Holy waterMany times people come to church looking for holy water to take back to their home. This is a beautiful practice. Rather than filling the con-tainers from the baptismal font please note that there is a silver container in the nar-thex with a spout that makes it easier to fill containers. We encourage you to use this source. Thank you!
Agua BenditaMuchas veces la gente vi-ene a la Iglesia buscando agua bendita para llevar a sus hogares. ¡Esto es hermoso! Por favor observen que hay un recipiente de metal en el nártex (o entrada principal de la Iglesia), con una llave que facilita llenar los envases, en lugar de usar la fuente bautis-mal. Les animamos que utilice este recipiente. ¡Gracias!

Sponsor-A-Youth! This year the cost for DCYC has increased. Many students would like the opportunity to participate but their families struggle financially. DCYC gives our youth an opportunity to learn about and grow in the Catholic faith with over 2000 youth throughout the diocese. Youth will participate in adoration, reconciliation, work-shops and mass with the Bishop. Their relationship with Christ will be strengthen and they will return to our parish filled with the fire of the Holy Spirit! This year’s DCYC theme is based on St. Augustine of Hippo, doctor of the Church. St. Augustine teaches us about the power of conversion, forgiveness, and God’s love. “For you have made us for yourself, and our heart is restless until it rests in you.” Please keep our youth, our ministry team and our volunteers in your prayers as we plan and prepare for this year’s DCYC and please prayerfully consider sponsoring a youth this year. If you are interested in sponsoring a youth or making a partial donation or have questions, please contact the Religious Education & Youth Ministry Office at 512-312-2520.

SANTA CRUZ CATHOLIC SCHOOL/ESCUELA CATOLICA
News from the Principal’s DeskBeginning on the last Sunday in January, Santa Cruz Catholic
School will be celebrating the 42nd anniversary of National Catholic Schools Week. Starting with a School Mass on Sunday, January 31st at 11:00 a.m., we have a whole week of activities planned to demonstrate what our students are accomplishing and to celebrate the community we’ve built to educate tomorrow’s citizens and church leaders. This year’s National Catholic Schools Week theme is based on community: “Catholic Schools: Communities of Faith, Knowledge and Service.” The theme highlights the fact that, not only are schools’ communities themselves, they are also part of many other communities, includ-ing families, parishes, cities and our country. Each day of the week we will celebrate a different facet of our school community: Super Student Day, Donuts with Dads, Muffins with Moms, Goodies with Grandparents, Great Times in America’s History and Family Potluck Dinner. It will be a fun-filled week!.
Have a blessed week,Mrs. Flanagan

Noticias del Escritorio de la DirectoraComenzando el último domingo de enero, la escuela Católica Santa
Cruz estará celebrando el 42 Aniversario de la Semana Nacional de las Escuelas Católicas. Empezamos con la Misa escolar el domingo, 31 de enero a las 11:00AM, luego tendremos una semana de actividades para demostrar lo que están logrando nuestros alumnos y para celebrar la comunidad que hemos construido para educar a los ciudadanos y líderes de la Iglesia del mañana. El tema de la semana de escuelas Católicas nacionales de este año se basa en la comunidad: “Escuelas Católicas: Comunidades de Fe, Conocimiento y Servicio.” El tema recalca el hecho de que no sólo son comunidades escolares, sino también forman parte de muchas otras comunidades, como familias, parroquias, ciudades y nuestro país. Cada día de la semana vamos a celebrar una fase diferente de nuestra comunidad escolar: día del estudiante Súper, Donuts con los papás, Muffins con mamás, golosinas con los abuelos, grandes momentos en la historia de los Estados Unidos y se tendrá una cena familiar. ¡Será una semana llena de diversión!
Bendiciones,Sra. Flanagan

Próximo Retiro de mujeres CHRP20 y 21 de febrero, 2016
Les pido que por favor atendamos este encuentro, de dos días, con nosotras mismas y con Jesús Nuestro Salvador, Rey de Reyes y Señor de Señores. Con temas súper importantes como la Conversión y Vida Nueva en Cristo Jesús, una vida de Oración. En Juan 3:3-5 Jesús le dijo: En verdad te digo que el que no nazca de nuevo, no puede ver el Reino de Dios. Nicodemo le dijo: ¿cómo puede un hombre nacer siendo ya viejo? ¿Acaso puede entrar por segunda vez en el vientre de su madre y nacer? Jesús respondió: En verdad te digo que el que no nace del Agua y del Espíritu no puede entrar al Reino de Dios. Hermanas Dios Nuestro Señor nos está invitando para estar con él ese fin de semana y revestirnos de ese hombre nuevo y despojarnos del hombre viejo, y es algo tan bello sentir Su presencia en nuestro corazón, y es tan hermoso decirle si Señor aquí estoy para lo que me necesites. Gracias a cada una de ustedes por su tiempo y decirle que si a Nuestro Dios.
That Man is You! - We are meeting this Wednesday at 6:30PM in room ED116 (Library). We will also meet Thursday mornings at 5:30AM in the Youth Room (room 120). If you are planning on joining us Thursday morning, please park on the east side of the chapel, for easy access to our meeting location!
