From the Pastor’s Office17th Sunday in Ordinary Time

King Solomon confesses to God that he is very unsure how to act as King.

You think about all those children and teenagers who were appointed to

rule. You come upon it in ancient Rome, Egypt, Greece and then throughout

history. Why on earth would any society nominate someone who is clearly

incapable of ruling at all? The funny thing is that we all fancy the job of

ruler. From our childhood games we all competed to be the captain of the

team. Or, we wanted to be the pirate King, or we wanted to be the winner

at the games. We all want to lead. It seems to me to be highly dangerous

to give so much power to someone so young and so inexperienced.

Thankfully Solomon had the insight to ask God for help. Thankfully God

gave him wisdom. O, to have wisdom. If only we had some of that, our

lives might have been much more peaceful and successful.

The gospel today continues from last week. “Lord, what is the kingdom of

heaven like?” Last week Jesus said that the Kingdom of Heaven was

huge. This week He tells us that we must search for the Kingdom of Heaven.

I actually know where it is, by the way. If you look out of your bedroom

window, that tree at the end of the garden, the Kingdom of Heaven is

slightly to the left of that. Now you know. But, the Kingdom of Heaven is

like searching for a treasure in a field. It is like finding a pearl of great

price. The Kingdom of Heaven is like a net full of fish. How far do you

want to take this? The Bible tells us that the Kingdom of Heaven is the

place where God dwells. The Kingdom of Heaven is our destination. After

we are finished with this life we are all going there. If you sail on the seven

seas, you must always keep an eye on the horizon. That will guide you

home. Now you know. Keep you eye on Heaven and you will get there in

the end. Promise…

With love,

Fr. Pat

Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven

and earth; for you have revealed to little

ones the mysteries of the kingdom.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT: We are grateful to this community for giving so greatly and regularly at home

through online and mail contributions. Please also try to include St. Vincent de Paul in your giving. St. Vincent continues to try

to meet the need of a growing group due to the economic effects of the virus and will need your continued financial support

to meet this challenge.

SUMMER CHALLENGE CHALLENGE: Last week, fifteen teams from our middle school youth ministry participated in

our yearly summer challenge, a week of fun, faith formation, and service. Some of the organizations they volunteered

remotely for were the Austin Diaper Bank, Austin Animal Shelter, Sunrise Church Homeless Ministry, and Marbridge.

Thank you summer challenge teams for all your hard work and dedication! Thank you to all St. Catherine families and

parishioners who helped with donations to make this week happen!

Religious Education

ADULT EDUCATION

SENIOR MINISTRY will be host the online presentation, “How the Gospels Were

Constructed, Part 2” on Thurs., July 30 at 10 a.m. Fr. Lou Brusatti will continue

his presentation on the construction of the Gospels. Register online or contact

Jennifer at [email protected] to receive the Zoom meeting

link. (Part 1 is available at www.stcatherine-austin.org/adult-education-webinars)

ADULT OFFERINGS: Has this experience of isolation provoked you to think about

your relationship with God? Are you asking questions about why such suffering?

Wondering about life and death? Contact us to join in conversations about these

and other questions. Online gatherings will begin on Mon., Aug 3 at 7:00 pm. To

attend, register with Pam at [email protected].

RCIA. The process of becoming Catholic. There are many ways to learn about the

Catholic Church. Thanks to the uncertainty of COVID-19, we have all been challenged

to rethink how we walk with each other, but we will always be here for anyone

wanting to know more. We don’t know what September and beyond will look like, but

we know that God is with us always. Whether online, in person or some combination

of the two, we welcome you to inquire about finding out more about God and the

Church. Have we ever needed God more? If you are interested in finding out more

about the Catholic faith, to celebrate your Confirmation and take your place in the

Church, contact Fr. Pat in the Parish Office at (512) 892-2420 or Pam Neumann at

[email protected].

Liturgy

PLEASE – ARRIVE EARLY TO MASS! In the last few weeks,

more and more people have been arriving to Mass later

and later – in one recent Mass, over a third of the congregation

arrived after Mass had begun! This makes seating everyone

in the limited available space more difficult and stressful

for the few ushers who are presently serving. A rush of late

arrivals compounds this. Being part of a last-minute rush

may mean that you will not be able to find a seat in the

church. Once all the spots in the church are filled, there is

no standing allowed in the Narthex; it may be possible to

open up additional seats in the Parish Hall, but a last-minute

rush will also delay your entry there. Help us take care of

everyone, and help ensure yourself a seat, by arriving early.

And while at Mass, please follow the instructions of the

Ushers at all times – especially during Communion and

when the church is being vacated at the end of Mass.

MORE HELP IS NEEDED TO SANITIZE THE PEWS AFTER MASS ON

WEEKDAYS AND WEEKENDS. After each Mass, the pews in the

church are sprayed with a CDC-approved disinfectant solution.

The staff and volunteer ushers who serve you need additional

help. It takes just a few minutes, and the more individuals who

know how to do this properly, the better! If you are able to join

this effort, please check with an ushers, Mass Coordinator or

staff member in the Narthex to help you get involved.

THE READINGS FOR SUNDAY MASS are available on

the parish website, as well as the text of the Gloria and

Creed. Visit the livestream page and click the button

that says ‘Worship Aid.’ When you enter the church, use

your smartphone camera and the QR codes on posters in the

Narthex to go directly to the Worship Aid. (The QR code is also

listed below.)

LITURGICAL MINISTERS: Do you know your EIM (Ethics & Integri-

ty in Ministry) anniversary date? If you don’t, please call Esther

in the Parish Office at (512) 892-2420. All members of liturgical

ministries (including Mass Coordinators, Ushers & Hospitality,

Lectors, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, Psalmists,

Cantors, Musicians and Choir Members) over 18 years of age

must remain in compliance with this Diocesan program as a

required part of their service in the parish ministry. At this time,

the Diocese is temporarily offering the renewal course online.

Contact Esther or Jennifer in the office to find out more.
