail
