The second collection for this weekend (October 25-26) is for the Diocese of Austin’s annual Catholic Services Appeal (CSA). This year’s theme is “Together we bring hope.” Your gift to the CSA supports men discerning vocations to the priesthood and diaconate, priests currently serving and retired priests. Your gift helps to sustain Catholic schools, religious education, ministerial formation and initiatives for life, peace and justice. Your donations are carefully spent; it is money for God’s work, and we use it accordingly. Your contributions are deeply appreciated, very much needed and make a real difference in the lives of many.
All Saints’ Day, November 1, is not a Holy Day of Obligation this year because it falls on a Saturday. We will celebrate our usual 5 p.m. Mass on Saturday, November 1, as a Vigil Mass for All Souls’ Day.
As we continue to await the return of Fr. Johannes from India, we will once again not have Tuesday evening reconciliation services at 6 p.m. and will not have 7 p.m. Mass on October 14. We will also not have 12 p.m. Mass on Wednesday, October 15. Please pray for Fr. Johannes' safe return. We will continue to keep you updated. Contact our office if you have any questions at (512) 892-2420. Thank you.
