To learn more, please visit www.usccb.org/latin-america.

La próxima semana realizaremos la Colecta para

El apoyo que le den a la colecta proporciona capacitación para el liderazgo laico, la catequesis, la formación sacerdotal y religiosa, así como para otros programas que ayudan a compartir nuestra fe con aquellos que anhelan escuchar la Buena Nueva de Cristo. Para informarse más, por favor, visiten www.usccb.org/latin-america.

SAVE THE DATEN

LENTEN MISSION David Kauffman joins us on Monday, February 19th at 7:00 p.m. to lead us in our Lenten Mission. “The Gift in the Journey” is the theme. It’s an evening of song and story, reflection and prayer. Through our joys and challenges, we’ll discover the gifts that lay before us. David co-wrote the Mass of Renewal with William Gokelman, one of the Mass settings we frequently use here at Notre Dame. He has also written many songs for the ACTS Community including “Behold”, “Be Still”, “Come to Me”, and “You Cannot Go Below My Resting Arms.” David’s Lenten composition “Purify My Heart” actually debuted here at Notre Dame Church several years ago. All are welcome to the Lenten Mission.

En nombre del Arzobispo Gustavo y del Padre, los invitamos a usted y a su familia a servir a nuestros hermanos necesitados a través de la Campaña Anual del Arzobispo de 2018.

Gracias por sus oraciones y por su generosidad. ¡Que Dios le bendiga!

On behalf of Archbishop Gustavo and Father, we invite you and your family to serve our brothers and sisters in need through the 2018 Archbishop's Appeal. Your prayers and gift to this year’s Appeal are essential to continue serving homeless children and mothers, bringing spiritual support to the hospitalized, forming future priest and deacons to provide the Sacraments of our faith in our communities and so much more! If you have already responded to the Archbishop’s letter sent to your home, thank you! If you have not had an opportunity, we invite you to pray and consider how you and your family can renew your gift or make your first gift to this year’s Appeal.

Online gifts can be made at www.archsa.org/archbishops-appeal or by calling the Office of Archbishop’s Appeal at 210-734-1604. Thank you for your prayers and generosity. May God bless you!

2018 Archbishop’s Appeal Prayer - In the Spirit of Love

Loving God, As missionary disciples, we are sent to bring the Good News of Jesus to everyone in the Archdiocese of San Antonio.

Strengthen our faith, deepen our hope, and help us to respond in love for others through the Archbishop’s Appeal ministry.

We are very grateful for the many gifts and blessings we have received. May your Holy Spirit inspire us to share a portion of these gifts and blessings with those who need our help through the 2018 Archbishop’s Appeal.

Fill our hearts with your truth and enduring love so that, united as a community of faith, we may show through our actions that we truly are disciples In the Spirit of Love.

We ask this through Christ Our Lord.

Oración de la Campaña Anual del Arzobispo 2018

Padre celestial,

Como discípulos misioneros, somos enviados a llevar la Buena Nueva de Jesús a todos en la Arquidiócesis de San Antonio.

Fortalece nuestra fe, profundiza nuestra esperanza y ayúdanos a responder con amor por los demás a través del ministerio de la Campaña Anual del Arzobispo.

Estamos muy agradecidos por los múltiples dones y bendiciones que hemos recibido. Que tu Espíritu Santo nos inspire a compartir una porción de estos dones y bendiciones con aquellos que necesitan nuestra ayuda a través de la Campaña Annual del Arzobispo de 2018.

Llena nuestros corazones con tu verdad y amor perdurable para que, unidos como una comunidad de fe, podamos mostrar a través de nuestras acciones que realmente somos discípulos En el Espíritu del Amor.

Te lo pedimos por Cristo Nuestro Señor. Amén

ANNUAL STAND FOR LIFE

The Knights of Columbus invite you to join us at the Kerr County Courthouse on Sunday January 21, 2018 at 2:00 pm for the 14th annual Kerrville Stand for Life. This hour of quiet prayer and witness on Sanctity of Life Sunday is a call to respect all life, especially those still in their mothers' womb. The Stand is sponsored by The Pregnancy Resource Center and will be attended by pro-life groups from many churches in the area. Please join us.

Pope Francis calls the church to be permanently in mission. He calls for everyone to be a missionary. We can participate in the mission through prayer.

The lines for the opportunity to see a rock star are indelibly long. The Star of all Stars, Jesus, humbles Himself to share a personal one on one hour, and only a few “wise virgins” fill up their lamps with this wondrous love freely given by Christ. How will He be able to recognize us at the end of our earthly exile if we become as the “foolish virgins’ who are too busy to show love and adoration for this awesome gift that is our Mighty Lord Jesus?

This hour is a great and unrepeated opportunity for a young parent or grandparent to teach their tender lambs our faith and reverence to our most humble Majesty, The Good Shepherd Jesus. Please join us in just one hour of adoration a week out of nearly 124 weekly hours to choose from.

An adorer is needed for:

Monday 11:00 p.m.—12:00 a.m. Thursday 9:00 p.m.—10:00 p.m. Saturday 10:30 a.m.—11:30 a.m.

If you are able to help with this time, please call Veronica Fabro at (830)377-9117. El Papa Francisco llama a la iglesia para que esté en mission permanentemente. Nos llama a todos a ser misioneros. Podemos participar en la misión por medio de la oración.

Las colas para tener la oportunidad de ver a una estrella del rock están increíblemente largas. La Estrella de todas las Estrellas, Jesús, se humilla para compartir una hora de tiempo personal, y sólo unas cuantas “virgenes sabias” llenan sus lámparas con el amor maravilloso regalado por Cristo. Cómo podrá reconocernos al final de nuestra exilio terrestre si nos convertimos en “virgenes tontas” que están demasiado ocupadas para demastrar nuestro amor y adoración para este impresionante don que es nuestro Poderoso Señor Jesús.

Esta hora es una gran oportunidad que no se repetirá para que un padre o abuelo enséne a sus delicados (tiernos) corderos nuestra fe y reverencia hacia nuestra humildísima Majestad, El Buen Pastor Jesús. Por favor únanse en sólo una hora de adoración a la semana de las 124 horas semanales a escoger.

Tambíen es necesario un adorador los:

lunes 11:00 p.m.—12:00 a.m. jueves 9:00 p.m.—10:00 p.m.

sabado 10:30 a.m.—11:30 a.m.

Si usted puede acompañar a Jesús este momento, por favor llame a Veronica Fabro al (830)377-9117.

The Rosary is prayed before the Saturday Mass at 4:30 p.m. and before the first Sunday Mass at 7:15 a.m. by teams of rotating Rosary Leaders. If you would like to be part of this lovely, prayerful ministry by leading the Rosary, call Carmen Reno at 830-329-1931. When you pray united with others, your prayers are multiplied!

Please pray for those who have died, and have gone to their eternal rest with the Lord, especially for Rosemary Marker, Mary Splaine & William Gren. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace.

Deadline for reservations-January 29, 2018

BooksToBorrow from the Notre Dame Parish Library are

available in the narthex of the church, near

the bell tower door. Mary Foley tells us

about Not God’s Type.

This is a wonderful book by Holly Ordway.

Its subtitle is “An Atheist Lays Down Her

Arms”, and it is a brutally honest, hilarious,

and sometimes heartbreaking account of her

life and her search for The Truth. A well-

educated English professor on top of her

game, she is lulled by life and the modern

culture into believing she is and has it All.

When she gets involved with competitive

fencing (yes, there is such a thing, who

knew?) she comes to the uncomfortable

realization that her highly respected and

trusted coach is a Christian. Suddenly she

has a hard time dismissing “faith” as

something just for lunatics or imbeciles.

A beautiful and moving story unfurls as she

systematically tackles the biggest questions

of our lives: Does God exist? Is Jesus for

real? And if so, did the resurrection really

happen? What does that mean for me and my

life?

If you have family members or friends who

are grappling with these questions, searching

for answers or doubting the truth of our

Catholic faith, or if you are ready to get

reacquainted with how the awesomeness of

God’s grace informs every part of your life,

READ THIS BOOK! It will leave you

feeling triumphant and joyful and full of hope

in the Lord, grateful for the Beauty and Truth

of the Catholic Church

propane request month, as was anticipated. We are averaging $2,751.63 a time that the financial aid office is open. This compares to July and last January.
