Are you a First Responder?Santa Cruz is proud of all of our parish first responders. We only have to watch the evening news to be reminded of the daily risks our fire fighters, emergency service responders, and law enforce-ment officers face in order to provide for a safer community for us. In an effort to recognize the dedication of these parishioners in the future, Santa Cruz asks that anyone that actively serves or has served in a first responder role contact Jim Blodgett (512) 847-0752 to provide contact information. Thanks again for all that you do to keep us safe here at Santa Cruz Church!

¡Permanezcan registrados en esta parroquia!
Con más de 2,775 hogares en la parroquia es una gran tarea mantener actualizados a todos nuestros feligreses. La parroquia de Santa Cruz es más grande que muchos de los pueblos en Texas.
Tratamos de actualizar nuestro censo cada año.
Los siguientes feligreses se mantendrán registrados AUTOMÁTICAMENTE para el año 2016:üAquellos que utilizan sus sobres para
donativos en efectivoüAquellos que usan cheques para
hacer su donaciónüAquellos que utilizan giros bancarios
(retiro automático)Actualmente tenemos aproximadamente
1,120 familias que no usan ninguna de las opciones ya mencionadas. Por lo tanto, es difícil saber si estas familias todavía están comprometidas para con la parroquia.
Les pido a estas familias que deseen per-manecer como miembros en el año 2016, que por lo menos regresen UN SOBRE VACÍO en la colecta, de ahora hasta el 1ro de enero, 2016.
Nuestros dos sacerdotes tienen la respon-sabilidad de cuidar de más de 14,000 personas. Todo lo que le pedimos (no es dinero) es la “intención de compromiso” con un sobre vacío antes del fin del año.
Por desgracia, quienes no respondan de esta manera mínima, se eliminarán de la lista de feligreses activos en el 2016.

SANTA CRUZ CATHOLIC SCHOOL/ESCUELA CATOLICANews from the Principal’s Desk
In last weekend’s bulletin a summary of our Parish Fiesta was made available. What a great success it was! This success would not have been possible without the leadership of our school Fiesta committee members and Michelle Quintanilla, our Director of Advancement, who provided support and communication among all of the groups involved in making the Fiesta a success. My heartfelt thanks to ev-eryone within our parish and school community for a job well done!
Our student were busy preparing for our first School Mass held this past Sunday at the 11:00 Mass. At this Mass, our students are the choir, lectors, altar servers, and gift bearers. We will have two more Masses this school year where we will participate in a similar way, one in January and one in April. These Masses are always the highlight of our week.
We had three families who have children in our school and are parishioners that suffered great losses from the flooding rains two weeks ago. Two families lost their homes and a majority of the con-tents and one family suffered a lot of water damage. If you would like to help, we are accepting donations at the school office. Gift cards or monetary donations are greatly appreciated.
Have a blessed week,Mrs. Flanagan

Noticias del Escritorio de la DirectoraEn el boletín de la semana pasada usted encontrará un informe de nuestra
Fiesta parroquial. ¡Qué gran éxito tuvimos! Este éxito no hubiera sido posible sin el liderazgo de los miembros del Comité escolar del Festival y de Michelle Quintanilla, nuestra Directora de Avance, quien brindó apoyo y comunicación entre todos los grupos participantes en el éxito de nuestra Fiesta. ¡Mi más sincero agradecimiento a todos dentro de nuestra comunidad parroquial y escolar por un trabajo muy bien hecho!
Nuestros alumnos estuvieron ocupados preparándose para nuestra primera Misa escolar que se celebró el domingo pasado a las 11:00AM. En esta Misa, nuestros estudiantes fueron el coro, lectores, monaguillos y portadores de las ofrendas. Tendremos dos misas más este año donde participaremos en una manera similar, una en enero y otra en el mes de abril. Estas Misas son siempre el punto culminante de nuestra semana.
Tenemos tres familias que, tienen hijos en nuestra escuela y son feligreses aquí, que sufrieron grandes pérdidas por las inundaciones y lluvias hace dos semanas. Dos familias perdieron sus hogares y la mayoría de los contenidos y una familia sufrió mucho daño por el agua. Si le gustaría ayudar, estamos aceptando donaciones en la oficina. Tarjetas de regalo o donaciones monetarias son apreciadas.
Bendiciones,Sra. Flanagan

St. Vincent de Paul Society/Sociedad de San Vicente de PaulThe Society of St. Vincent de Paul Santa Cruz Conference is cur-rently working on the ANGEL TREE Program for this Christ-mas Season. Letters have been sent to our friends in need, whom we have served, in our community. These families have children 12 and under who will benefit from the generosity of the parishioners of Santa Cruz. Again this year we will also have Angel Tags for the families of the children. If you are aware of families in need please refer them to the St. Vincent de Paul cell number (512)-415-4012.
Look for the Angel Tags on the Angel Tree in the church narthex the weekend of November 28 and 29, 2015. Adopting a tag, representing a child, is a great way to teach your children what the season is really all about. And for those of us who no longer have children at home, what a better way to reach out to the Christ Child than by helping out others.
Thank you and May God Bless you this Christmas Season.Members of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Santa Cruz
Conference.
La Sociedad de San Vicente de Paul, conferencia de Santa Cruz, actualmente está trabajando en el programa del ÁRBOL DEL ÁNGEL para esta temporada
de Navidad. Se han enviado cartas a nuestros amigos(as) en necesidad, a quienes hemos servido anteriormente, en nuestra comunidad. Estas familias tienen hijos de 12 años y meno-res que se beneficiaran de la generosidad de los feligreses de Santa Cruz. De nuevo se tendrán, este año, etiquetas de Ángel para las familias de los niños. Si usted sabe de alguna familia en necesidad, en nuestra comunidad de fe, por favor refiéralos a la Sociedad de San Vicente de Paul al teléfono celular (512) 415-4012.
Busque las etiquetas del Ángel en el Árbol del Ángel en el nártex de la Iglesia el fin de semana del 28 y 29 de noviembre, 2015. El adoptar una etiqueta, representando a un niño, es una gran manera de enseñar a sus hijos lo que realmente es la temporada. Y para aquellos de nosotros que ya no tenemos niños en casa, qué mejor manera de acercarnos al niñito Jesús,
que ayudando a otros en necesidad.Gracias y que Dios los bendiga esta temporada Navideña.Miembros de la Sociedad de San Vicente de Paul, Conferencia de Santa
Cruz.

Men invited to consider the diaconateHave you recently become aware of a desire to deepen your faith life, but not sure why? Do you feel that your heart is being moved inexpli-cably in a new or bold way lately? Have you felt of late a greater need to know Christ more intimately, or a growing desire to follow him more fully, for some unknown reason? For no apparent reason, has your awareness increased recently of the needs of the materially and spiritually poor - and perhaps even sensed a greater desire to respond? Do you live a mature faith, love the church, and follow church teaching, but have a nagging sense that there’s something missing?
If you answered yes to some of these questions, and you are a man between 30 and 57, the Holy Spirit might be calling you to explore the permanent diaconate. Does that possibility excite you? Scare you? Puzzle you? Whatever your reaction, talk to your pastor about what’s going on in your heart. He’ll help you decide next steps.
The diaconal formation class of 2022 will begin forming in January 2017. Inquiry sessions are scheduled (in Spanish and English) from 2-5 p.m., at the following locations.
With your pastor’s permission, explore diaconal formation at one of these sessions. For info, call: Deacon Rey Garza at (512) 496-3141 or 512-949-2459; email [email protected]; or visit http://www.austindiocese.org/offices-ministries/offices/diaconal-ministry-office.

se les invita a los hoMbres a considerar el diaconado¿Se ha dado cuenta recientemente de un deseo de profundizar su vida de fe, pero no está seguro por qué? ¿Ha sentido últimamente una mayor necesidad de conocer más íntimamente a Cristo, o un creciente deseo de seguirle más plenamente, por alguna razón desconocida? ¿Sin razón aparente, recientemente se ha incrementado su preocupación sobre de las necesidades de los materialmente y espiritualmente pobres - y quizás incluso percibido un mayor deseo de responder? ¿Vive una fe madura, ama a la iglesia y sigue la enseñanza de la iglesia -pero tiene una sensación persistente de que hay algo que falta?
Si usted ha respondido si a algunas de estas preguntas, y es un hombre entre 30-57 años, El Espíritu Santo puede estar llamándole para explorar el diaconado permanente. ¿Le emociona esa posibilidad? ¿Le asusta? ¿Le confunde? Cualquiera que sea su reacción, hable con su párroco sobre lo que está sucediendo en su corazón. Él le ayudará a decidir los siguientes pasos:
La generación de formación diaconal del 2022 comenzará con la for-mación en enero del 2017. Las sesiones de consultas se programarán (en español e inglés) de 2-5 pm, en estos lugares.
Después de hablar con su párroco, y con su permiso, venga a explorar los próximos pasos en una de estas sesiones. Para obtener más información, llame al: Diácono Rey Garza al (512) 496-3141 o 512-949-24529, o por correo electrónico [email protected] o visite el sitio web http://www.austindiocese.org/offices-ministries/offices/diaconal-ministry-office.
