Parish Stewardship
If someone who has worldly means sees a brother in need and refuses him compassion, how can the love of God remain in him? Children, let us love not in word or speech but in deed and truth.- 1 John 3: 17-18

Generous Giving
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.
Hour Week Year 3% 5% 7.5% 10% $7.70 $300 $15,600 $9.00 $15.00 $22.50 $30.00 $15.00 $600 $31,200 $18.00 $30.00 $45.00 $60.00 $25.00 $1,000 $52,000 $30.00 $50.00 $75.00 $100.00 $35.00 $1,400 $72,800 $42.00 $70.00 $105.00 $140.00 $50.00 $2,000 $104,000 $60.00 $100.00 $150.00 $200.00 $75.00 $3,000 $156,000 $90.00 $150.00 $225.00 $300.00 -

From The Pastor's Desk
What a week to review! Last week we Fathers went on our annual silent retreat with the members of the community of the Schoenstatt Fathers. We are grateful to all the Fathers who came to fill in for us.
Now this last week proved to be a particularly difficult week for one of our parish families, the Hotz family, who lost their little five year old Jonathan. His unexpected sudden death really touched our hearts in so many ways. We feel the deep pain of such a great loss with each one of the parents and of all the other sibblings. It is certainly not easy to say yes to God's will in such a situation.
When we lose someone precious like that we are reminded of the fact that God gives and God takes away. Each person, each child, is a tremendous gift of God with his and her own special talents and with their specific mission in life. Jonathan was such a joyful, energetic young man; loving, outgoing, with great eagerness to conquer life. And I am sure he will continue exactly like that in heaven. He will be growing so much more joyfully in heaven and will certainly not forget about all of us left behind.
Let us call on him! Let us ask him to help us in our grieving and missing him so much. -

Knights of Columbus
This year's Texas Rally for Life is scheduled for Saturday, January 26. This year's march and rally commemorates the 461h anniversary of the tragic Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision that made abortion legal throughout all nine months of pregnancy. Our Knights of Columbus council would like to issue an open invitation to anyone who would like to attend. For more information on the Rally for Life, go to texasrallyforlife.org. If you are interested in joining our council at the rally, please call My Van-Dinh at 737 24 7-0033. Let's march together as a St. Paul Catholic Church community.
The Knights of Columbus conducted a poster contest for children ages 5-11 with the theme "Keep Christ in Christmas" and this was an excellent way to get the young people in our parish thinking about the true spiritual meaning of Christmas. We want to thank Kristina Ciria, the Religious Education instructors and all the children who participated this year as we received over 30 entries. Please congratulate this year's contestant winners: Francesca Duran, Kevin Padilla, Maya Zarry, Dulce Espinoza Gonzalez, Jonathan Facio, Brad Von Quintus, Jimena Ochoa, Amy Josselin, Keishnette Ramos and John Rivera. -

Prayer for Our Troops
Almighty and eternal God, those who take refuge in you will be glad and forever will shout for joy. Protect our troops as they discharge their duties. Protect them with the shield of your strength and keep them safe from all evil and harm. May the power of your love enable them to return home in safety, that with all who love them, they may ever praise you for your loving care. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
