Catholic services appeal (CSA) update

As of December 21, 2015, UCC

parishioners have pledged
$4,956.00 to the CSA, which is
only 85% of our goal of $5,800.
Parishioners have paid $4,441.00 to the CSA, which is 90% of the
total amount pledged. Thank you all!

When was the last time you were filled with expectation? Advent?
Engagement? Graduation? New job? New city? How did that feel?
Was it a mixed feeling of anxious anticipation and uncertainty?
United with Christ in baptism our expectation has transformed
into mission. How will your mission reveal Christ?

Extraordinary Jubilee of mercy

Pope Francis has announced an Extraordinary

Jubilee of Mercy beginning on December 8, the
feast of the Immaculate Conception, and
concluding on November 20, 2016, the feast of
Christ the King. The Diocese of Austin will
observe the jubilee through the year by highlighting
mercy under three aspects: availing ourselves to
receive Gods mercy, especially through the
sacraments; catechesis to help us better understand Gods mercy;
and obeying the call to share Gods mercy with others, especially
through the Spiritual and Corporal Works of Mercy.
In addition to the many resources available on the Vatican website
(www.im.va), all are encouraged to visit the diocesan site at
www.austindiocese.org/yearofmercy, where you can find helpful
links and local information about the Opening of the Holy Doors
for the Jubilee. The site also includes details on the five designated
pilgrimage sites in the Diocese of Austin and instructions on
obtaining the jubilee indulgence.
