CHRIST THE GOOD SHEPHERD CATHOLIC COMMUNITY July 12
CHRIST THE GOOD SHEPHERD CATHOLIC COMMUNITY SPRING, TEXAS 1 July 12, 2015 12 de Julio 2015 15TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Welcome Fr. Desy We welcome Fr. Desmond (Desy) Daniels to the Christ the Good Shepherd Community. Fr. Desy and I ministered together in our previous parish, St. Luke the Evangelist. We are both excited about the opportunity to share ministry again. You will always find a beautiful smile on Fr. Desy’s face… and his guitar not too far away. Things are happening at CGS! As you all can see, the old rectory has been demolished leaving space for the future needs of our parish community. I also want you to know that we have been in dialogue with the owner of the 10.4 acres of land that is directly to our south fronting onto Louetta. He is interested in selling and we are interested in buying, if we can come up with a good deal. Our present property, except for the space where the old rectory was, is completely filled and we need space to expand for the future of our parish. This is why we have begun these conversations. If all of this works out, it will be very exciting for our community and our future needs. We continue to work on our Master Plan. Thank you to everyone who took the time to fill out a survey. Those surveys are being compiled, and we have begun interviewing ministry leaders to get more information. Our Finance Council has interviewed four capital campaign companies and will soon choose one to help us with a capital fundraising campaign. The first step will be a feasibility study in order to estimate approximately how much money our community will be able to raise. This will help us prioritize what phases of work can be done and when with our new Master Plan. From there we will be able to begin our own capital campaign drive. WE ARE MAKING PROGRESS! Playground All of the rain we are having has delayed the work on our playground. We are hopeful that this will begin very soon. Thank you to all who have donated to the playground fund. As of this writing we have raised $56,299.31 toward a total of $94,809.78; thank you. ARISE Coming This Fall! You may have seen the word ARISE in our bulletin. ‘ARISE Together in Christ’ is a three-year parish-centered process of spiritual renewal and evangelization that enables people to deepen their faith, develop a closer relationship with Christ, grow in community, and reach out in service to others. It emphasizes people living in good relationship with one another, as they make concrete applications of the gospel to their life situations. We will be inviting people to have weekly meetings in their homes for six weeks in the coming fall season. This will be a GREAT opportunity to build community and get to know others at CGS. Christ the Good Shepherd come to our aid. Fr. James Burkart, Pastor [email protected] 15° DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO Bienvenido P. Desy Damos la Bienvenida a P. Desmond (desy) Daniels a la Comunidad Católica de Christ the Good Shepherd Comunidad. El P. Desy y yo colaboramos juntos en nuestra parroquia anterior, Saint Luke the Evangelist. Ambos estamos muy contentos de tener la oportunidad de compartir ministerio de nuevo. Siempre se encontrará con una hermosa sonrisa del P. Desy… y su guitarra no muy lejos. ¡Hay cosas que están aconteciendo en CGS! Como todos ustedes pueden ver, la antigua rectoría ha sido demolida dejando espacio para las futuras necesidades de nuestra comunidad parroquial. También quiero que sepan que continuamos con el diálogo con el propietario de 10.4 acres de tierra que está directamente a nuestro sur frente a Louetta. Él está interesado en vender y estamos interesados en la compra, si se puede llegar a un buen acuerdo. La actual propiedad, salvo por el espacio en la antigua rectoría, estamos completamente llenos y necesitamos espacio para expandir el futuro de nuestra parroquia. Esta es la razón por la que hemos iniciado estas conversaciones. Si todo esto funciona, será muy emocionante para nuestra comunidad y nuestras necesidades futuras. Seguimos trabajando en nuestro Plan Maestro. Gracias a todos los que tomaron el tiempo para completar una encuesta. Las encuestas se están compilando y hemos empezado a entrevistar a líderes de ministerios para obtener más información. Nuestro Consejo de Finanzas ha entrevistado a cuatro empresas de campaña y pronto elegirá a una para ayudarnos con una campaña de recaudación de capital. El primer paso será un estudio de factibilidad para estimar aproximadamente cuánto dinero nuestra comunidad será capaz de recaudar. Esto nos ayudará a priorizar qué fases de trabajo se puede hacer y cuando con nuestro nuevo Plan Maestro. A partir de ahí podremos comenzar nuestra propia campaña de capital. ¡ESTAMOS PROGRESANDO! Zona de juegos Toda la lluvia que estamos teniendo ha retrasado el trabajo en nuestro parque infantil de recreo. Estamos esperanzados que este comenzará muy pronto. Gracias a todos los que han donado al fondo del parque infantil. A partir de este escrito hemos recaudado $56.299,31 hacia un total de $94.809,78; Gracias. ¡LEVANTARSE¡ ¡Próximamente este otoño! Puede haber visto la palabra LEVANTARSE en nuestro boletín. ‘LEVÁNTESE Juntos en Cristo’ es un proceso centrado en la parroquia de tres años de renovación espiritual y evangelización que permite a la gente profundizar su fe, desarrollar una relación más cercana con Cristo, crecer en la comunidad y extender la mano en el servicio a otros. Enfatiza a la gente que viva en una buena relación el uno con el otro, ya que hacen aplicaciones concretas del evangelio a sus situaciones de vida. Invitaremos a la gente a tener reuniones semanales en sus casas durante seis semanas en la próxima temporada de otoño. Esto será una GRAN oportunidad de construir la comunidad y llegar a conocer a otros en CGS.
