The mission of the Home and School Association is to build community and enhance the experience of the students at St. Louis Catholic School. Through the generous involvement and donations of school and parish families, the HSA was able to bring in a record amount through fundraising events this past year. This money is used to enhance the experience of our students, teachers, and families by beautifying the campus, upgrading the floors and locker rooms in the gymnasium, purchasing Promethean boards for the classrooms, developing our Makerspace, and contributing to the school’s operating budget.

The HSA would love for you to partner with us in furthering the mission of St. Louis Catholic School. Together we can experience what it is to be true servants in Christ while strengthening the relationships among families, teachers, staff, and most importantly our students.

THE ART OF SPIRITUAL DIRECTION

ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY THRIFT STORE

Spiritual direction is the art of walking with others and helping them notice what God is up to in their lives. It is not a profession but a ministry and—at its best—a mystery that unfolds over time. Spiritual directors have had the personal experience of working for several years with their own directors as well as formal training in the techniques and ethics of spiritual direction.

The Diocese of Austin recently recognized 24 newly qualified spiritual directors who have completed a two-year course through the Diocesan Institute of Spiritual Direction. A roster of qualified directors is maintained in the St. Louis parish office and in the Diocesan offices.

Others may be equally qualified through other programs, such as priests and deacons, but time constraints generally prevent them from entering into an open-ended process that may unfold over a long period of time.

If you are out shopping for your summer needs, come and visit the SVDP Thrift Store to get some great bargains! The store is located at 901 W. Braker, just off Lamar. It’s open Monday-Saturday from 10am-7pm. Lots of parking available. Come visit!

Selecting a qualified and appropriate spiritual director is important. Anyone can claim to be a spiritual director, but it’s best to work with someone your priest or another trusted advisor refers you to. You will be exploring issues close to the heart and spirit. Your director will have knowledge of the spiritual practices and experiences of many of the Church’s great teachers, and can help guide you through stages that can be confusing and troubling but which are normal and well-recognized.

Spiritual directors are bound by confidentiality.

Whatever is discussed in a session with a directee will not be revealed without permission or if there is reason to believe the directee or another person may be in danger of physical harm or abuse to self or others. Spiritual direction is not therapy or a substitute for it, but can often be a beneficial adjunct to it.

Sessions are generally held bi-monthly or monthly. Some directors charge fees for their time while others do not. A common practice is to ask the directee to donate a sum of money equal to one hour’s wages to the church or one of its ministries, for example the St. Louis School, Mobile Loaves and Fishes, St. Vincent de Paul of some other ministry within the church.
