LETTER FROM OUR PASTOR
"He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me"
Welcoming our brother and sister is welcoming Jesus
Dear friends!
We celebrate the thirteenth Sunday in ordinary time, the last Sunday in June. We have lived through very hard weeks, in which we continue dealing with the Coronavirus. Let's not be discour-aged! This tragedy will pass. We continue to pray for an end to the pandemic and to restart all our activities normally.
Thank you for joining our prayers, masses, and adoration through the website or by coming to church. Remember to follow the instructions for a safe visit to the parish.
The words of Jesus in the Gospel of Saint Matthew tell us about the importance of hospitality in the Christian tradition. Let us remember that it is one of the beatitudes, welcoming the stranger. Jesus tells us that receiving the one who comes to us, opening our house and our friendship is receiving Him. That is the key. Jesus himself passes in front of our door and our life. Jesus calls us and asks us to welcome him. Unfortunately, many times we see the other, the strangers, who are the vast majority, as a threat to our tranquility, to our peace.
A lot of bad news contributes to creating an environment in which it seems most natural to distrust the unknown person who is ap-proaching us. We value our security, our peace, our things very much, perhaps too much. Nations do the same. We do not realize that deep down like this we do nothing more than reveal our own insecurity and what we do, deep down, is to close ourselves off and isolate ourselves.
Jesus invites us not to live so focused on ourselves. That is what he means when he says that we must "lose our life." Jesus asks us to stop looking only at our problems and open ourselves to the others to welcome and understand him, even if he thinks or is different.
In this time of pandemic, we have had to take precautions not to catch the virus. But it has been a challenge to meet others through phone calls or text messages.
The parish is a place of encounter and welcome. Let's help him feel that way and others may consider this his home. In each one is the one that is achieved.
On Monday we celebrate Saint Peter and Saint Paul. Let us ask for the intercession of these two holy apostles to be welcoming missionaries to each other, so that they feel like a friend and our brother.
We appreciate your regular contribution to the parish in this diffi-cult time. It has been essential to cover the fixed expenses of the parish. We encourage you to continue doing so!
Remember to update your information (address and telephone number) on our website or by sending an email to the parish office.
It can serve as a reflection to ask ourselves: am I open to dialogue and meeting others? Do I feel threatened by those who are different from me or think otherwise? What does Jesus say to me in the Gospel? What attitudes do I have to change to act as a Christian?
May the Mother of God and Saint Paul free us from the corona-virus!
Have a blessed week!
P.Hugo Tagle, ISP
CARTA DE NUESTRO PASTOR
“El que los recibe a ustedes me recibe a mí, y el que me recibe, recibe al que me ha enviado”
Acoger al hermano es acoger a Jesús
¡Queridos amigos!
Celebramos el Décimo Tercer domingo del tiempo ordinario, último domingo de junio. Hemos vivido semanas muy duras, en que seguimos lidiando con el Coronavirus ¡No nos deje-mos desalentar! Esta tragedia pasará. Seguimos rezando por un fin de la pandemia y poder reiniciar todas nuestras activi-dades normalmente.
Gracias por unirse a nuestras oraciones, misas y adoración a través de la página web o viniendo a la iglesia. Recuerde seguir las instrucciones para una visita segura a la parroquia.
Las palabras de Jesús en el Evangelio de San Mateo nos hablan de la importancia de la hospitalidad en la tradición cris-tiana. Recordemos que es una de las bienaventuranzas, el acoger al forastero. Jesús nos dice que recibir al que se acerca a nosotros, abrirle nuestra casa y nuestra amistad es recibirlo a Él. Esa es la clave. Jesús mismo pasa delante de nuestra puerta y de nuestra vida. Jesús nos llama y nos pide acogerlo.
Lamentablemente muchas veces vemos al otro, a los desco-nocidos, que son la inmensa mayoría, como una amenaza para nuestra tranquilidad, para nuestra paz.
Muchas malas noticias contribuyen a crear un ambiente en el que nos parece lo más natural desconfiar del desconocido que se nos acerca. Valoramos mucho, quizá demasiado, nuestra seguridad, nuestra paz, nuestras cosas. Las naciones hacen lo mismo. No nos damos cuenta de que en el fondo así no hacemos más que poner de manifiesto nuestra propia inseguridad y lo que hacemos, en el fondo, es cerrarnos y aislarnos.
Jesús nos invita a no vivir tan centrados en nosotros mismos. Eso es lo que quiere decir cuando habla de que debemos “perder nuestra vida”. Jesús nos pide que dejemos de mirar solo a nuestros problemas y nos abramos al otro para acoger-lo y comprenderlo, aunque piense o sea diferente.
En este tiempo de pandemia hemos tenido que tomar precau-ciones para no contagiarnos con el virus. Pero ha sido un desafío para ir al encuentro de otros a través de llamadas por teléfono o mensajes de texto.
La parroquia es un lugar de encuentro y acogida. Ayudemos a que se sienta así y otros puedan considerarla su hogar. En cada uno está el que se logre.
El lunes celebramos la de San Pedro y San Pablo. Pidamos la intercesión de estos dos santos apóstoles para ser misioneros acogedores del otro, para que se sienta amigo y hermano nuestro.
Le agradecemos su regular contribución a la parroquia en este tiempo difícil. Ha sido fundamental para cubrir los gastos fijos de la parroquia ¡Lo animamos a que continúe haciéndolo!
Recuerde actualizar sus datos (dirección y teléfono) en nues-tra web o mandando un mail a la parroquia.
Nos puede servir como reflexión preguntarnos ¿estoy abierto al diálogo y al encuentro con los demás? ¿Me siento amena-zado por los que son diferentes de mí o piensan de otra manera? ¿Qué me dice Jesús en el Evangelio a mi? ¿Qué actitudes tengo que cambiar para actuar como cristiano?
¡Que tengan una bendecida semana!

Mass Attendance/Asistencia a Misa
The attendance is steadily growing. We open the upper room and Grace Hall to accommodate more parishioners. You may consider also to attend our weekday Masses. However, stay home until you feel safe to attend the Mass in the church. We continue live streaming of all our Masses.
La asistencia está creciendo constantemente. Abrimos la sala superior y Grace Hall para dar cabida a más feligreses. También puede considerar asistir a nuestras Misas de lunes a viernes.

Use of Buildings at St Paul Procedures Uso de Edificios en los Procedimientos de San Pablo
Groups who have a meeting space at St. Paul need to be compliant with COVID procedures: social distancing, use of sanitizers and masks. Masks are recommended to be worn while in any building at St Paul. Grace Hall can ac-commodate 30 people with the use of 10 tables, 3 people at each table. Classrooms can have 10 people in Rm 5, and other classrooms only 5 people, with social distanc-ing.

St. Vincent de Paul
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul offers financial assistance through the City of Austin’s RISE Program Austin and Travis County residents can begin applying for financial assistance through the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Diocesan Council of Austin starting June 1. The organization is a recipient of the City of Austin’s Relief in a State of Emergency (RISE) Funding in-tended to help residents impacted by COVID-19. The fund of-fers residents one-time financial assistance for rent, mortgages, car payments, utilities and some medical expenses. People can apply by calling the phone number that corresponds with the first letter of their last name. Those numbers are: If the neigh-bors last name starts with call A - D 737-484-0914, E - K 737-484-0915, L - R 737-484-0916, S - Z 737-484-0917 Upon con-tacting SVDP through these numbers, the neighbor will be inter-viewed to establish they qualify through the Programs funding criteria. Amongst these is that they need be affected by the COVID-19 crisis, have an income less than 200% of the federal poverty guideline, and have not received federal support through the CARES Act [the “Stimulus Check”]. As their eligibil-ity will be established through the interview process, applicants are encouraged to call to be evaluated for this support. Society of St. Vincent de Paul is a Catholic lay organization that helps people in need.
The Holy Father’s Intentions for July Las Intenciones del Santo Padre para Julio

New Director of Education Needed
St. Paul’s DRE position is vacant and we invite applications from qualified candidates. Please pass a word to your friends and families. More information on our website.
Prayer for the Building Projects
Most gracious and loving God, we pray for your favor, strength and wisdom at this point in time. Let us undertake with your grace the challenges of building the community of St. Paul and the building of a new Sanctuary on our proper-ty. Kindly grant us the best solutions for our needs and may our efforts, gifts, talents and sacrifices be pleasing to you. Amen.
Marriage Preparation Retreat
All those couples who are planning to marry this year may attend “Together in God’s Love” retreat which is scheduled for July 25th in Grace Hall. Time: 9am-6pm. Fees: $90.00. For registration contact the parish office or visit the parish website.
Most Precious Blood of Jesus
The month of July is dedicated to the Most Precious Blood of the Redeemer. Supreme homage is given to the Sacred Blood. As we adore the Sacred Heart, because it is the Heart of Jesus, who is God, so we adore the Most Pre-cious Blood.
The Blood of Jesus is the fountain of salvation. Each drop that flowed from the wounds of the Savior is a pledge of man’s eternal salvation. All races of the earth have been ransomed, and all individuals, who will allow the saving power of the Sacred Blood to be applied to their soul, are heirs of heaven. St. John Chrysostom calls the Precious Blood “the savior of souls”; St. Thomas Aquinas, “the key to heaven’s treasures”; St. Ambrose, “pure gold of ineffa-ble worth”; St. Mary Magdalene de Pazzi, “a magnet of souls and pledge of eternal life”. The sins of mankind, in their number, in their offense to the Supreme Being, in the effects on transgressors, are immense; yet, the Precious Blood of Jesus is not frightened by numbers, it has in Itself the power to appease an angered God and to heal wound-ed creatures.
Diocesan Special Collection Colección especial diocesana
Thank you all who supported the diocesan collection for the Seminarian’s and Priest’s Education and Formation. We collected $310.
Gracias a todos los que apoyaron la colección diocesana para la Educación y Formación de Seminaristas y Sacerdotes. Recolectamos $310.
June 29th: Solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul, apostles
Veneration of the two great Apostles, Peter and Paul, has its roots in the very foundations of the Church. They are the solid rock on which the Church is built. They are at the origin of her faith and will forever remain her protectors and her guides. To them Rome owes her true greatness, for it was under God's providential guidance that they were led to make the capital of the Empire, sanctified by their martyrdom, the center of the Christian world whence should radiate the preaching of the Gospel.

Social Ministry Ministerio Social
Dear Parishioners,
I have enjoyed being your pastor for a year and have been observing, listening, participating and trying a few new parish activities. In the upcoming months you will hear about various parish ministries. I’d like to share with everyone our social ministry vision.
St. Paul will have two main ministries to support the social functions in our Parish.
The two main ministries are:
Society of Saint Vincent de Paul (SVDP)
• This is a ministry that provides financial support to any person in our parish boundaries- regardless of their faith.
• The second collection, the second week of every month is used to support as many people as possible.
• A person can obtain rent or utility financial assistance twice a year. In addition, SVDP provides references to food, cloth-ing, transportation, work, and support for addictions.
• 25 parishioners are members of SVDP ministry here at St. Paul. Connie Chavez is the President.
Kids at Heart
• Kids at Heart ministry provides financial support for children of parishioners to attend Catholic grammar or high school.
• This program was started at Sacred Heart in Austin, Texas and has spread throughout Texas and other Diocese in the United States.
• This is a new ministry at St. Paul and you will be hearing more about Kids at Heart in a few months.
• Chantele Cisneros, Jennifer Monaco, Fernando Reyes and Gina Rollman lead this initiative.
Please note: The food pantry will be discontinued July 1. We will continue to have two brown bag food collections a year. The food will support the various food pantries that serve our parish boundaries. In addition, the SVDP references for assis-tance will be available to anyone who comes to our office.
We are currently updating the parish ministries on the Saint Paul web site. I encourage you to see all the great things that are happening. I am gladdened by the number of people who are sharing their talents in so many ways to help others.
If you are interested in joining any ministry, please reach out to the contact person listed on the Saintpaulaustin.org web site.
Fr. Johnson
Estimados feligreses,
He disfrutado ser su pastor por un año y he estado observando, escuchando, participando y probando algunas nuevas acti-vidades parroquiales. En los próximos meses escucharán sobre varios ministerios parroquiales. Me gustaría compartir con ustedes nuestra visión del ministerio social.
San Pablo tendrá dos ministerios principales para apoyar las funciones sociales en nuestra parroquia. Los dos ministerios principales son
Sociedad de San Vicente de Paul (SVDP)
• Este ministerio brinda apoyo financiero a cualquier persona dentro de las fronteras de nuestra parroquia, independiente-mente de su fe.
• Cada segunda semana de cada mes, se utilizara la segunda colect para apoyar a todas las familias que sea posible.
• Las personas pueden obtener asistencia financiera para rentas o servicios públicos dos veces al año. Además, SVDP proporciona referencias a alimentos, ropa, transporte, trabajo y apoyo para adicciones.
• 25 feligreses son miembros del ministerio SVDP aquí en St. Paul. Connie Chavez es la presidenta.
Niños de corazón (Kids at Heart)
• El ministerio Niños de corazón brinda apoyo financiero para que los hijos de nuestros feligreses que asistan a la escue-la católica gramática o la escuela católica secundaria.
• Este programa empezó en Sacred Heart aquí en Austin, Texas, y se ha extendido por todo Texas y otras diócesis en los Estados Unidos.
• Este es un nuevo ministerio en St. Paul y en unos meses escuchará más sobre Niños de corazón (Kids at Heart).
• Chantele Cisneros, Jennifer Monaco, Fernando Reyes y Gina Rollman serán los lideres de esta iniciativa.
Tenga en cuenta: la despensa de alimentos (food pantry) se descontinuará el 1 de julio. Continuaremos teniendo dos colec-ciones de alimentos en bolsas de papel cada año. La comida apoyará las diversas despensas de alimentos que sirven a las fronteras de nuestra parroquia. Además, las referencias SVDP para asistencia estará disponibles para cualquier persona que venga a nuestra oficina.
Actualmente estamos actualizando los ministerios parroquiales en el sitio web de Saint Paul. Los animo a que vean todas las grandes cosas que están sucediendo. Me alegro con la cantidad de personas que comparten sus talentos de muchas maneras apoyar a otros.
Si está interesado en unirse con algún ministerio, comuníquese con la persona de contacto que figura en el sitio web de Saintpaulaustin.org.
