We would like to thank Fr. Jeff for the time he has been the Associate Pastor for St. Paul Parish. He has been reassigned to the University Catholic Center at the University of Texas at Austin. You have been a great example to this great community, especially for the youth and young adults. We appreciate the love and dedication you have shown us by helping us grow spiritually as we each seek to build our relationship with Jesus even more.
We continue to pray for our Brother in Christ, Fr. Jeff, that he strives to be strong in his vocation and also serve at the University Catholic Center by setting fire in people’s souls with the Holy Spirit.  Join him at the reception after each weekend Mass of Aug. 13-14

A long-standing tradition in the Church is to pray for God’s providential goodness when it comes to the weather. With the current drought in our area causing, not only problems for farmers and ranchers, but also for city residents due to the excessive heat that is partly caused by drought, we are asked to pray on Sunday and daily Masses.  That through the intercession of St. Isidore the Farmer, the drought may end, and rain may come to water the earth, we pray to the Lord.

August is National Make-A-Will Month. The Diocese of Austin has partnered with FreeWill so that our parishioners can create or update their will at zero cost!
