November 12 & 13, 2016 / 12 & 13 de noviembre, 2016Thirty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time

Jubilee Year of MercyNovember 13, 2016Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time

As this Jubilee Year of Mercy comes to an end, Jesus’ first dis-ciples ask what every age seems to wonder about the end of the

world: “Teacher, when will this happen? What sign will there be?” (Luke 21:7). But instead of what we’d like to know, Jesus tells us what we need to know. Don’t be terrified by natural disasters, human violence, personal sufferings. Because God’s mercy abounds, all is grace. “It will lead to your giving testimony” (21:13). So Malachi promises “the sun of justice with its healing rays” (Malachi 3:20a); and Jesus describes how we should welcome the end: “Stand erect and raise your heads, because your

redemption is at hand” (Gospel Acclamation, Luke 21:28). Rather than worrying about ourselves and the future’s perils, both Jesus’ gospel and Pope Francis’ Jubilee Year of Mercy bid us go forth to spend our lives proclaiming God’s promise of boundless mercy, but also translating God’s mercy into living deeds of unfailing compassion and enduring comfort.

Año Jubilar de la Misericordia13 de noviembre de 2016Trigésimo Tercer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

Al ir concluyendo este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia, los primeros discípulos de Jesús preguntan lo que en cada época parece preguntarse acerca del fin del mundo: “Maestro, ¿cuándo va a ser eso?” (Lucas 21:7). Pero en lugar de lo que nos gus-taría saber, Jesús nos dice lo que necesitamos conocer. No se preocupen por desastres naturales, la violencia de las personas, el sufrimiento humano. Debido a la abundante misericordia de Dios, todo es gracia. “Esto les servirá para dar testimonio de mí” (21:13). El pro-feta Malaquías promete que “brillará el sol de justicia, que les traerá la salvación en sus rayos” (Malaquías 3:20a); y, Jesús describe cómo debemos recibir el fin “Levántense, alcen la cabeza; se acerca su liberación” (Lucas 21:28). En lugar de estarnos preocupándonos por nosotros mismos y los riesgos del futuro, tanto el Evangelio de Jesús como el Año Jubilar de la Misericordia convocado por el Papa Francisco nos invitan a avanzar pasando nuestra vida proclamando la promesa de la abundante misericordia de Dios e interpre-tándola en obras vivas de compasión inagotable y consolación renovada.

Safety and Security Ministry

The Safety and Security Ministry meets regularly with our pastor, Father David to help provide a safe environment for everyone who comes on the grounds for prayer, learning and service. The members are parishioners with a background in law enforcement, fire fighting, safety, security, and risk management. At a recent meeting, the members proposed parking lot safety guidelines, which will help to promote safety on the premises.

• Do not leave car phones, handbags or any valuable item where they can be seen in your vehicle. Always store these items away from sight.

• Do not leave purchased merchandise in your vehicle where it can be seen.

• Before sunrise and sunset, park and walk in well lighted areas. Please consider that for the evening Mass on Saturday and Sunday, you will exit the church when it is dark outside.

• Stay alert to your surroundings, including people who are walk-ing to their vehicles and to the movement of traffic.

• Before getting into your vehicle look inside and around.

• Remember to pray before you begin a journey.

My holy guardian angel, ask the Lord to bless the journey which I undertake, that it may profit the health of my soul and body; that I may reach its end; and that, returning safe and sound, I may find all at home in good health. Guard, guide and preserve us. Amen.

Ministerio de Seguridad

El Ministerio de Seguridad se reúne regularmente con nuestro párroco, el Padre David para ayudar a proveer un ambiente seguro para todos los que vienen a orar, a aprender o para proveer servicios. Estos miembros son feligreses con experiencia en la aplicación de la ley, extinción de incendios, seguridad, y gestión de riesgos. En una reciente reunión, los miembros propusieron pautas de seguridad para el estacionamiento, lo que ayudará a promover la seguridad en nuestras instalaciones.

• No deje su teléfono, bolsos o cualquier objeto valioso donde se pueda ver en su vehículo. Guarde estos artículos lejos de vista.

• No deje bolsas con mercancía en su vehículo donde se pueda ver.

• Antes del amanecer y el atardecer, estaciónese y camine por áreas bien iluminadas. Por favor considere que después de las Misas vespertinas los sábados y domingos se saldrá de la Igle-sia cuando ya este oscuro.

• Manténgase atento(a) a su entorno, incluyendo, a personas que caminan a sus vehículos y a la circulación de tráfico.

• Fíjese adentro y alrededor, antes de subir a su vehículo.

• Recuerde orar antes de comenzar su jornada.

Santo Ángel de la Guarda, pídele al Señor que bendiga el camino que emprendo, para que beneficie la salud de mi alma y cuerpo; para que pueda llegar a mi destino; y que al regresar sano y salvo, pueda encontrar en casa a todos en buena salud. Ilumínanos, protégenos, y dirígenos. Amén.



Dear parishioners,Improvements are being made on our church grounds. Over

the past several weeks, branches have been pruned from the trees and shrubs. The flowerbeds have been cultivated to promote a healthy environment for all the plants. Additionally, the drainage areas in the back of the church property, behind the Chapel, have been cleared so that the rainwater can flow out of the parking area.

The church sign is restored. The interior was cleaned, including the white panels and letters. New lights bulbs were installed. And, the exterior Plexiglas panels, which had become clouded because of sunlight exposure were replaced.

These improvements help to promote the health and vitality of our parish community. For whenever we come to Mass and to participate in various activities and when people drive by on Main Street and see the church, we become aware that we are tending to our responsibility to take good care of what has been handed on to us for the glory of God.

The project to correct the flow of rainwater and drainage around the church, both from the roof in relation to additional gutters and downspouts and the slope of the ground around the perimeter of the church is going well. It is a long process, which requires the coordination of different components, which will lead, in time to the replacement of the carpet in the church.

I am asking for you to volunteer your time and energy to help manually dig around the church to clear the area for better drainage. This is an important need and if we can count on the volunteer work of our parishioners, then we will not be required to pay a company to do this work. Please prayerfully consider helping. The contact persons are James Quezada 512-845-3782, Lee Verver 512-659-9466, Art Estrada 512-909-0358 and Pedro Balderas 512-529-7931.

In May of this year, a special program was begun in our parish: Formed.org. This is a website which contains an amazing number of media to help persons and groups to grow in our Catholic Faith.

During the Mass today, special information and directions will be given to enable all of our parishioners to participate by accessing this website. Please consider registering and getting involved in the various programs of prayer, study and discipleship. I believe you will be impressed with the quality and practicality of Formed.org.

Father David.

Queridos feligreses,Se hacen mejoras en las instalaciones de nuestra Iglesia. En las últimas

semanas, han sido podadas ramas de árboles y arbustos. Se han cultivado la tierra para promover un ambiente saludable para las plantas. Además, las áreas de drenaje en la parte posterior de la propiedad de la Iglesia, detrás de la Capilla, se han limpiado para que fluya el agua de lluvia fuera de la zona de estacionamiento.

El letrero de la Iglesia ha sido restaurado. El interior se ha limpiado, incluyendo los paneles blancos y letras. Se instalaron nuevas lámparas de luces. Y los paneles del exterior, de plexiglás, que se habían nublado por la luz del sol fueron substituidos.

Estas mejoras ayudan a promover la salud y la vitalidad de nuestra co-munidad parroquial. Cada vez que venimos a Misa y a participar en diversas actividades y cuando la gente conduce por la calle principal (Main) y ve la Iglesia, nos damos cuenta que estamos atendiendo nuestras responsabi-lidades de tomar buen cuidado de lo que ha sido entregado a nosotros para la gloria de Dios.

El proyecto para corregir el flujo de agua de la lluvia y del drenaje alre-dedor de la Iglesia, tanto del techo en lo referente a canales adicionales y bajadas de agua y anivelar la tierra alrededor del perímetro de la Iglesia va bien. Es un proceso largo, que requiere la coordinación de los varios com-ponentes, y el cual conducirá a su debido tiempo, el cambio de la alfombra en la Iglesia.

Les pido a los que puedan ayudar como voluntarios donando su tiempo y energía, para terminar de excavar manualmente alrededor de la Iglesia, para despejar el área y mejorar el drenaje. Esto es una necesidad impor-tante y si podemos contar con el trabajo voluntario de nuestros feligreses, entonces no se requerirá pagar a una empresa para hacer este trabajo. Por favor considere ayudarnos. Las personas de contacto son James Quezada, 512-845-3782, Lee Verver 512-659-9466, Art Estrada 512-909-0358 y Pedro Balderas 512-529-7931.

En el mes de mayo de este año, se inició un programa especial en nues-tra parroquia: Formed.org. Este es un sitio Web que contiene una increíble cantidad de medios de comunicación para ayudar a las personas y grupos a crecer en nuestra Fe Católica.

Hoy durante la Misa, se distribuirá información y se darán instrucciones que permitirán que todos nuestros feligreses puedan participar accediendo a este sitio Web. Por favor considere inscribirse y participar en los programas de oración, estudio y discipulado. Creo que usted quedará impresionado con la calidad y practicidad de Formed.org.

Padre David.
