A STEWARDSHIP MOMENT
As today’s gospel reveals, the first meal shared with the risen
Lord happened in a place called Emmaus. Perhaps there is no
better time to reflect on this story than in those prayerful
moments at Mass when we return to our place after receiving
Holy Communion. Those few moments give us an opportunity
to reflect on our stewardship of Christ’s presence within us. We
have a chance to practice hospitality by inviting Jesus into our
hearts to walk and talk with us about our own Emmaus
journey. We can relive once again the time when he broke
bread for the disciples. And just as they did, we too can
recognize Christ in this meal we have just shared with others.

FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
Saint Vincent’s Corner
Today, we celebrate “Good Shepherd Sunday” where we reflect on Jesus’ care and love of us and hear his
words, “I came so that they may have life and have it more abundantly.”
By your gift to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul you will reveal the love of the “Good Shepherd” to your
suffering brothers and sisters. Because of your generosity, during the past year, we have been able to
assist struggling conferences in West VA, Texas, Bolivia, Guatemala and several others affected by recent disasters. For more information about Saint Vincent de Paul, please visit www.svdprr.org.
Words of Life
We would like to pay homage to all brave mothers who dedicate themselves to their own family without reserve,
who suffer in giving birth to their children, and who are ready to face any sacrifice in order to pass on to them the
best of themselves … How hard they have to fight against difficulties and dangers! How frequently they are
called to face genuine ‘wolves’ determined to snatch and scatter the flock! And these heroic mothers do not
always find support in their surroundings, as the cultural models frequently promoted do not encourage
motherhood. In the name of progress and modernity, the values of fidelity, chastity, sacrifice, in which a host of
Christian wives and mothers have and continue to distinguish themselves, are presented as obsolete. Continues

FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
CATHOLIC SOCIAL
TEACHING
On this Sunday, our Risen Lord is recognized
as the good shepherd who protects us and
cares for us. Being the recipients of God’s care,
we need to realize that Peter’s words to the
people of Jerusalem are addressed to us as
well – we too must reform and embrace a new
way of living if we wish to be a part of Christ’s
fold. That new way of life is to bring God’s care
and mercy to the poor, the vulnerable, the
forgotten and abandoned through our
relationships with them.
En este domingo, nuestro Señor Resucitado es
reconocido como el buen pastor que nos
protege y nos cuida. Al ser quienes reciben el
cuidado de Dios, necesitamos darnos cuenta
de las palabras de Pedro a la gente de
Jerusalén, las cuales están dirigidas a nosotros
también – nosotros también debemos reformar
y adoptar una nueva manera de vivir si
deseamos ser parte del redil de Cristo. Esa
nueva manera de vivir es llevar el cuidado y la
misericordia de Dios a los pobres, los
vulnerables, los olvidados y abandonados a
través de nuestras relaciones con ellos.

"I have set before you life and death . . .choose life, that you and your descendants may live!"
(Dt. 31:19)
Words of Life
Continued from page 5
….Although, a woman who lives consistent with her principles often feels deeply alone, her
guiding principle is Christ, who has revealed the love which the Father bestows on us. A woman
who believes in Christ finds a powerful support precisely in this love that bears everything. It is a
love that enables her to believe that all she does for a child conceived, born, adolescent or adult,
she does at the same time for a child of God.
~ Pope Saint John Paul the Great

What about our debt?
There’s no short answer to this question. Our current 30 acres and
construction (parish offices/hall, religious education building, pavilion, our
church, the McNeil Road exit and additional parking) were at a cost of about
$25,000,000. Our church was dedicated in 2006. The Diocese of Austin
loaned the monies for our Saint William campus and facilities to be constructed. The capital campaign of 2001 garnered pledges totaling $3,800,000. The
2007 through December 2012 campaign raised $6,000,000 from
approximately 2,611 donors. There were approximately 3,900 registered
parishioner households, at that time. This left the parish with a debt balance.
Upon Fr. Dean’s arrival, the parish has since been aggressively attending to
this debt. Thanks to the good and generous stewards of our parish, over the
last four years we have whittled our debt down to its current $6,000,000.
In this three-year campaign effort of 2014, we have a strong and large parish
family of more than 5,800 households. We believe in coming together as a
parish family for the greater good of Saint William over the next three years.
We can reduce our current debt and construct our much needed parish
activity center. We are currently working out the details of debt reduction with
the diocese. Updates will follow.
¿Qué pasará con la deuda?
No hay una respuesta breve a esta pregunta. Nuestros actuales 30 acres y
las instalaciones (oficinas parroquiales/salón parroquial, edificio de educación religiosa, pabellón, nuestra iglesia, la salida de McNeil Road y el estacionamiento adicional) tuvieron un costo de alrededor de $25,000,000 de
dólares. Nuestra iglesia fue consagrada en 2006. La Diócesis de Austin
prestó el dinero para nuestro campus de Saint William y las instalaciones
que se construyeron. En la campaña capital del 2001 recaudamos un total
$3,800,000 dólares. En la campaña del 2007 hasta diciembre del 2012 se
recaudó $6,000,000 dólares con la colaboración de solo 2,611 donantes. En
aquel entonces había aproximadamente 3,900 familias. Sin embargo aún
teníamos una deuda por saldar. Con la llegada de P. Dean, la parroquia ha
estado dedicándose a reducir esta deuda. Gracias a la colaboración de
nuestros buenos y generosos parroquianos, en los últimos cuatro años
hemos reducido nuestra deuda a solo $6,000,000 dólares.
En esta campaña de tres años del 2014, tenemos una familia parroquial más
fuerte y grande, con más de 5,800 familias registradas. Si unimos nuestros
esfuerzos como familia parroquial, en los próximos tres años, por el bien
común de Saint William, podremos reducir nuestra deuda actual y construir
nuestro centro de actividades parroquial que tanto necesitamos. Estamos
trabajando actualmente con la diócesis en los detalles para reducir la deuda
actual. Los seguiremos informando de nuestros avances.
