A message from our pastor... Many of you will recall that recently Fr. Alberto announced that he has been assigned to be the pastor at St. Mary s in Lockhart. He will be leaving us at the beginning of July. This is truly a great loss for our parish. During his announcement he also included that there is not a priest coming to replace him. This reality challenges us to continue to pray for more vocations to the priesthood. This reality also will put many more responsibilities on the shoulders of Fr. Jonathan and myself. After much prayer and deliberation, I have made the difficult decision that the Sunday 7PM Mass will be cancelled when Fr. Alberto departs. Consequently, the last day this Mass will be celebrated is July 3rd, the last day Fr. Alberto is with us. I realize this will cause inconvenience for some of you and I apologize for that. Nevertheless, I ask for your support in this very difficult decision and again challenge all of us to pray for more priestly vocations especially from our Hispanic communities. Fr. Dean Un mensaje de nuestro párroco... A lo mejor muchos de ustedes recuerdan que recientemente Padre Alberto anunció que el Señor Obispo le ha nombrado a servir como párroco en la Parroquia de Santa María de la Visitación en Lockhart. Él se nos va al principio de julio. De verdad, ésta es una gran pérdida para nuestra parroquia, y lo vamos a extrañar muchísimo. También, como el Padre Alberto anunció, no va a venir ningún sacerdote para remplazarlo. Este hecho nos llama a orar con mayor fervor por las vocaciones al sacerdocio. También, esta situación va a poner más responsabilidades sobre los hombros del Padre Jonathan y yo. En consideración de todo esto, y después de mucha oración he hecho una decisión difícil. Es decir que la misa de 7 p.m. va a ser cancelada cuando se va el Padre Alberto. El último día que se celebrará esta misa será el 3 de julio, que también será el último día que el Padre Alberto estará con nosotros. Quiero que sepan que me doy cuenta que este cambio será una inconveniencia para algunos de ustedes, y por eso les pido perdón. De todos modos, pido su apoyo en esta decisión difícil, y de nuevo les quiero desafiar a todos a que oremos por más vocaciones sacerdotales especialmente de la comunidad hispana. Gracias, y Dios los bendiga. Padre Dean SAVE THE DATE: JULY 3 Fr. Alberto s farewell gathering will be on Sunday, July 3 at 3 p.m.! More information to come at a later date. GUARDE LA FECHA: 3 de julio La despedida de Padre Alberto será domingo, 3 de julio a las 3 p.m.!

Theology of the Body Study Series Open to Young Adults of Austin Starting July 7 Freedom is a powerful word. The world says freedom is the ability to do what we want, whenever we want, with whomever we want. But has this led to strong relationships, strong families, or strong communities? Since the days of the sexual revolution, the opposite has played out resulting in sexual chaos, exploitation, broken families, and a lot of pain. Recognizing the world s confusion, Pope John Paul II proclaimed the Theology of the Body a profound message of love and human sexuality. In it, he declared that authentic freedom is meant to lead to authentic love. Freedom to Love is a powerful, five-part study based on the Theology of the Body that is specifically intended for young adults and college students and is presented by popular author and expert Christopher West. In it he lays out a convincing and refreshing road map to living a life of authentic freedom and love. This DVD and workbook study will be held on Thursdays, July 7, 14, 21, 28 and August 4 from 7-9 p.m. at Emmaus Catholic Parish at the Youth Space in the PLC. It is open to all young adults ages 18-39 and is free, aside from an optional workbook purchase. To register, email TOBAustin@gmail.com.
