A volunteer ministry of Saint Mary Cathedral

Rector’s Corner

Thank you for a marvelous Christmas! In this picture are the members of my immediate family, including my parents, my sisters and their husbands, and my six nieces and nephews. All came from afar (Chicago and Pennsylvania) to celebrate our biannual family Christmas Texas style. They had a great time with “indoor camping” in various nooks and crannies of our campus. And they had a great time!

Leading up to their arrival, I enjoyed: our Posadas in early December; welcoming the Pilgrim Statue of Our Lady of Fatima; celebrating Our Lady of Guadalupe with Mass and delicious tamales and pan dulce; attending the Christmas Carol program with our children’s choir and the Celtic Christmas concert the week before Christmas, and, of course, our marvelous Christmas liturgies among many other festivities.

Thank you for singing in our choirs; helping support the greening of the church with your donations; for serving in our liturgical ministries, and volunteering to help clean the church and the grounds. Thank you for welcoming visitors with a warm handshake as the weather grew colder. Thank you for loving the Lord with such joy in our liturgies!

As you read this, I will be away from the parish, attending to some New Year’s R&R somewhere warmer than here! I look forward to embracing the New Year with you upon my return on January 16. Fr. Tim ___________________________________________________________

Quiero darles las gracias por una Navidad maravillosa! En esta foto están los miembros de mi familia más cercana. En esta foto están mis padres, mis hermanas y sus esposos, mis seis sobrinas y sobrinos. Todos vinieron desde lejos (Chicago y Pennsylvania) para celebrar nuestra Navidad semestral en familia al estilo Texano. En su estancia, disfrutaron “acampando” dentro de diversos rincones y áreas de nuestro campus. Y disfrutaron de estupendamente de ese tiempo!

Antes de su llegada, pude disfrutar de: nuestras posadas a principio de Diciembre; recibir la imagen de Nuestra Señora de Fátima, tuvimos la celebración de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe con la celebración de misa, junto con unos deliciosos tamales y pan dulce; también asistí al programa de villancicos navideños con nuestro coro de niños y el concierto de Navidad Celta la semana antes de la Navidad. Por supuesto, sin faltar nuestras liturgias maravillosas de Navidad, entre otras muchas otras festividades. (continúa en la página 3)

Cathedral School

Dear Parishioners,

On behalf of the Cathedral School of Saint Mary community, I wish you a blessed Christmas Season and a Happy New Year! This week our students enthusiastically returned to campus to begin the second semester. Thank you for your prayers during our Christmas break.

We invite those of you who are considering a Catholic education for your children to the CSSM Open House on Sunday, Jan. 21, at 11:00am, in the school library. We, at the Cathedral School of Saint Mary are grateful for the bless-ings of your continued support to the school.

Sacrament of Holy

Matrimony: The Catholic Church believes that marriages entered into by non-Catholics in their

particular church, or wherever they may take place, are valid. However, marriages in which one or both parties are Catholic and which are not witnessed by an authorized bishop, priest, or deacon, or which do not receive proper permission to take place in another forum, are considered invalid in the eyes of the Catholic Church. The Church very much wants to offer the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony for those who are ready and free to do so through what is called a convalidation. The clergy and staff of Saint Mary Cathedral would like to invite any couple that is interested in convalidation to contact the office for more info. at 512-476-6182 or email ysaldana@smcaustin.org.
