Dear friends, 
 

We celebrate the 32nd Sunday of ordinary time. During the month of November, we pray especially for all the deceased of our parish. I remind you that there is a book of remembrance for you to write the names of the deceased. On Wednesday, November 27th, we will have a special Mass to pray for them. 

The Gospel recounts Jesus' encounter with the Sadducees, who did not believe in the resurrection of the dead. They seek to test Jesus. But the Lord does not fall into the trap and answers that "we will be like angels" and that God is a "God of the living and not the dead". The story reminds us that life is a gift that allows us to be pilgrims in this world. The goal awaits us, and when we arrive, we will not need to continue walking, we will not need to keep looking, we will not have to form new families, because we will be a single family. 

The goal of life is heaven, the encounter with the Creator and our loved ones. Let us keep in mind that we were born to live forever, that we have been called to life, but eternal life. Pope Francis, on the sub­ject of this text, tells us: "Jesus opens our eyes to reality. We are called to happiness, to be blessed, and we are from the moment we put ourselves in the part of God, of his Kingdom, of the part of what is not ephemeral, but endures for eternal life." 

That is why our recognition sprouts from knowing we are children of God. We are capable of joy every time, by possessing the goods of this world, we do not make them idols to those who sell our souls, but we are able to share them with our brothers. 

This Sunday we have our second community breakfast in Grace Hall. Everyone is cordially invited to participate and have a moment of family and community! 

We are in the process of redesigning this website. During this process some links may not work as expected. We apologize in advance for those problems.  If it is an issue that can’t wait please contact the front office and we will do our best to help you.  Please check back often for updates, new pictures and dedicated pages.

To all our parishioners and surrounding friends who joined us for Bingo this past Saturday. It was a great success. We donated to the church $1,100. This was our best Bingo since we started. Our next Bingo will be on December 14th• We hope you can join us. We asked the players this past Saturday if we went up to $20 for 10 games which would increase the prizes to $100 each game with the cover being $125, all hands went up agreeing for this increase. 

Thank you from the Bingo Committee: Mary Rice, Maggie Garcia, Celia & Ramiro Segura, Roger Rice, Dora Lefebvre, Brenda Hester, Jennifer Monaco and Mary Alice Calderon. 

Most gracious and loving God, we pray for your favor, strength and wisdom at this point and time. Let us un­dertake with your grace the challenge of building on our property the community of St. Paul. Kindly grant us the best solutions for our needs. May our efforts, gifts, tal­ents and sacrifices be pleasing to you! Amen

In order to promote community building, St Paul parish would like to offer a break­fast every second Sunday after the 8.30am and 10.30am Masses. We have a team that will coordinate it with the expectation that each time one of our parish ministries can assist. The team members are: Karen Butler, Gina Rollman, Mary Rice, Maggie Garcia, Gloria Pena and Mary Alice Soto. Please attend the breakfast and bring along your family and friends. 

We will be accepting donations for poinsettias ($12.50 each) to dec­orate the Altar at Christmas. Special Intention rosters will be availa­ble at the table with intentions printed in the Christmas Bulletin. Next weekend, November 2nd and 3rd, we will be at the Church entrance to answer any questions and to accept donations (checks made payable to St. Paul Catholic Church or cash). Payment is requested when signing the roster. Contact Denise Gran: gran_denise@ yahoo.com or (512) 949-9437 with any questions. Thank you for your support of the Floral Ministry. 

All are invited to join us at 7pm on the 18th of each month to pray the rosary in the chapel and ask Mary to reign as Mother and Queen of our Parish. We hope you can join us on November 18th!
