TALLER DE ORACION Y VIDA
El Taller de Oración y Vida es una nueva forma de evangelización, más viva y con una visión más positiva de lo que se ha mostrado siempre. Es una presentación más vibrante y activa de Jesús, que posee una mayor adaptación a las necesidades de la sociedad actual. Los Talleres de Oración y Vida (TOV), fundado por el P. Ignacio Larrañaga, sacerdote capuchino, originario de España: consta de 15 semanas, una sesión por semana, 2 horas por sesión; ademas te enseña a rela-cionarte con Dios, como de un amigo a otro. Entrega a los fieles un método práctico para aprender a orar; y orar de una manera ordenada, variada y progresiva; desde los primeros pasos hasta las profundidades de la contemplación. Este aprendizaje, sin embargo, no es teórico como en un curso sino práctico como en un taller, en el que orando se aprende a orar. Invitamos a nuestra comunidad para que asistan a este taller que se estará impartiendo en la parroquia a partir del viernes 13 de enero, 2012 de 7:00 PM – 9:00PM, en el salón 212.
R.C.I.A. The RCIA team and participants wish our Faith Community a Happy and Blessed New Year. Our classes for this year
resume on Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2012. As we begin our new
calendar year, the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of
Adults) process will begin to study the Sacraments. The first Sacraments we will study are the Sacraments of Initia-
tion: Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist. Both are a be-
ginning; the beginning of a New Year and the beginning of a New Life in Christ. Then we continue with the Sacra-
ments of Vocation: Marriage and Holy Orders, and the Sac-
raments of Healing: Reconciliation and the Anointing of the Sick. We ask that our St. Luke Community continue to re-
member the participants in your prayers as they continue
their faith journey. If you are interested in learning more
about the RCIA process, please call the Faith Formation Office at 433-2777 ext. 138 or Martin Schott at 521-9079.

BEYOND CANA MARRIAGE ENRICHMENT RETREAT
— JANUARY 27-29, 2012 —
You love your spouse very much. There is no one you would rather spend time with, but over the past few years that time together has been filled with children, job pressures, holiday frenzy and just daily living. Consider this: a quiet weekend in the beautiful Texas Hill Country where you can spend quality time alone with your spouse and revitalize your marriage. You will learn to use effective communication tools in a spiritual, non-threatening setting.
Our Parish will hold a Beyond Cana Marriage Enrichment Retreat, January 27-29, in Boerne, TX.
For more information, or to register for the retreat, please contact Cherie or Frank Mueller at 862-5521 (hers) or 601-2818 (his), or email [email protected]. The Parish Office will also have brochures and registration forms.

LIFE TEEN “LIFE NIGHTS” RETURN JAN. 8!
Parents, below is the topic that your youth will be discussing at the next Life Night. We would ask that you discuss these questions with your teens. Questions?
Contact Liz Ortiz at 433-2777 ext. 119 or attend any of the Life Nights. Parents are always welcome.
1/8 LIFE NIGHT TOPIC: FULL-FILLED This night will end our semester on the Sacraments and focus on practical applications that
the seven Sacraments can have in our lives. The Sacraments are more than just seven events, but opportunities of grace that transform our lives. Each
baptized Christian has Sacramental grace in their souls and it is our call to share that grace with others. This grace is an undeserved gift that is not a one-time
event, but a gift that should overflow in our lives. Take time to talk to your teen about the semester and how they can live out the Sacraments.
Final Note: As you close your 2011 income tax year
and looking for a last minute tax deduction please remember a donation to your favorite St. Luke ministry would be greatly appreciated.
