In what concrete ways are you living your faith

through service to others?

Saints are those who have experienced a profound encounter with

God and who have committed to following the Lord Jesus. Saints
embody the Gospel, the good news of Gods love. The Beatitudes
list ways of holy living. God encounters us in our daily lives. God
has invited us to holiness to be saints. When does my life not
reflect the Beatitudes? How can I spend more time with the Lord
to learn to recognize his voice?

MONDAY

Readings for the week

Our RCIA sessions (Rite of Christian Initiation

of Adults) are designed to instruct those who
are interested in becoming Catholic, but they
can be a great refresher for those who are
already Catholic and simply want to better
understand their faith. No need to attend the
entire series; come listen in on any topic that interests you! We
meet Wednesdays 7:00-9:00 pm in the Catacombs. Join us!

Solemnity of All Saints

St. Austin Parish

A Word from Our Ministry Team

2026 Guadalupe St. Austin, TX 78705 512.477.9471

Greetings from our newest team member!

Wake up the world! Pope Francis challenged religious

women and men with these words when he declared 2015
to be the world-wide Year of Consecrated Life; and
today we open the National Vocation Awareness
Week here in the States. What a wonderful year, week,
and day to join the community of the University Catholic
Center, at the University of Texas.

I am Brother Rob Clark and on this All Saints Day I am honored to

begin my ministry among you as a member of the Campus
Ministry Staff. The reason that the timing of my beginning today
seems so appropriate is that the main focus of my ministry with
you will be creating and facilitating more intentional vocational
discernment activities and leadership development opportunities
within our extensive Campus Ministry program here at UCC. Our
hope is that with educational and experiential programs, retreats,
and individual and group spiritual accompaniment we will be able
to identify and support Longhorn students who are open to the
possibility of serving the Church as lay ministers/leaders; ordained
deacons, priests; or as Consecrated Sisters or Brothers.
It seems like my life's study and service as a Marist Brother has
prepared me for this new initiative. Most of my ministry has been
with Young Adults as a Campus Minister (Rutgers University,
Marist College, the Culinary Institute of America); directing an
International & National Volunteer Program (The Marist
Volunteers); or in my service to my Brothers as both Vocation
Director and Director of Novices (for the USA, Australia and
Western Europe). The Brothers have blessed me with many
opportunities to academically and spiritually prepare for this
program. Specifically through my study and practice of Pastoral
Counseling/Spiritual Direction I have grown in my understanding
and love of you, the newest generation of Catholics, and I look
forward to journeying with you as you seek to listen and respond
to God's call.
What else? I was born in Brooklyn, NY, and spent all but 2 years
of my life in NY or NJ (those other 2 years were spent in
Brownsville, TX!). I have a brother and 2 sisters (and 2 nieces and
4 nephews). I really enjoy all water activities (swimming, skiing,
surfing, fishing, boating), and I like to cook and garden. One of
the more unique experiences I had was co-starring with Tom
Cruise in War of the Worlds (actually I was called an extra!).
Thanks for your warm welcome and I look forward to meeting
you in the days ahead.
Brother Rob Clark, FMS
Catholic Campus Minister
