Dear sisters and brothers in Christ:
Welcome back, religious education students and parents! How wonderful it is to
look at all the children coming back to meet Jesus and to learn about the words of
God! Seeing our religious education classrooms decorated in preparation for the
students and witnessing the enthusiasm of both students and catechists, gives me
great hope that faith in God is actively alive and will continue to dwell on earth
regardless of the current trend of secularism. Thank you students and parents who
participated in the parents’ meeting. I deeply appreciate all catechists, their aides,
and the volunteers who organize and translate our meetings. I am certain that your
generosity and stewardship of time and talent have already conveyed the meaning
of God’s love and goodness to our children.
Most of all, it was wonderful to observe parents with their children who came to
worship the Lord at the weekend Masses. I was very happy to see that the sanctuary
was packed, that the faithful were singing with one voice, and that we shared with each other the sign of peace with a happy smile. Cer-
tainly, what Jesus said in the Gospel the last week was true: “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the
midst of them.” (Mt 18:20) Jesus is indeed with us, and we can experience it when we worship the Lord together in the church.
Although I am joyful to see that our religious program is about to begin, I would like to inform you of a change in our staff. Rita Motl,
who has been our Director of Religious Education, is no longer working for us. I am grateful to Mrs. Motl for all of her hard work and
her legacy with our Religious Education Program. I am confident that her genuine love of children and hard work will resonate in our
future program. Please pray for her as she goes through this transition period. I also ask for your prayers for a successful religious pro-
gram so that Christ may reach every heart of our children through the works of our catechists.
I humbly ask you to pray for our sisters and brothers who are persecuted because of their Christian faith in Iraq. As you probably know,
Islamic State militants have forced thousands of Iraqi Christians from their homes over the past few weeks. Some have also been brutally
attacked, murdered or enslaved. Pope Francis recently addressed them: “You are in the heart of the Church; she suffers with you and is
proud of you; you are her strength and the concrete and authentic witnesses to her message of salvation, forgiveness and love. The Lord
bless you and protect you!” Although we are many, we are indeed one body in Christ. (Rom 12:5) Their suffering is our suffering. Their
loss is our loss. Let us pray that the Good Lord will touch and heal their wounded hearts and minds. Most of all, let us pray for God’s
peace on earth, especially all the places where conflict and war are present among people.
May the peace of Christ dwell in us and in all the humanity! Amen.
In Christ,
Notice: I would like to inform you that food pantry is open the LAST Saturday of each month, not the 4th Saturday nor Sunday. I apolo-
gize for any confusion. If you are interested in this particular ministry, please contact Deacon Dave Shoemake for further information.
Thank you.

Please consider the Pope’s prayer intentions for the
Month of September:
That the mentally disabled may receive the love and help they need for a dignified life …
Para que los discapacitados mentales reciban el amor y la ayuda que necesitan para llevar una vida digna ...
That Christians, inspired by the Word of God, may serve the poor and suffering … Para que los Cristianos inspirados en la Palabra de Dios, se comprometan al servicio de
los pobres y de los que sufren ...
Sept. 13-14 -- Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross The Scripture readings for the great feast remind us of Christ’s merciful love and sacrifice for us. Jesus emp-
tied himself for our sake and gave his life for our salvation. How do we mirror God’s love in our world? What
sacrifices are we willing to make? Are they only for those near to us, our family and friends? How can we
show merciful and sacrificial love for strangers or even enemies? What act of love or sacrifice can you make
for the poor, a prisoner, an enemy this week in gratitude for the great love God has shown to you?
Septiembre 13-14 -- Fiesta de la Exaltación de la Santa Cruz Las lecturas de la Escritura para esta gran fiesta nos recuerdan del amor misericordioso de Cristo y de su sacri-
ficio por nosotros ¿Cómo somos reflejo del amor de Dios en nuestro mundo? ¿Cómo podemos mostrar amor
misericordioso y dispuesto al sacrificio a extraños o incluso a enemigos? ¿Qué acto de amor o sacrificio puede
usted hacer por los pobres, un prisionero, un enemigo esta semana en gratitud por el gran amor que Dios le ha
mostrado?

Pastoral Plan update
The Core Team presented the first draft of the new Pastoral Plan to the Deans on Aug. 22. The
deans made comments and recommendations for this first draft. In particular, they:
Highlighted the need for the plan to offer particular objectives that can be accomplished and a way to measure
success;
Underscored the importance of an implementation process that includes strategies to stay focused on the plan
during the implementation time period; and
Affirmed the three strategic priorities and supported the use of media resources to communicate the plan and
information about it.
The deans received copies of a PowerPoint presentation that can be shared with the priests in their deanery. Eve-
ryone present was very aware that the diocese is currently experiencing significant demographic changes that will
affect the work of the diocese for many years and that the plan’s main purpose should guide us as we continue the
mission of Jesus Christ. The team from Essential Conversations is now in the process of working on the second
draft, which the Steering Committee will review at their September meeting. To stay updated on the Pastoral Plan,
please connect with the diocesan website.

Saturday, September 20: Discerning God's Will In specific circumstances
of life and in major decisions, we wonder, “What is God’s will for me?” Normally we do not hear an exterior voice; but through prayer, we can be guided to listen to an interior
voice. The Apostles of Interior Life are Religious Sisters from Italy trained in Ignatian Spirituality. They will lead the retreat “Discerning God’s Will” on Sept. 20 at Cedarbrake Catholic Retreat Center in Belton. The sisters serve at St. Mary Catholic Center in College Station and will share their wisdom and experience. Cost is $35 and includes lunch. To register call (254) 780-2436 or go online to www.austindiocese.org/cedarbrake
Sabado, Septiembre 20: Discernir La Voluntad de Dios En circunstancias concretas de la vida y en las deci-
siones importantes, nos preguntamos, "¿Cuál es la voluntad de Dios para mí?" o "¿A dónde me lleva Dios?" Normalmente no escuchamos una voz exterior; Pero a través de la oración y el silencio, nos podemos guiar para escuchar con los "oídos de nuestros corazones," como San Benito dice a una voz interior. El padre Alex Caudillo, pastor Asociado en la iglesia de St. Williams en Round Rock, TX presentará este día en español. Costo es $35 y incluye almuerzo. 254-780-2436 o www.austindiocese.org/cedarbrake
