Baptism Class in English rescheduled for Saturday, Sept. 16,
due to the Labor Day Weekend.
A couple of years ago, while an associate pastor, my pastor encouraged us associate pastors to hang around the weekend Masses and greet people as they left Mass. In this way we learned to connect -- albeit in a cursory way -- with the weekend crowds. As an introvert this assign-ment stretched me, especially at a such a large parish where 700-1700 people might exit one Sunday liturgy! I learned something about intentionality through this exercise.
Intentionality is key to discipleship. I witness your intentionality each weekend as you choose to drive a few blocks or many, many miles to be here at the Cathedral! And one way I like to honor this commitment is to greet you between Masses; to share a cup of coffee with you in the Bishop's Hall afterwards; to learn more about what makes you tick and how you love to serve God here at the Cathedral and in the world.
A great book about intentionality is Forming Intentional Disciples by Sherry Weddell, which we discussed in our recent Pastoral Council retreat. Weddell provides much food for thought in this book, which I highly recommend. ________________________________________________________
Hace unos años, cuando yo era un pastor asistente, el pastor principal nos incitaba a los pastores asistentes que estuviéramos presentes después de las misas los fines de semana para saludar a la gente mientras salían de la iglesia. De esta manera nos aprendimos—aunque de prisa—cómo hacer conexiones con los multitudes. Siendo la persona introvertida que soy, esta tarea me desafió, ¡especialmente porque yo servía en una parro-quia grande donde asistían entre 700 a 1700 personas en algunas liturgias dominicales! A través de esta tarea yo aprendí algo de la intencionalidad.
La intencionalidad está clave para el discipulado. Me doy cuenta de la intencionalidad de ustedes los fines de semana cuando los veo viajar o unas pocas cuadras o muchas millas para poder estar aquí en la catedral. Unas maneras en que me gusta honrar su compromiso es saludarles después de las misas, compartir un cafecito con ustedes en el Salón de los Obispos, y aprender sobre los intereses suyos y sobre las diferentes maneras en que les gusta servir a Dios aquí en la catedral y afuera en el mundo.
Un buen libro sobre la intencionalidad es Formación de Discípulos Intencionales, por Sherry Weddell. Hablamos de este libro en el reciente retiro del Concilio Pastoral. Weddell presenta mucho para reflexionar en este libro y se lo recomiendo mucho.
USCCB Calls for Special Collection.
Archbishop José H. Gomez, Vice President of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, is calling for an emergency collection to be taken up in response to the catastrophic damage and flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey here in Texas. In our diocese, Bishop Joe S. Vásquez has designated this weekend, Sept. 2-3, for the special second collection. Funds collected will be used to support the humanitarian and recovery efforts of Catholic Charities USA, and to provide pastoral and rebuilding support to impacted dioceses through the USCCB.

Bishops’ joint statement on Hurricane Harvey*
Statement of Bishop Joe S. Vásquez and Auxiliary Bishop Daniel E. Garcia of Austin concerning the catastrophic effects of Hurricane Harvey.
Together with our brother bishops, we urge all people of good will to be united with those suffering as a result of the catastrophic damage caused by Hurricane Harvey. We are deeply concerned about the parishes, communities and people that have been and will continue to be impacted by the storm. We urge all people to continue to follow the safety directives of the local emergency management officials. Even as the hurricane has been downgraded, some victims will feel the long-term effects of the storm system for years to come.
We encourage the faithful of the Diocese of Austin to be spiritually united with the communities affected through prayer and support. Because we believe that “God is our refuge and our strength, an ever-present help in distress” (Psalm 46:1), our neighbors require our resolve to help them in their time of need. Considering the unprecedented flooding and the disheartening circumstances in which our brothers and sisters find themselves, we are reminded that Jesus requires us to help our neighbors out of mercy and love (cf Luke 10:29-37).
Catholic Charities of Central Texas is coordinating our diocesan relief efforts. We encourage you to visit www.ccctx.org for more information on how to offer help and to provide financial assistance for the victims of the storm. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Comunicado del Obispo José S. Vásquez y el Obispo Auxiliar Daniel E. Garcia de Austin Respecto a los Efectos Catastróficos del Huracán Harvey. Junto con nuestros hermanos obispos, urgimos a todas las personas de buena voluntad a que se unan con aquellos que sufren como resultado del daño catastrófico causado por el Huracán Harvey. Estamos profundamente consternados por las parroquias, comunidades y personas que han sido y continuarán siendo impactadas por la tormenta. Invitamos a toda la gente a que continúe siguiendo las directrices de seguridad de los oficiales del manejo de emergencias locales. Aún cuando el huracán ha bajado de nivel, algunas víctimas sufrirán los efectos a largo plazo del sistema de la tormenta durante los años venideros.
Invitamos a los fieles de la Diócesis de Austin a estar unidos espiritualmente con las comunidades afectadas a través de la oración y el apoyo. Por que creemos que “Dios es nuestro amparo y fortaleza, nuestro pronto auxilio en las tribulaciones” (Salmo 46:1), nuestro prójimo necesita nuestra decisión de ayudarlo en su momento de necesidad. Considerando la inundación sin precedentes y las desesperadas circunstancias en las cuales nuestros hermanos y hermanas se encuentran a si mismos, se nos recuerda que Jesús nos pide ayudar a nuestro prójimo por misericordia y amor (cf Lucas 10:29-37).
Caridades Católicas del Centro de Texas se encuentra coordinando nuestros esfuerzos diocesanos de alivio. Le invitamos a que visite www.ccctx.org para obtener más información sobre cómo puede usted ofrecer ayuda y pro-veer asistencia financiera para las víctimas de la tormenta.
