At its core, tithing is an acknowledgement that the gifts or talents we have were entrusted to us by God, and are intended to be used for His glory and to spread the gospel. Tithing allows parishes to meet day-to-day needs, allocate funds for emergencies and fund future projects. It is understood, that as a community of faith, we are to provide for the needs of the Church. Fr. Hector Vega recommends that we fulfill the needs by tithing 5% of our income to the parish, 4% to charities of our choice, and 1% to the Diocese.

Listed below are tithing guidelines that may help you in deciding your recommended weekly sacrifice to the parish.
 

We are already in November, a month much quieter, may be a good time to prepare our­selves for the coming of our Lord (Advent). We begin the month with All Saints and con­tinue with the All Souls. This gives us the perspective how short our life is and how we need to focus on the eternal one! In our busy life, it is good to have moments of reflec­tion, even before things get worse.
 
Kyrzayda Rodriguez, 40 years, a popular blogger and fashion designer, died after a ten­month battle with stomach cancer in this September. She wrote from her hospital bed that is an eye-opener to today's thinking: "I have a brand-new car parked outside that can't do anything for me, I have all kinds of designers clothes, shoes and bags that can't do anything for me, I have money in my account that can't do anything for me, I have a big well-furnished house that can't do anything for me. Look, I'm lying here in a twin-size hospital bed; I can take a plane any day of the week if I like but that can't do anything for me ... So, do not let anyone make you feel bad for the things you don't have - but the things you have, be happy with those; if you have a roof over your head who cares what kind of furnature it is ... the most important thing in life is LOVE. Make sure you enjoy the ones you love once and don't give up on them They won't be there always and by the time you may need them back they might have gone to a different world."
 
We are having the Catholic Service Appeal this weekend that gives us an opportunity to prayerfully pledge how much we can share with the Diocese of Austin that it helps sus­tain Catholic schools, religious education, ministerial formation, and initiatives for life and peace and justice. 

As we look forward to having Thanksgiving in a couple of weeks, we thank God for his immense blessings upon us and seek his grace to share his blessings. 

This Sunday's Gospel reminds us of the truth that all commandments consist in loving both God and our neighbor. They are inseparable. We experienced this inseparable love in your generous donations on the World Mission Sunday and the collection taken up for the USCCB Hurricane Relief. 
My special prayers go to those who have been part of St. Paul's family from the begin­ning and are now resting in the Lord. May they rest in peace! Their example of faithful­ness and dedication may inspire us to love God and neighbor in our service at St. Paul! We gratefully remember all those who give themselves now at St. Paul. Thank you for being there! 

Online Religious Education is now closed. Please contact Kristina Ciria for K-8 and Special Sacraments classes and Bob Dugas for High School if you still need to register.  They can be reached through the parish office at 512-280-4460.

Join St. Paul Parish!

Our Welcome Ministry encourages you to join our parish.  What does parish membership offer?

Parish membership allows us to encounter Jesus.  Jesus promised us he would join us when we gather together - “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” Matt 18:20

Parish membership offers us a spiritual family where we encounter fellowship and community..  St. Paul said “Therefore, encourage one another and build one another up, as indeed you do.” 1 Thes 5:11

Registration forms are available in the foyer.  We are blessed to have you join our St. Paul Family.
