Update Your Parishioner / Family Information
Does our Church database have YOUR family membership record correct? Shortly, Guide Book Publishing will be updating our annual Directory. It is time to update our database with any changes, additions, or deletions that may have occurred in YOUR family over the past year.
Have you changed your phone number? Have you moved and have a new address? Are all your children still at home, are they included in your parishioner record? Do you want your email included? Do you want a listing in the directory or prefer not to be listed? If you have not already informed the Parish office about changes to your records, please let us know so the information in the Guide Book & Directory is correct. Call us at 281.333.3891.

Volume XVIII No. 1861 Thirty-Third Sunday In Ordinary Time November 13, 2016
2017 MASS BOOK OPEN Starting Tuesday, November 15th, you may visit the Welcome Center during regular office hours to arrange for the offering of Masses for the new year (up to 3 intentions will be accepted for each Mass, except those Sunday Masses offered for the People of the Parish). You may also make arrangements to offer weekend flowers, weekly bread and wine, and weekly altar/sanctuary candles.
SOME LITURGICAL UPDATES Starting November 27th, the First Sunday of Advent, you will notice some minor changes at Mass: after the distribution of Communion is complete, the cups and bowls used will be returned to the Chapel sacristy by the Eucharistic Ministers and purified after Mass by the Deacon. This is one of the options offered in the General Instruction on the Roman Missal and will smooth the flow of the Mass a little bit. Also, at Sunday 5 PM Mass, the transfer of the Blessed Sacrament will take place from the Church Altar to the Chapel Altar at the end of Holy Communion. Thus we will show ever more clearly that the Lord we adore in Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament is one and the same Lord whom we receive in Holy Communion. Effective 2017, all liturgical ministers will have two year terms of service. At the end of their term, each minister will take a one year respite from the ministry to reflect upon how God is calling that person to serve the parish family of St. Paul and the wider Church. If deemed best, the minister can request to resume that ministry after the one year.
SPECIAL THANKS A special word of thanks to Fathers Michael Carmody, David Bergeron, Dominic Pistone, David Bittner and our own Father Jim Bradley for presiding at our Masses in Father Wencil’s absence for the Holy Land Pilgrimage. We are truly blessed to have had their assistance!
APERTURA DEL LIBRO DE LAS MISAS DE 2017 A partir del martes, 15 de noviembre, puede visitar el Centro de Bienvenida durante las horas regulares de oficina para ofrecer las Misas para el año entrando (hasta 3 intenciones será aceptado para cada Misa, excepto las Misas de los domingos se ofrecen para los Feligreses de la Parroquia). También podrá hacer arreglos para ofrecer las flores de fin de semana, el pan y vino de la semana y también las velas de altar y Santuario semanal.
ALGUNOS CAMBIOS LITÚRGICOS A partir del 27 de noviembre, el Primer Domingo del Adviento, notarás algunos cambios menores en la Misa: cuando la distribución de la Comunión está completa, se regresaran los Ministros de la Eucaristía a la sacristía de la capilla con las copas y las paneras para que sean purificados después de la Misa por el diácono. Esta es una de las opciones ofrecidas en la Instrucción General del Misal Romano y que alisar un poco el flujo de la Misa. También, a la Misa del domingo a las 5:00 PM, el traslado del Santísimo Sacramento tendrá lugar desde el Altar de la Iglesia hacia el Altar de la Capilla al final de la Santa Comunión. Por lo tanto vamos a mostrar cada vez más claramente que el Señor que adoramos en la Exposición del Santísimo Sacramento es el mismo Señor a quien recibimos en la Sagrada Comunión. A partir de 2017, todos los ministros litúrgicos tendrán períodos de dos años de servicio. Al final de su mandato, cada ministro tendrá un respiro del ministerio de un año para reflexionar sobre cómo Dios está llamando a esa persona para servir a la familia parroquial de San Pablo y la Iglesia en general. Si se considera la mejor, el ministro puede pedir retomar este ministerio después de un año.
PALABRAS DE AGRADECIMIENTO Ofrecemos nuestra gratitud a los Padres Michael Carmody, David Bergeron, Dominic Pistone, David Bittner, y nuestro Padre Jim Bradley por celebrar las Misas en la ausencia del Padre Wencil por la Peregrinación a la Tierra Santa. ¡Verdaderamente somos bendecidos de hubo tenido su ayuda!
Silver Linings Bible Study group will meet in Rooms 10/11 at 1 PM Thursday, December 1st.
There will be one Mass on Thanksgiving Day, November 24th, at 9 AM after which the entire parish facility will close until 3 PM on Saturday, November 26th, to allow Father Wencil and the entire staff to spend the holiday with their families.
Please bring with you to Mass a loaf of bread and place it in the baskets around the sanctuary. Father Wencil will bless the bread and then invite those who brought bread to take a random loaf home to their Thanksgiving Table.

Ministry and Continuing Education for Adults Because Our Faith is too Rich to have ever Learned it All…
Contact Heidi Clark, Director of Adult Ministry, 281.333.3891, Ext. 328 or [email protected] for more information.
Adult faith formation at St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church is centered around the understanding that living
“The Way” taught by Jesus Christ is a life-long, evolving journey, involving both effort and decision. To enable adults to explore the
faith and deepen their knowledge of God’s Word, we provide many opportunities to come together in a learning environment. As a
diverse community with a small parish feel, we know it is important to walk that journey with others and to share what we have
learned along the way.
Silver Linings Meeting Our monthly program for parishioners 55 and older meets again on Monday, November 14, at 1 PM in room 10. Our guest speaker is Deacon Scott Daniel and we’ll have a potluck luncheon.
Pope Francis: The Fabric of Society
“Jesus wants us to touch human misery, to touch the suffering flesh of others. He hopes that we will stop looking for those personal or communal niches which shelter us from the maelstrom of human misfortune and instead enter into the reality of other people’s lives and know the power of tenderness. Whenever we do so, our lives become wonderfully complicated.
Evangelii Gaudium
Weekly Zumba Classes Join us for fun, energizing Zumba classes. They take place in Founders Hall at 10 AM on Saturday. A $5 donation will go toward the support of various adult ministry programs. All are welcome, regardless of your fitness level. For details, contact [email protected].
Baptism Volunteers Needed This is a volunteer need that doesn’t take a lot of time but can make a HUGE difference in the lives of those you minister to. Our baptism ministry team is in need of parents to help prepare parents and godparents as they seek baptism for their children. The classes meet one Sunday afternoon every other month. Training and all materials are provided. Easy peasy. Contact Heidi at [email protected] to volunteer.

Gifts of Securities: Donating stock to support the mission of your parish or the Archdiocese can offer even more tax benefits than writing a check. As stock prices increase, so do the taxes you owe on the long-term capital gain, which are generally charged at a rate of 15%. But when you donate publicly traded stock you’ve owned for more than one year to a qualified charitable organization such as your parish or the Archdiocese, you enjoy two major tax benefits:
• You will be exempt from paying capital gains t axes on any increase in value—taxes you would pay if you had otherwise sold the securities.
• You are entitles to a federal income tax deduction based on the current fair market value of the securities, regardless of their original cost.
