your spiritual home. Register at www.AtonementOnline.com.
CHILD CARE is available today (Sunday) for the 9:00 a.m. and 11:00
a.m. Masses in the Pre-K room of the school building.
Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament: We must have people
committed to and present at each hour while the Blessed Sacrament
is exposed. Our goal is to have a minimum of two people/families
committed to each hour. Please prayerfully consider committing to
spend one hour each week to be with Our Lord in Adoration. Contact
Tricia Delaney at pddelaney@icloud.com or 695-6105 to sign-up or
for more information.
It’s that time of year again, when our parish will participate in
the 40 Days for Life vigil. This is our 9th time standing for
those who cannot stand for themselves, the unborn. The 40
Days for Life vigils have helped to save over 10,000 babies
and their families from abortion. Over 75,000 people in 20
countries are joining us to stand together to defend
life. Come put your faith into action. This year, we will be
holding our annual vigil on Saturday, October 3rd from 7am-7pm at
the New Planned Parenthood located at 2140 Babcock Road. This is a
new location. We ask that if you could give just one hour of your
time, please sign up at our table in the narthex over the next couple of
weeks. If you are unable to participate on our appointed day, please
go to https://40daysforlife.com/local-campaigns/san-antonio/ to
sign up for a day and time that would be more convenient.
INQUIRY CLASS –If you would like to complete the class
previously begun, or would like to receive the Sacrament of
Confirmation in 2016, or just want a refresher course in
Catholicism, please register with Alan Becker at 210-273-9426.
Classes are Sundays at 10:30am in the Common Room.
ALTAR SERVER TRAINING: Altar server training will be
offered for all positions on Saturday, October 3rd, at
approximately 11:00am following the First Saturday Mass.
Anyone interested in serving at the altar is invited to attend.
There is currently a particular need for servers in every
position at the 6pm Latin Mass and ushers and greeters at the
11am Sunday Mass. To serve at the altar one must be a male
who has received Confirmation and First Holy Communion.
Men who are high school age or older are trained as crucifers
and thurifers.
Please contact Greg Surovic at

EXPANSION UPDATE: We met with our architect on Sept.
24, and we are one step away from submitting to the
Archdiocese of San Antonio for contractual approval. If all
goes well, all drawings should be “as near as perfect as
possible” and we can get their final approval to proceed. The
hurdles with the City of San Antonio are finished. Contractor
Keller-Martin will shortly finish their pricing proposal, and we
can get started on our foundation piers!
