St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church
From Our Pastor, Fr. Matthew Zuberbueler
Dear Friends, Last year, I recall, we had our Parish Festival on Sep-
tember 8th, the Birthday of Our Blessed Mother. Such
an occasion adds a lot to a celebration. This year the
original plan was to move the date later in the month,
the Festival being on September 28th. When we real-
ized that that would directly conflict with the St Philip
Parish Festival we moved back to September’s 2nd
Saturday. As good neighbors who love fun, food and
fellowship, I hope many of us will be able to attend
our festival and St. Philip’s.
You’ve heard by now that we are using an Octoberfest
theme. That is also an idea that evolved. The 28th is,
in some places, a day which honors Our Lady, Undoer
of Knots, a devotion from Germany. People have
come to love approaching Mary in prayer using that
title. I highly recommend that Novena (easily found
online) for resolving long-standing and tough situa-
tions in life and in families.
Be reminded, then, that in Germany the famous Octo-
berfest begins in September. And be excited to share
(and mix) the exciting foods we are preparing, fusion
being nothing new to St. Anthony’s! Bratwurst (pun
bad!), roasted pork (from Philipines and Bolivia), spe-
cialties from Ghana, Mexican taste sensations, and
Texas smoked brisket! There will be music and dance
and a fun food fusion competition (judged by your
culturally diverse clergy?) this Saturday from 4:00 pm
-9:00 pm, with a bonfire in the last hour. Please come.
Tickets will be available at the door. Proceeds will
support the needs of the parish.
With my prayers, Fr. Matthew Zuberbueler Pastor
De Nuestro Párroco, Padre Mateo Zuberbueler
Queridos Amigos, El año pasado, recuerdo que tuvimos nuestro Festival Parroquial el 8 de septiembre, cumpleaños de Nuestra Santísima Madre. Ese acontecimiento, agrega mucho a una celebración. Este año, el plan original era mover la fecha del festival más cercana al final del mes, el 28 de septiembre. Sin embargo, cuando nos dimos cuenta de que eso entraría directamente en conflicto con el Festi-val de la Parroquia de San Felipe, regresamos nueva-mente al segundo sábado de septiembre. Como buenos vecinos que aman la diversión, la comida y la camara-dería, espero que muchos de nosotros podamos asistir a ambos festivales, al nuestro y al de San Felipe. Habrán oído que estamos usando un tema de October-fest. Eso también es una idea que se hizo realidad. En algunos lugares, el 28 de septiembre es un día que hon-ran a Nuestra Señora, Desata Nudos, una devoción de Alemania. La gente se acerca con amor a María en ora-ción, usando ese título. Les recomiendo mucho esa Novena (la que pueden encontrar muy fácilmente en internet) para resolver aquellas situaciones perennes y difíciles en la vida y en las familias. Recuerden entonces, que en Alemania el famoso Octo-berfest comienza en septiembre. ¡Disfruten mucho cuando compartan (y prueben) los alimentos que con tanta emoción estarán siendo preparados, la presencia de varias culturas y comidas no es algo nuevo para San Antonio! Bratwurst, repollo morado, sauerkraut (repollo fermentado), pretzels, cerdo asado (de Filipi-nas y Bolivia), especialidades de Ghana, sensaciones de sabor mexicano y carne ahumada de Texas. ¡Habrá música y baile, además de una divertida competencia de fusión de alimentos ¡(los jueces serán su clero ¿culturalmente diverso?)! Este sábado de 4:00 pm a 9:00 pm, terminando el evento con una fogata. Los esperamos a todos, por favor asistan. Boletos a la ven-ta en la puerta. Las ganancias servirán para cubrir al-gunas necesidades de la parroquia. Con mis oraciones, Padre Mateo Zuberbueler Párroco

Dear St. Anthony Family, We have a Preschool! It is hard to describe the joyfulness in our preschool opening in words; I hope these few pictures will tell the story. Our preschoolers enjoyed a terrific first week of school. They adjusted easily to their teachers and their new bright and inspiring classrooms. It was a busy week of making new friends, learning new things, playing together, pray-ing together, and getting settled into their daily routine. By the end of the week, the start of the day was filled with joy and grace; they quickly left their parents to enter the building to join their teachers and classmates. This is a testament to our wonderful preschool staff. The opening of our preschool entailed the efforts of so many, I want to thank all who helped make this project a reality: our project team staff, the architects Demian-Wilbur, the Construction Contractors Chamberlain and Company, the Playground Con-struction team at J. Sanchez Masonry…and so many others too numerous to mention. I am so thankful for the Blessing of this new preschool, it reminds me to “… seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” Matthew 6:33 It was in fact a small Miracle built on the faith of many! Yours in Christ, Nora Buçaj Principal

Stewardship Reflection “Everyone of you who does not renounce all his pos-
sessions cannot be my disciple.” LUKE 14:33
When we first hear this statement, it seems that Jesus is making an unrealistic demand upon us. How can we renounce all of our possessions? We need them to live. However, what we must renounce is the belief that they belong to us. Everything that we have be-longs to God alone. All of our resources are entrusted to us not only for our own use, but also so that we can help others. Once we renounce the idea that we pos-sess or are entitled to anything, it is much easier to share the many gifts that God has given us. Then we truly are His Disciples.
