A NOTE FROM
OUR PASTOR
NOTAS DEL
PÁRROCO
Dear parishioners,
With this Sunday we close the month of September, which is dedicated to the Holy Cross. This month has been a time of ex- traordinary grace for our parish and myself. I began my term of service as your pastor and as we come to know one another, our parish has found new energy and vitality. The month of October is dedicated to the Holy Angels. At the end of the announcements, which are read before Holy Mass, I have added an indulgenced aspiration to prepare us for the liturgy. October will also be a time of grace for our parish as we celebrate the Sacrament of Confir- mation on October 23. Auxiliary Bishop Daniel Garcia will come to our parish to confer the Sacrament upon 89 candidates. These young people have prepared through years of religious instruction and prayer to fervently receive the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. The Sacrament of Confirmation completes the graces received in the Sacrament of Baptism. And, once confirmed, these young people are fully initiated into the Catholic Church. Let us assist them in their journey to this Sacrament by our prayers…
Come, Holy Spirit, enlighten our minds, cleanse our hearts and give us strength to such a degree that we may clearly recognize the value of our soul. Help us that we may love God above all things and, for love of him, to love our neighbor. May we be free of fear in professing our faith publicly and may we accept all things from the hand of the Lord with all confidence that he will turn them into good for those who lovingly tend towards him. Amen.
Father David.
Queridos feligreses,
Con este domingo cerramos el mes de septiembre, que se dedica a la Santa Cruz. Este mes ha sido un tiempo de gracia extraordinaria para nues- tra parroquia y para mí. Comencé mi período de servicio como su párroco, y empezando a conocernos un poco, nuestra parroquia ha encontrado una nueva energía y vitalidad. El mes de octubre está dedicado a los Santos Ángeles. He añadido una aspiración indulgente que nos preparara para la liturgia al final de los anuncios que se leen antes de Misa. Octubre también será un tiempo de gracia para nuestra parroquia, ya que el 23 de octubre, celebraremos el Sacramento de Confirmación. El Obispo auxiliar Daniel García vendrá a nuestra parroquia para conferir el Sacramento a los 89 candidatos. Estos jóvenes se han preparado a través de años de instruc- ción religiosa y oración para recibir fervientemente los dones del Espíritu Santo. El Sacramento de Confirmación completa las gracias recibidas en el Sacramento de Bautismo. Y, una vez confirmados, estos jóvenes son iniciados completamente a la Iglesia Católica. Ayudémosles en su jornada a este Sacramento con nuestras oraciones…
Ven, Espíritu Santo, ilumina nuestras mentes, purifica nuestros cora- zones y danos la fuerza a tal grado que podamos reconocer claramente el valor de nuestra alma. Ayúdanos a que podamos amar a Dios sobre todas las cosas y, por amor a Él, amar a nuestro prójimo. Que podamos sentirnos libres del miedo, al profesar públicamente nuestra fe, y para que podamos aceptar todas las cosas que vengan de la mano del Señor con toda confianza de que Él las convertirá en bien para aquellos que tienden amorosamente hacia Él. Amén.
Padre David.

SANTA CRUZ CATHOLIC SCHOOL/ESCUELA CATOLICA
Santa Cruz Catholic School is still enrolling students!
Santa Cruz is the only fully accredited Catholic School in Hays County. A new 2-story educa- tional building was completed in August 2015. It provides a new library, music room, science lab, art room as well as new classrooms. Santa Cruz offers numerous extracurricular programs for your children. We invite you to come visit our school and tour our facilities. You’ll find that we are much more than a daycare center plus more affordable!
¡Todavía se siguen Inscribiendo Nuevos Estudiantes!
Santa Cruz es la única Escuela Católica totalmente acreditada en el Condado de Hays. Un nuevo edificio educativo de 2 pisos se terminó en agosto del año pasado, proporcionando una nueva biblioteca, salón de música, laboratorio, salón de arte, así como nuevos salones de clase. Santa Cruz ofrece numerosos programas extracurriculares para sus hijos. Le invitamos a que venga a visitar nuestra escuela para recorrer nuestras instalaciones. Usted encontrará que somos mucho más que una guardería y le será más económico.
Becoming Catholic
Are you, or do you know anyone, who has not yet been baptized or was baptized in another Christian faith? Ever wondered why Catholics bless themselves with the sign of the cross, what they believe about communion, what’s up with all those saints and statues, and rosaries, and standing, sitting and kneeling? Why does Mary seem so important?
Well, why not come and see and come and learn?
This year’s RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) Program begins on Thursday, September 8. There’s no cost, no obligation, no commitment necessary. In a series of friendly, informative and spiritu- ally exciting classes we will explore the major things Catholics believe and why. We will learn more about the Mass and what is happening and why. Learn about prayer, scripture, sacraments and Church his- tory, and much more.
Are you Catholic and interested in learning more about your faith?
Would you be willing to be part of this program to be part of a faith community willing to journey with and support those interested in learning more about our faith? Now may be the moment that God is calling you to be part of an exciting ministry.
So, if you are currently a non-Catholic wanting to learn more about Catholicism, or a Catholic willing to be part of an exciting ministry, please call Sandy Dodson at (512) 213-4554 or Deacon John Kerrigan at (214) 886-8239. You may also email Deacon John at deaconjohnk@

God may be calling you. Listen, pray and come and see….

THE SOCIETY OF ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SANTA CRUZ PARISH CONFERENCE
The members of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Santa Cruz Conference greatly appreciate the generosity of our parishioners for their financial support and prayers. We are now planning for our annual Angel Tree Project. As you are aware each Christmas Season we hold an event for the children of families in need in our community. The families are chosen from those we serve during the year. However, if you know of a family in need in our parish, encourage them to contact us at (512) 415-4012.
As in the past, we will be sending letters to the families inviting them to respond to our invitation to a Saturday morning breakfast program that will include children making gifts for the Baby Jesus, singing, good food, a birthday cake for the Baby Jesus, fellowship, and gifts for the children. The weekend after Thanksgiving we will set up the Angel Tree in the church Nar- thex, decorated with angel tree tags representing boys and girls, along with tags for their families. The tree will be stocked with tags for all four weekend masses. Past history tells us the tags will all be selected that weekend.
We ask that you pray for the success of this project to bring the spirit and joy of Christmas not only to those in need but also to all parishioners through their reaching out to help others.
What a blessing!

niños hacen unos regalos para el niñito Jesús, cantando, comiendo y se tendrá un pastel de cumpleaños para el niño Jesús, y regalos para los niños. El fin de semana después del Día de Gracias vamos a tener el arbolito del Ángel a la entrada principal de la iglesia, decorado con las etiquetas que representan a los niños y niñas en necesidad, junto con etiquetas para sus familias. El árbol tendrá etiquetas
durante las cuatro Misas ese fin de semana. Nuestra experiencia nos indica que todas las etiquetas serán seleccionadas ese fin de semana.
Le pedimos que oren por el éxito de este proyecto y para que podamos acoger a estas familias con el espíritu y la alegría de la Navidad, no sólo en aquellos en necesidad, sino también en todos nuestros feligreses, extendiendo la ayuda hacia otros. ¡Qué bendición
Jubilee Year of Mercy
September 25, 2016 Twenty-sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time Jubilee for Catechists
Amos castigates reli- gious people who, “com- fortably complacent”
(6:1, 5), ignore the unfolding collapse of culture, nation, religion (6:6). In Jesus’ parable, such complacency becomes the rich man’s undoing. He neither hurt nor harmed Lazarus, nei- ther denied him leftovers nor ordered him removed. That is Jesus’ devastating point. The rich man did nothing wrong to Lazarus; he just did nothing at all good for him. Only in death, separated by “a great chasm” (Luke 16:26), could the rich man finally see Lazarus, whom he had failed to see in life, right before his eyes. Like the rich man’s “five brothers still in my father’s house”
(16:27–28), we who are alive in the Church still have time to see that same Someone, Jesus, lying neglected right at our door—and time to do something.
Who, specifically, concretely, practi- cally, is Lazarus in my life? What can I do for that Jesus-in-the-flesh during this Jubilee Year of Mercy?

Año Jubilar de la Misericordia
25 de septiembre de 2016 Vigésimo Sexto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Jubileo para los catequistas
Amos castiga a personas religiosas
“confiadas” (6:1, 5) que ignoran la caída de la cultura, de la nación, de la religión (6:6). En la parábola de Jesús esa confianza es la perdición del hombre rico. Él no lastima o perjudica a Lázaro, tampoco le niega las sobras ni pide que lo quiten de la entrada de su casa. Y ese es el punto principal que Jesús menciona.
El hombre rico no hizo ningún mal a Lázaro, pero tampoco hizo algo bueno por Lázaro. Solo después de la muerte, separados por “un abismo inmenso”
(Lucas 16:26), pudo el hombre rico ver a Lázaro, a quien no se atrevió a verlo mientras vivió, justo ante sus ojos. Así como los cinco hermanos que quedaban en la casa del hombre rico (16:27–28), nosotros los que vivimos en la Iglesia todavía tenemos tiempo para ver a ese alguien, a Jesús que está a la entrada de nuestra puerta y que es tiempo para hacer algo. ¿Quién, practica, concreta y específicamente es Lázaro en mi vida?
¿Qué puedo hacer por ese Jesús de carne y hueso durante este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia?
