Celebrate the Bread of Life! All parishioners are invited to join Father Wencil and our clergy in celebrating the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi) by participating in the parish bilingual Eucharistic procession on Sunday, June 7, starting immediately after the 10 AM Mass. We extend a special invitation to First Holy Communicants. Come dressed in your First Communion clothes and bring flower petals! We at St. Paul are excited to promote this centuries-old tradition of the

Church when our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament is exposed not just to faithful Catholics but to the entire world. We show our love for Christ by honoring Him in a very public way and we can show our love for our neighbors by bringing Our Lord and Savior closer to them. Please be mindful of our neighbors when parking and consider using the garage on Space Park Drive as parking in the church lot will be limited. Point Lookout Drive will be partially closed down briefly as we process around the front of the church.

May 17’s Financial Stewardship report will be on next week’s Bulletin.

Since we kicked off our Building Loan Reduction Appeal, Parishioners have answered Personal Calls to action with additional contributions to pay for our Home. In these short 4 weeks your additional donations will help us make an entire month’s payment without use of parish or ministry operational funds. Thank YOU. You reaffirm that we don’t need an ex-pensive Capital Campaign 3 to generate pledges – you are simply and directly taking care of the needs of our church. Please remember that the Finance Council asked that each household participate in this challenge until our debt is paid, and the quicker we pay it the more we save in interest payments which equal $8,000/month or $96,000/year.

Desde que iniciamos la súplica para reducir nuestra deuda del edificio, feligreses han respondido a

llamadas personales de acción para ayudar a pagar por nuestra Casa. En estas 4 semanas cortas, sus donaciones nos ayudarán a hacer el pago de un mes entero sin uso de fondos operativos de la parroquia o los ministerios. Gracias. Estas acciones reafirman que no necesitamos una costosa tercera Campaña Capital para generar promesas – lo que necesitamos y UDS. Están respondiendo, simplemente y directamente, son los fondos para la deuda y el cuidado de las necesidades de nuestra iglesia. Por favor recuerden que el Comité de Finanzas pidió que cada hogar participe en este reto hasta que la deuda este pagada, y lo más rápido que se pague, lo más que ahorramos en pagos de interés, que equivalen $8.000/mes o $96.000/año.

Liturgy and Worship Liturgia y Culto

Pentecost

The 50 day season of Easter concludes with today's celebration, the feast of Pentecost. On Pentecost we celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles gathered in the upper room in Jerusalem; this event marks the beginning of the Church. The story of Pentecost is found in the Acts of the Apostles, today's first reading. The account in today's Gospel, John 20:19-23, also recounts how Jesus gave the gift of the Holy Spirit to his disciples. After his death, Jesus fulfilled his promise to send to his disciples a helper, an Advocate, who would enable them to be his witnesses throughout the world. Today this yearly celebration recalls the present, now-happening, breathing of God’s Spirit among us.

On Memorial Day, we honor the heroes who have laid down their lives in the cause of freedom, resolve that they will forever be remembered by a grateful

nation, and pray that our country may always prove worthy of the sacrifices they have made. On this solemn day our country unites to pay tribute to the fallen, who demonstrated the strength of their convictions and paid the cost of freedom. We pray for the members of our Armed Forces and their families, and we ask for God’s continued guidance of our country. May God Bless You!

PENTECOSTES El Espíritu Santo, aparentemente, crea desorden en el Iglesia, porque produce diversidad de carismas, de dones; sin embargo, bajo su acción, todo esto es una gran riqueza, porque el Espíritu Santo es el Espíritu de unidad, que no significa uniformidad, sino reconducir todo a la armonía. En la Iglesia, la armonía la hace el Espíritu Santo. ¿Estoy abierto a la armonía del Espíritu Santo, superando todo exclusivismo? ¿Me dejo guiar por Él viviendo en la Iglesia y con la Iglesia? Papa Francisco, Mayo 2013

Adult Ministry and Faith formation: Because Our Faith is too rich and beautiful to have ever learned it ALL…

Contact Heidi Clark, Director of Adult Ministry, 281.333.3891, Ext. 328 or [email protected]

Adult faith formation at St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church is centered around the understanding that living “The Way” taught by Jesus Christ is a life-long, evolving journey, involving both effort and decision. To enable adults to explore the faith and deepen their knowledge of God’s Word, we provide many opportunities to come together in a learning environment. As a diverse community with a small parish feel, we know it is important to walk that journey with others and to share what we have learned along the way.

Marriage Encounter The next Worldwide Marriage Encounter weekend is June 19-21. This is a wonderful weekend away from it all where you get to focus on each other and the love you share.

Founder of the LEGION OF MARY, Frank Duff

Founder of the Legion of Mary, Frank Duff was born in Dublin, Ireland, on June 7, 1889. He entered the Civil Service at the age of 18. At 24 he joined the Society of St. Vincent de Paul where he was led to a deeper commitment to his Catholic faith and at the same time he acquired a great sensitivity to the needs of the poor and underprivileged.

Along with a group of Catholic women and Fr. Michael Toher, Dublin Archdiocese, he formed the first praesidium of the Legion of Mary on September 7, 1921. From that date until his death, November 7, 1980, he guided the world-wide extension of the Legion with heroic dedication. He attended the Second Vatican Council as a lay observer.

His profound insights into the role of the Blessed Virgin in the plan of Redemption, as also into the role of the lay faithful in the mission of the Church, are reflected in the Legion Handbook which is almost entirely his composition.

Interested in joining the Legion and being part of Mary's army or finding out more about it? Join us on Mondays at 6:30 p.m. in room 1.
