Changes and Developments at Notre Dame This Summer You may have already noticed some changes that are happening in and around the parish this summer of 2019. We have recently revived the Pastoral Council and have begun meeting regularly again. The Pastoral Council meets the second Tuesday of each month. We currently have eight members, but we do need two more. If you are interested in serving on the Pastoral Council, please contact me at your earliest convenience. We will begin publishing the minutes of the Pastoral Council in the Sunday bulletin. Here are some highlights from the last meeting on Tuesday, July 9:

Claudia Sullivan volunteered to serve as secretary. We still need to elect a chairperson, and will

do so at the next meeting. Fr. Rafael is settled in on the ‘B’ side of the rectory. Side ‘A’ renovations are proceeding;

painting, new carpet, perhaps the purchase of a new refrigerator, and beds. The A side will revert back to its previous function as a meeting place and lodging for guest priests and others who are visiting the parish.

Another ‘beautification day’ is scheduled for the parish on Saturday, July 20 from 8:00-1:00. An announcement will be in the bulletin. Lunch will be provided after the work session for all who volunteered and it will be provided by the building committee. Light weeding, planting, and power-washing will be completed during this session. All are invited and please bring any outdoor equipment that can be used. The previous beautification session was very successful with more than 70 participants and 50 who attended the lunch.

Notre Dame school received a grant for more than $150,000 for security updates at the school, fencing, and controlled access to the school. The security fencing is ready to be installed and the new, updated entry will include swipe cards for all employees of the school, a controlled access gate, and a camera to identify other visitors. Work will likely begin sometime the week of July 15.

Repairs to the gym roof and the church roof will also begin shortly. Both suffered hail damage in the last severe hail storm.

Many have been concerned and asking about the departure of Dorothy Cass and who will succeed her. To date, I have upgraded Marta Mata to Liturgy Coordinator, and Fr. Rafal will serve as Director of Liturgy. I have hired Kevin McCormack to serve as Director of Music. He will serve on a limited part time basis, so we need to find another person to serve as Music Coordinator. To date we have been unsuccessful, so the search continues.

We have also started security measures for Mass. If you arrive at the parish after Mass has started, please use the doors to the Narthex or the front door. All four side doors will be locked once Mass starts, but each of these doors does open from the inside while remaining locked on the outside. There will also be an armed security guard at each mass.

Going forward, we will also begin publishing more information about projects around the that are underway. We are receiving funds back from our Capital Campaign contributions. Some of the projects include renovations to the restrooms in the church, and improvements and repairs to the Social Center.

Please keep our parish in your prayers. Things are happening, improvements and repairs are being made and you’ll be able to see the positive changes. Good things are on the way—the Lord is good!

Cambios y Desarrollos en Notre Dame este Verano Es posible que ya hayan notado algunos cambios que están ocurriendo dentro y alrededor de la parroquia este verano 2019. Recientemente hemos restablecido el Consejo Pastoral y hemos vuelto a reunirnos regularmente. El Consejo Pastoral se reúne el segundo martes de cada mes. Actualmente tenemos ocho miembros, pero necesitamos dos más. Si alguien de ustedes está interesado en formar parte del Consejo Pastoral, comuníquese conmigo lo antes posible.

Comenzaremos a publicar las actas del Consejo Pastoral en el boletín del domingo. Aquí hay algunos puntos destacados de la última reunión del martes 9 de julio: • Claudia Sullivan se ofreció como secretaria. Todavía tenemos que elegir un presidente, y lo haremos en la próxima reunión. • El Padre Rafael se ha instalado en el lado "B" de la rectoría. Se están llevando a cabo renovaciones en el lado “A”; Pintura, alfombra nueva, tal vez la compra de un refrigerador nuevo, y camas. El lado “A” volverá a su función anterior como lugar de reunión y alojamiento para los Sacerdotes invitados y otros que visitan la parroquia. • Otro "día de embellecimiento" está programado para la parroquia el sábado 20 de julio de 8:00-1:00. El anuncio estará en el boletín. Tendremos comida después de la sesión de trabajo para todos los voluntarios y será donada por el comité de construcción. Una ligera desensacatada, siembra y lavado a presión se completarán durante esta sesión. Todos están invitados y por favor traigan cualquier equipo que sea de jardín que pueda ser utilizado. La sesión de embellecimiento anterior fue todo un éxito, con más de 70 participantes y 50 que asistieron a la comida. • La Escuela de Notre Dame recibió una donación de más de $ 150,000 para actualizaciones de seguridad en la escuela, cercas y acceso controlado a la escuela. La cerca de seguridad está lista para ser instalada y la nueva entrada actualizada incluirá tarjetas magnéticas para todos los empleados de la escuela, una puerta de acceso controlado y una cámara para identificar a otros visitantes. El trabajo probablemente comenzará durante la semana del 15 de julio. • Las reparaciones en el techo del gimnasio y el techo de la iglesia también comenzarán en breve. Ambos sufrieron daños por la granizada de la última tormenta. • Muchos se han preocupado y han preguntado por la partida de Dorothy Cass y quién la va a reemplazar. Hasta la fecha, he asignado a Marta Mata a Coordinadora de Liturgia, y el Padre Rafal como Director de Liturgia. He contratado a Kevin McCormack para servir como Director de Música. Él prestará servicios a tiempo parcial limitado, por lo que necesitamos encontrar a otra persona como Coordinador de Música. Hasta la fecha no hemos tenido éxito, por lo que la búsqueda continúa. • También hemos iniciado medidas de seguridad para la Misa. Si llega a la parroquia después de que haya comenzado la Misa, utilice las puertas del Nártex o la puerta principal. Las cuatro puertas laterales se bloquearán una vez que comience la Misa, pero cada una de estas puertas se abrirá desde el interior y permanecerá bloqueada en el exterior. También habrá un guardia de seguridad armado en cada Misa. • En el futuro, también comenzaremos a publicar más información sobre los proyectos que están en marcha. Estamos recibiendo fondos de nuestras contribuciones de Campaña de Capital. Algunos de los proyectos incluyen renovaciones a los baños en la iglesia, y mejoras y reparaciones al Centro Social.

Por favor, mantenga nuestra parroquia en sus oraciones. Están sucediendo cosas, se están haciendo mejoras y reparaciones y podrán ver los cambios positivos. Las cosas buenas están en camino, ¡el Señor es bueno!

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; an hour of adoration.

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:

Tuesday 1:00 p.m—2:00 p.m. Saturday 4:00 a.m.—5:00 a.m.

Saturday 10:00 a.m.—11:00 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 mission por medio de la oración; una hora de adoración.

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

Tambien es necesario un adorador los:

martes 1:00 p.m.—2:00 p.m. sabado 4:00 a.m.—5:00 a.m.

sabado 10:00 a.m.—11:00 a.m.

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

The Nun’s Story, by Kathryn Hulme, was

a best seller when it was published in 1956,

and was the basis for the film starring Audrey

Hepburn in 1959. The details of a young

woman’s life as aspirant, postulant, and

finally a productive nun in a Belgian order

are sympathetically and thoroughly explored.

(This musician was impressed with the

account of her painstaking and rewarding

relation to plainsong, and the special spiritual

fruit of the endeavor.) Today’s readers may

be interested in Sr. Luke’s career as she

follows a romantic hope of working with the

“savages” in the Belgian Congo, and enters

that field as the impact of “civilization” and

imperialism are at their height in the region.

Especially charming is the account of her

breaking new ground by training the natives,

hired for the grubbier tasks of the hospital, to

assist in demanding medical procedures. The

account of her bout with tuberculosis is also

intriguing in these days when modern

medicine has made it rare.

Then the coming of World War II finds Sr.

Luke in a different set of physical demands,

and her vocation is transformed as she

struggles to behave charitably toward the

occupying German forces.

CONFIRMATION FOR

ADULTS

If you are a baptized Catholic AND you have celebrated your First

Communion this is the preparation you need to complete your Confirmation!

Registration is now open, please call to schedule an appointment for an interview

prior to orientation. Call Alma A. Cruz Gonzales at

830-896-4233 x232

Please join us Thursday, September 12th as we begin a new year studying the

Gospel of St. John.

John’s Gospel offers an “eagle’s eye” view of Jesus’ life. Not only is He clearly Priest, Prophet, and King, He is also the Eternal Word, the Son of God. Meet the cast of the wedding at Cana, the Samaritan woman, the Adulteress, and Lazarus as they confront who He really is. In addition, Jewish feasts reveal the pivotal moments of Jesus’ life and mission as the Promised Messiah, sent because “God so loved the world.”

Whether you are new or experienced in studying the bible, you will gain a deeper understanding of Sacred Scripture! All you need is your bible and the Catechism of the Catholic Church!

We meet every Thursday from 10am-12pm from September through April upstairs in Kem-per Hall, Room 205. We do break for the holi-days from Thanksgiving through the New Year. If you want additional information, please call Julia Bradford at 281-748-4124 or email at:

For the past eight years, Notre Dame Catholic Church has been participating in summer youth mission trips to Catholic Heart Workcamp (CHWC). The organization’s website states, “ Catholic HEART Workcamp is about SERVICE, CONNECTION and LOVING OTHERS. It all started in 1993 in Orlando, FL with 100 participants and has grown to over 13,000 participants annually. CHWC provides parish youth groups, teens and adult leaders service opportunities to restore homes and HEARTS, feed the hungry, lift the spirits of children, bring joy to the elderly and disabled, and offer assistance while partnering with social agencies.” While past groups from Notre Dame have served in communities such as Denver, Oklahoma City, Wichita and Nashville, this year we were excited to announce our first International Camp to St. Croix, USVI. The week spent serving this beautiful island and its people was certainly an unforgettable experience for all! After a long day of travel, our group of 16 students and 4 adults arrived to St. Croix awestruck by the clear blue water, white sands, and overall beauty of the island. But at the same time we also could see that St. Croix was definitely a place of need, and we were eager to find out how we would serve for the week. We quickly got settled at St. Mary’s Catholic School, by laying out air mattresses in classrooms where we would sleep for the next 7 nights. The first evening was a wonderful opportunity to also meet over 100 additional campers who traveled from Texas, Mississippi, Illinois and Wisconsin. The next morning began with Mass at Holy Cross Catholic Church on the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. There couldn’t have been a better start to the week. During the homily we were encouraged to prepare ourselves spiritually to receive Jesus, but also to go out to serve others just as Jesus first washed the feet of his disciples. This was a great message to remember as we attended Mass again each morning before departing for our worksites to be the “hands and feet of Christ.” Later that evening, campers were offered an opportunity to get to meet the other 6 students and adult leaders they were teamed with for the week and to learn about the many work projects that would be completed around the island. For the next four days, campers would load up with their sack lunches and tools and either walk to their nearby work location or be transported by bus across the island. Some of the projects included painting residential homes in areas still recovering from Hurricane Maria (which hit the island on September 20, 2017), painting classrooms and murals at local schools, visiting and playing games with residents at a home for the disabled, and serving meals at a local soup kitchen.

The largest project of the week was at St. Dunstan’s Episcopal School. This school where former San Antonio Spur Tim Duncan graduated from, has been closed for 23 years. It is now being restored as a location to house large groups of volunteers who come to serve on the island as well as being designated as a future hurricane shelter when needed. Each camper spent two days during the week at St. Dunstan’s completing tasks such as power washing, scraping paint, and beginning to transform the facility with a new coat of paint. Perhaps, the most eye-opening experience of the week came for the campers who would pack and deliver over 60 meals each day to be taken to a very impoverished neighborhood with Sr. Anna Guadalupe and the Missionaries of Charity. The campers were told that this most likely would be the only meal these men, women and children would eat for the day. Abigail Spino, a recent graduate from Our Lady of the Hills said, “I saw God the most during our trip when we went to feed the hungry in Fredensborg. While there, we delivered food and snacks to families in need. They were beyond grateful for the food we were giving them. When we ran out of snacks, a man we had given a few bags of chips to, offered to give a bag or two to another resident who had none. This man was so generous with the amount of food he had, even though it was very little.” Another camper, Jillian Albus, a recent graduate from Geneva School of Boerne, recognized that “it literally was one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. These people would collect trash from other parts of the island in the front of their community and dig through it to find what they could use and what they needed to live by.” The campers hearts’ were deeply moved by what they witnessed and of course the humility of the Missionaries of Charity and Freddie, another local, whom they accompanied on these journeys. After long days in the heat, campers certainly get to enjoy some fun as well. Each night at CHWC is packed with high energy games and music, before transitioning to a time of prayer which included Eucharistic Adoration and an opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Before departing from St. Croix, we spent our last day snorkeling and having lunch at Buck Island National Monument. The rare spotting of a sea turtle which swam directly under us and the few hours spent on the preserved beach were a nice reward for a week of hard work and service! Our group would like to thank the CHWC Office, along with Tim Kozrya (International Camp Director) and his team, for their yearlong preparations in making this mission trip experience such an unforgettable success. We would also like to thank the parishioners of Notre Dame for the prayers and support of our trip. This trip is made possible through several fundraising efforts, private donations, and second collections. We are grateful for your generosity and prayers! We would also like to thank the parents who entrusted us with their children, joined us in prayer, and enjoyed the week through the many pictures sent. As one parent stated, “Catholic Heart Work Camp is a great way for our youth to explore what it is like to be the hands, feet, and heart of Jesus. My boys have always come back charged and refreshed in their faith (although physically tired)! Thank you for providing these opportunities!” To see more pictures from our trip, please visit www.notredamechurch.cc/chwc
