Hello everyone! As you can see I am playing around with a new format for our newsletter. I want a digital piece where you can easily find information about our ministry and something you can pass on to others. Continue to scroll down for all the content. Let me know what you think.
In this issue you will find a list of events that we are working on scheduling for 2018, a calendar of upcoming events, and FYI related announcements that I thought you would be interested in.
If you can help with any of the events for next year, please let me know.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Did you know...the Knights of Columbus councils throughout the Austin Diocese raised over $80,000 this year? That amount was matched by The Supreme Council of Knights of Columbus. That money is now going to fund the purchase of not one...but two brand new sonogram machines at the St. John Paul II Life Center in Austin. Thank a Knight today!!

On this Thanksgiving, enjoy one of my favorite songs from Matthew West.
Eternal God, creator and sustainer of life, bless us with the courage to defend all life from conception to natural death. Bless us with the strength to respect all peoples from east to west, from north to south, so that we may truly follow the call of Jesus to be neighbor. We ask this in the name of Jesus, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit. Amen
