Living Our Faith

While many focus on the great achievements of the disciples in today’s gospel, Jesus’ last words to them are far more important. It is true that they, trusting in him, took almost nothing on their travels: a walking stick, sandals, and a tunic. It is true that they were granted remarkable power to cast out demons. However, none of it would have been possible if they had not first said ‘yes’ to Jesus.

He called on them and they answered. And as a result of their trust and love for him, their names were written in heaven. Jesus calls on us as well to have our names written in heaven so that we can see the wonders he has in store for us. More than earthly power and rewards…

Jesus says, this is a far greater reason to rejoice.

FAREWELL TO FR. DAVID TRAHAN | July 10th will be the

last weekend for Fr. David at St. Louis. He is being assigned as Pastor of Our Lady of Wisdom University Parish in San Marcos.

Fr. David has been with us two years, and has been a wonderful Parochial Vicar for the parish.

Please join us in wishing him well in his new assignment. There will be a dual reception on Sunday, July 10th in Wozniak Hall, following the 9:30am Mass, where we will honor Fr. David for his service with us, as well as celebrate the Ordination and First Mass of Father Payden Blevins. Please join us as we honor the religious vocations of both these men and the blessings they offer the Diocese of Austin through their devoted service!

Viviendo Nuestra Fe

Mientras muchos se enfocan en los logros de los discípulos en el evangelio de hoy, las últimas palabras de Jesús son mucho más importantes. Es cierto que los discípulos, confiando completamente en Jesús, llevaron muy poco en sus viajes: un bastón, sandalias, y una túnica. Es cierto que recibieron poder maravilloso para expulsar demonios. Sin embargo, nada de esto hubiera sido posible si no hubieran dicho “si” a Jesús. El los llamo, y ellos respondieron a Su llamado. Y debido a la confianza y el amor que tenían para El, sus nombres estas escritos en el cielo. Jesús nos llama a cada uno de nosotros para que nuestros nombres estén escritos en el cielo para que veamos las maravillas que tiene para nosotros. Mas que poder o premios mundanos...

Jesús dice, que esta es una gran razón para regocijar.

Congratulations to our new Co-Directors of Early Childhood, who have already been working together for many months. Effective mid-June, our ECDC program was officially led by the ECDC Director of Program Development (Dona LeBlanc) and the ECDC Director of Operations (Margaret English-Knipp). This is going to be an exciting new chapter in our ECDC program, allowing Dona to concentrate on her long standing talents as a Program Director and will give Margaret a role that she has long prepared for as Operations Director.

UNA ORACIÓN POR VENEZUELA | Venezuela está

pasando por la crisis humanitaria más grave de los últimos tiempos, incluso mayor que cualquiera causada por guerras o desastres naturales. El deterioro social y económico ha producido alarmantes cifras que muestran la peor catástrofe humana de la historia moderna. Hoy en día, muchos venezolanos están sufriendo fallas exorbitantes en salud, alimentación y todo tipo de suministros. En las últimas 2 semanas, las personas han manifestado desesperadas por encontrar comida. La respuesta del Gobierno ha sido la represión y la negación de la crisis. Muchos han sido heridos por la policía y/o la Guardia Nacional, y al menos 5 personas han muerto en esas manifestaciones. Como cuando enfrentamos cualquier situación difícil, además de reunir medicamentos y suministros, lo mejor que podemos hacer es ¡orar! El domingo 10 de julio todos son bienvenidos a participar en "Una oración por Venezuela". Nos reuniremos para la misa de 1:30 pm y después, en la iglesia principal, vamos a compartir una oración especial por Venezuela y su gente.

A PRAYER FOR VENEZUELA | Venezuela is going through

the most serious humanitarian crisis in recent times, even greater than any caused by wars or natural disasters. The social and economic deterioration has produced alarming figures that show the worst human disaster in modern history.

Nowadays, many Venezuelans are suffering exorbitant gaps in health, food and supplies. In the past 2 weeks, people have rioted desperate for finding food. The answer form the Government has been repression and denial of the crisis.

Many have been injured by the Police and/or National Guard, and at least 5 have died in those demonstrations. As when facing any difficult situation, besides gathering medicine and supplies, the best thing we can do is Praying! On Sunday, July 10, all are welcome to participate in “A prayer for Venezuela”.

We will gather for the 1:30 PM mass, and after it, in the main church, we will share a special prayer for Venezuela and its people.
