KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS PAMPHLET STAND The Knights of Columbus Pamphlet stand is located in the Narthex of the Church, and Parishioners are encouraged to take any pamphlet that appeals to them.
WEDDING ANNIVERSARIES Do you have an wedding anniversary coming up? Your devotion to the Sacrament of Marriage is a cause for celebration; therefore, we invite couples to please call the Parish Office and arrange to receive a blessing at one of our Masses.
6TH ANNUAL ST. JOSEPH GALA SPONSORSHIPS AVAILABLE The Gala Committee is preparing for our 6th Annual St. Joseph Gala to be held on Saturday, September 29 at Mario’s Ballroom in Mission. We still have table sponsorships available. Please come by the Parish Office for more information.
PHASE I ENVELOPES There has been a concern expressed that there are green and yellow envelopes for Phase I Capital Campaign. Either one is acceptable, and you will be credited for your pledge. Thank you for your generosity, and may the Lord continue to bless you and your family.
MASS INTENTIONS AND SANCTUARY CANDLE We are now taking Mass intentions for January – June 2019 in the Parish Office. Please fill out a Mass Intention form for each intention and/or Sanctuary Candle. Intentions are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. The donation per intention is $5. If paying with cash, please bring the exact amount. Intentions are limited to one person per intention.
INTENCIONES DE MISA Y VELA DEL SANTUARIO Estamos tomando las intenciones de Misa para enero- junio de 2019 en la Oficina Parroquial. Por favor de pasar a llenar la forma de Intención de Misa y/o Vela Del Santuario. Las intenciones son aceptadas en orden de aparición. La donación por intención es de $5. Si es en efectivo, favor de traer la cantidad exacta. Las intenciones están limitadas a una persona por intención.
COLLECTIONS If you are donating to multiple collections, PLEASE make a separate check for St. Vincent De Paul. St. Vincent has its own checking account, and placing all collections in one check makes it more difficult to separate. The rest of the collections can be done with one check, for example Sunday’s and the Capital Campaign. Thank you for your generosity, and may the Lord continue to bless you and your family. **REMINDER: all checks must be written in either black or blue ink.**
Donations NEW ALTAR The restoration of the “Stillman” altar is well underway. We are looking forward to the installation of the altar in August and its dedication by Bishop Flores on September 18. This historic altar was given by the Stillman family of Brownsville to Mercy Hospital in 1923. When the hospital closed, Fr. Norbert Deddens acquired it and moved it here in the 1970’s. Unfortunately, it was removed and the current movable wooden altar was put in. The mensa (table top) of the altar was found a few years ago, and we began the process of looking into having it restored. Impetus was given for this project when Bishop Flores, as per canon law, encouraged all churches to have fixed altars. Its restoration is a significant event for the history of our Diocese. The cost of this renovation will be approximately $34,000. We have already received some substantial donations toward this project.
Please patronize our Sponsor of the Week

Phase I Capital Campaign
Pastor’s Corner Chapter six of John’s Gospel provided us with the teaching of Jesus about the Eucharist. He is very clear that His Flesh is true food and His Blood true drink. In the Eucharist, we are fed with the Bread from Heaven that nourishes us unto eternal life. The short catechesis that I gave about the Mass during the last few Sundays should be a primer to encourage us to learn more about the Sacred Liturgy. I am recommending three books on the Liturgy to help you learn more about the Mass. The more you know about the Mass, the more fruitful your participation will be. My three recommendations are: 1. At the Supper of the Lamb by Paul Turner (Liturgy Training Publications) 2. The Mystery of Faith by Lawrence J. Johnson (also available in Spanish) (Federation of Diocesan Liturgical Commissions) 3. Encountering Christ in the Words of the Mass by Christopher Carstens & Douglas Martis (Liturgy Training Publications)
