Déficit financiado por Fondos de fin de año
Your 2015 DSF Contributions
Thank You, St. Paul Brothers & Sisters!
In 2015, St. Paul the Apostle Parish was assigned a
goal of $128,000 as part of the Archdiocesan Outreach to our communities through the Diocesan
Services Fund. The parish receives back half of any
amount contributed above that $128,000 goal. We
have just received back $7,188 from this fund which
has been sent to be applied 100% to the principal of
our building loan. That means since it is an extra
payment, none of this went to pay interest, it is all
going to reducing our total loan balance! That brings
our loan balance as of February 12, 2016 to
$3,683,825. Thank you to all who gave to the DSF
this past year. Your contributions benefit needs of
our Houston community and continue to help us
with our needs here at our spiritual home of St.
Paul.
Sus dones al DSF 2015
¡Gracias, hermanos y hermanas de San
Pablo!
En 2015, se le asignó a la parroquia de San Pablo
una meta de $128,000 como parte del apoyo de la
Arquidiócesis a la comunidad en general a través del
Fondo de Servicios Diocesanos. La parroquia recibe
la mitad de la cantidad donada por encima de la meta
de $128,000. Acabamos de recibir de vuelta $7,188
de este fondo que ha sido enviado para aplicarse
100% al principal de nuestro préstamo del edificio.
Eso significa que como es pago extra, nada de esto
se usó para pagar intereses. ¡La cantidad entera va
hacia reducir nuestro balance total del préstamo! La
balancea de nuestro préstamo desde 12 de febrero
2016, está a $3.683.825. ¡Gracias a todos los que
dieron a la DSF este último año! Sus contribuciones
benefician a las necesidades de nuestra comunidad
de Houston y continúa ayudando con nuestras
necesidades aquí en nuestro hogar espiritual de San
Pablo.

LITURGY AND WORSHIP
LITURGIA Y CULTO
Joyce Lubofsky
[email protected] 281.333.3891 Ext. 333
Our Lenten liturgical focus is on those who are preparing for
the celebration of the Sacraments of Initiation at the Great
Vigil of Easter on Holy Saturday evening, the most
important night of the year. Congratulations to our elected
catechumens and candidates who participated in the Rite
of Election last Sunday at St. Helen’s.
Today at the 9 AM English Mass and the 12 Noon Mass in
Spanish, we celebrate the “Penitential Rite” for our elected
candidates who are preparing to receive the sacraments of
Confirmation and/or the Eucharist. This ritual will help them
to uncover and then heal, all that is weak, defective or sinful
in their hearts and to bring out and then strengthen all that
is upright, strong and good with the power of their
baptisms. It is their final preparation before making their
first confession.
Please keep our elect in your prayers!
LENTEN GUIDELINES
Lent is a penitential season and so religious
practices such as daily Mass, reception of the
Sacrament of Penance, the devotion of the
Stations of the Cross, works of charity and
justice, and acts of self-denial are highly
encouraged.
All the Fridays of Lent are days of
abstinence. Good Friday is a day of fast
and abstinence.
Abstinence means that the consumption of
meat is not allowed. Abstinence binds all
persons who have completed their 14th
birthday, unless prevented by poor health.
The Church strongly encourages the
observance of abstinence on all Fridays of the
year.
On days of fasting, one full meal is allowed.
Two other meals, sufficient to maintain
strength, may be taken according to one’s
own needs. Eating between meals is not
allowed although fluids may be taken. Fasting
binds all persons who have completed their
18th Birthday through those who have
completed their 59th year, unless prevented
by poor health.
One excellent Lenten practice
is to participate in the
Stations of the Cross every
Friday of Lent at 7 PM.
Nuestro enfoque de Cuaresma está en todos los que se
preparan para la celebración de los Sacramentos de
Iniciación en la gran Vigilia Pascual que es celebrado el
Sábado Santo, la cual es la noche más importante de todo
el año. Felicitaciones a nuestros catecúmenos y candidatos
elegidos que participaron en el Rito de Elección en domingo
pasado en Santa Helena.
Hoy en las Misas a las 9 AM en inglés y a las 12 PM en
español, celebramos el “Rito Penitencial” para los
candidatos elegidos quienes están preparándose para su
Confirmación y Primera Comunión. Este rito les ayudara
encontrar y sanar todo lo que es débil, defectivo o
pecaminoso en sus corazones y dar fuerza a todo lo recto,
fuerte y bueno con el poder de sus bautismos. Es su
preparación final antes de su Primera Confesión.
¡Favor de incluir a nuestros elegidos en sus oraciones!
REGLAS CUARESMALES
La Cuaresma es un tiempo penitencial y de
prácticas tan religiosas como asistir a la Misa
diaria, participar en el Sacramento de la
penitencia y la devoción de las estaciones de
la Cruz, actos de caridad y justicia y actos de
abnegación son altamente recomendados.
Todos los viernes de Cuaresma son días
de abstinencia. Viernes Santo es día de
ayuno y abstinencia.
Abstinencia significa que el consumo de
carne no está permitido. Abstinencia incluye a
todas las personas que han completado sus
14 años de edad a menos que la salud de la
persona sea delicada. La Iglesia hace una
fuerte invitación a participar en la observancia
de la abstinencia todos los viernes del año.
En los días de ayuno, una comida completa
es permitida. Dos comidas más, suficientes
para mantener la fuerza, se pueden consumir
a las necesidades de la persona. No está
permitido comer entre comidas, aunque se
puede consumir líquidos. El ayuno incluye a
todas las personas que estén entre la edad de
18-59, a menos que la salud de la persona
esté en riesgo.
Una excelente práctica en
la Cuaresma es participar
en el Vía Crucis los viernes
a las 8 PM.

Para esta Cuaresma

Jesús” el cual nos
ayudará a Descubrir a
Jesús y acercarnos a él !
Qué tal si esta Cuaresma
en vez de dejar de comer
chocolates u otra cosa—
¡Vuelve a Descubrir a
Jesús!
PASO UNO: En la Cuaresma, Cristo nos invita a cambiar de
vida. La Iglesia nos invita a vivir la Cuaresma como un
camino hacia Jesucristo, escuchando la Palabra de Dios,
orando, compartiendo con el prójimo y haciendo obras
buenas. Conoce a Jesús de una forma personal. Hoy, estás
recibiendo este libro gratis de Vuelve a Descubrir a Jesús,
el nuevo libro de Matthew Kelly. Tiene 40 capítulos cortos
que te animamos a leer. ¡Un capítulo por día! Cuaresma =
40 días, Libro de 40 Capítulos= en 40 días!
PASO DOS: En la cuaresma se nos invita a arrepentirnos, a
volvernos más a Cristo. Le invitamos a que después de la
Misa de mediodía VENGA el 3er, 4o, y 5o domingos de
Cuaresma (Febrero 28, Marzo 6, y Marzo 13) donde
reflexionaremos acerca de lo que la Palabra de Dios nos dice
para poder mejorar nuestras vidas. Tendrán oportunidad de
comprar comida de la Comadre Raquel (lo cual beneficia a
nuestra parroquia) y compartir con la familia y otras
familias por un tiempo de 30 minutos. Reflexionaremos
acerca de Cristo como Agua Viva, la Luz del Mundo y la
Vida Eterna.

Adult Ministry and Faith formation:
Because Our Faith is too rich and beautiful to have ever learned it ALL…
Contact Heidi Clark, Director of Adult Ministry, 281.333.3891, Ext. 328 or [email protected]
Adult faith formation at St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church is centered around the understanding that living
“The Way” taught by Jesus Christ is a life-long, evolving journey, involving both effort and decision. To enable
adults to explore the faith and deepen their knowledge of God’s Word, we provide many opportunities to
come together in a learning environment. As a diverse community with a small parish feel, we know it is
important to walk that journey with others and to share what we have learned along the way.
Interested in being Catholic?
If you or someone you know is interested in learning more
about becoming Catholic, our RCIA program is just the ticket!
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, is a process of
prayer, reflection, and learning that allows for the continual
discernment of God's will. Contact Heidi Clark, 281.333.3891
or [email protected].
March Theology on Tap: Young

We meet from 7-9 PM at Chuy’s in Webster.
Women’s ACTS Retreat Registration is
Open
Registration forms are already coming in for the next women’s
ACTS retreat set to take place at the Christian Renewal Center
April 7-10. This wonderful community-building experience is
deeply rooted in our Catholic faith. Participants will grow in
their understanding of theology while forging meaningful
friendships with one another. Participants will stay in nicelyfurnished, comfortable, semi-private rooms. The theme of this
year’s retreat is “Do you love me?” John 21:17. Registration
forms are at the Welcome Center. The cost is $205 and
financial help is available for those in need.
Silver Linings Meetings
St. Paul’s group for the over 55 crowd meets on the second

people.

invite you to join us. The shawls are provided to those who are
ill, isolated, grieving or otherwise in need of being wrapped in
our prayers. For more information contact Mary Fitts,
281.486.5895.
Program for ALL Married Couples:
Teams of Our Lady
This is an ongoing formation program for married couples. In
a world where fidelity is no longer esteemed, meeting with
others who value married life brings joy and hope to all.
Teams meet monthly in participants’ homes; it’s open to all
couples who are married in the Catholic Church, and only one
of you needs to be Catholic. Visit www.teamsofourlady.org
for more information. The first step to being placed on a team
is to attend an information session. These take place only
about once a year in this area, and the next one is set for
Sunday, March 6, from 1-2 PM at St. Clare Catholic Church.
Teams are formed with couples of different ages and from a
variety of nearby parishes. It’s a great way to get to know
others better along with your spouse. Questions? Contact
Heidi Clark at 281.333.3891 Ext. 328 or
[email protected].

Book of Memorials
In our desire to acknowledge the contributions
given by members of the St. Paul the Apostle
family in the building of our new church we are
creating a “Book of Gratitude”. Our first step is
to verify that the memorial items that were
funded by generous parishioners are correctly
acknowledged.
As of Ash Wednesday, February 10, a binder
titled “Book of Memorials” may be found on a
table in the narthex. Please refer to this binder if
you donated toward a memorial item to verify
your information. Please contact Maria Conner if
you have questions or comments at 281.333.3891
Ext. 330 or [email protected].
