WOMEN OF FAITH is a women's spiritual enrichment group that explores the
feminine genius of being created in God's image. This is a great way for women of all walks of life to meet and share. The evening Women of Faith group will be starting again in the fall. The first meeting will be September 12th from 7:00 to 8:30 pm in the school library. We will be reading and discussing Four Teresa's by Gina Loehr. Contact Vickie at vicsmailbox@sbcglobal.net for more information. CATHOLIC SCRIPTURE STUDY begins Wednesday, September 6th from 9:30-
11:30am in the Church. This popular scripture study program has been offered at St. Louis for 18 years and both men and women have enjoyed learning more about their faith. The first part of the 2017-2018 study will focus on Mary. Beginning November 15th the focus will switch to a study of the Gospel of Luke, ending May 9th. Pre-registration is required so enough materials can be purchased, and because participants are assigned to study groups that start together on the first day of class.

Mrs. Jackie Padilla is the science teacher for 7th and 8th grade. This is Jackie's first year as part of the St. Louis faculty, however she has been a member of St. Louis Parish since 2004. She has two children that attend the school, and a 3rd that is enrolled at ECDC. Jackie received her B.S. in Chemistry from the University of Texas at Austin in 2004. She worked in the environmental sector for 5 years before pursuing her teaching certificate. Jackie worked at Travis High School in Austin teaching Chemistry and Integrated Physics and Chemistry to 10th and 11th graders. Jackie returns to teaching this year after taking several years off to start a family. Jackie has served in many ministries at St. Louis throughout the years including Breakfast Club, Hand Bells, Children's Liturgy, and The One in the Lord Program under the Adult and Family Ministry. She could not be more thrilled to be a part of the school. Mrs. Emily Loontjer joins the St. Louis faculty as the new 5th and 6th grade Social Studies and Language Arts teacher. She grew up in Catholic schools, attending St. Pius and Incarnate Word in San Antonio. After moving to Austin, Emily earned her Bachelor's and Master's degrees from the University of Texas at Austin, both in Education. She began her career in the Round Rock school district, where she taught middle school Language Arts for eleven years. This was a wonderful experience, but Emily longed for the educational environment she remembered growing up one that was centered in her Catholic faith. Working at St. Louis is truly a dream come true for her! When not at school, Emily spends time with her family and their pack of pets two dogs, two cats, and one chicken. Both of her children attend St. Louis, and her family are parishioners of the church. One of their favorite family traditions is Mexican food and movie night every Friday. Emily loves to read, and she loves sharing that joy with everyone around her.
