Reconciliation & First Communion Preparation - Traditionally children cel-ebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation (First Confession) and First Communion in the second grade. For their preparation, children attend Religious Education for two years (1st grade & 2nd grade). The first year is traditionally 1st grade and the second, 2nd grade, is continued preparation for the sacraments and the celebration. Older children who have not celebrated the sacraments and need to prepare participate in the RCIA for Children Program. Register for Religious Education to get your child ready to celebrate the sacraments.
Reconciliación y Preparación de Primera Comunión - los niños celebran tradicionalmente el Sacramento de la Reconciliación (Primera Confesión) y la Primera Comunión en el segundo grado. Para su preparación, los niños atien-den Educación Religiosa por dos años (1er grado y 2do grado). El primer año tradicionalmente consiste de estudiantes del 1er grado y el segundo, del 2do grado. Es una preparación continua para los sacramentos y la celebración. Niños mayores de edad que no han celebrado sus sacramentos y necesitan prepararse, participan en el programa para niños de RICA. Inscriba a sus niños en educación religiosa para prepararlos a celebrar estos sacramentos.
Confirmation - A minimum of two years, traditionally 8th grade and 9th grade, of formal religious education in a parish precedes the Confirmation Preparation Program at Santa Cruz. Students who attend their 8th and 9th grade years will enter into the Confirmation Preparation Program in their 10th grade year. If a student did not attend 8th grade, the DRE / High School RE Coordinator will work with parents to place the child in appropriate classes. These guidelines are in accordance with the Diocese of Austin. Register for Religious Education to get your child ready to celebrate the sacrament of Confirmation.
Confirmación - el programa de preparación para la Confirmación en Santa Cruz se antecede con un mínimo de dos años, tradicionalmente el 8vo y 9no grados, en Educación Religiosa formal en una parroquia. Los estudiantes que atienden los grados de 8vo y 9no entrarán en el programa de Preparación para Confir-mación, al tercer año, o en el 10mo grado. Si un estudiante no atendió el 8vo grado, el coordinador de DRE/Secundaria trabajará con los padres para colocar al joven en las clases apropiadas. Estas guías van de acuerdo con la Diócesis de Austin. Inscriba a su niño(a) en educación religiosa para prepararlo(a) a celebrar el Sacramento de Confirmación.

New Corner Pew Kneelers:One of our parish families provided funding for the 60 new corner pew kneelers installed in our church last week. These kneelers have been asked for by many in the past who could not kneel in these locations when the church is at or near seating capacity. We thank our generous donors!
Nuevos reclinatorios de esquina: una de las familias de la parroquia facilito los fondos necesarios para los 60 reclinatorios nuevos de esquina instalados en nuestra Iglesia la semana pasada. Muchos de nuestros feligreses los habían pedido en el pasado ya que no se podía arrodillar en estas áreas, especialmente cuando la Iglesia llega, o se acerca a su capacidad máxima. ¡Agradecemos la generosidad de nuestros donantes!
Santa Cruz Church, Buda, Texas Vigésimo Tercer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
From the Pastor’s Desk:Scheduling for Masses these past months has been rather chaotic. I am grateful to the priests who have helped during this time and grateful for everyone’s patience.
Between my health issues, vacation, and Fr. Christian’s trip to Mexico to renew his work VISA, we haven’t had much sta-bility. Thankfully, with the start of school, things are returning to normal.
We will return to our usual rotating week-end schedule. One week-end I will celebrate the Saturday and Sunday evening Masses and Fr. Christian will celebrate the two Sunday morning Masses. The next week-end we rotate. The deacons will continue to preach on the 3rd weekend of the month.
In order to see more of our parishioners after Mass, in Sep-tember we will rotate doors after Mass to greet the people.
First weekend: Main street side doorSecond weekend: Main street front doorThird weekend: Office side front doorFourth weekend: Side door near office
Again, I thank everyone for their patience during these last few months.
Fr. Kirby
Del Escritorio del Párroco:La programación de las Misas estos últimos meses ha sido un poco enredada. Estoy agradecido a los sacerdotes que han ayudado durante este tiempo y también estoy agradecido a todos ustedes por su paciencia.
Entre mis problemas de salud, vacaciones y el viaje a México por el Padre Christian para renovar su VISA de trabajo, no hemos tenido mucha estabilidad. Afortunadamente, con el comienzo de la escuela, las cosas están volviendo a la normalidad.
Volveremos a nuestro horario habitual de fin de semana rotativo. Un fin de semana yo celebraré las Misas vespertinas el sábado y el domingo y el Padre Christian celebrará las dos Misas dominicales matutinas. Luego el próximo fin de semana hacemos la rotación. Los diáconos seguirán predicando el tercer fin de semana del mes.
En septiembre empezaremos la rotación de puertas después de Misa para poder ver más gente y poder saludar a más de nuestros feligreses.
Primer fin de semana: puerta lateral de la calle Main (principal)Segundo fin de semana: puerta al frente (lado de la Calle Main)Tercer fin de semana: puerta al frente (lado de la Oficina parroquial)Cuarto fin de semana: puerta lateral (lado de la Oficina parroquial)
Otra vez, quiero agradecerles a todos por su paciencia durante estos últimos meses.
Padre Kirby
Let’s Keep our Young People in the Church!Before my arrival at Santa Cruz, Fr. Deane began the Sunday evening Mass to accommodate our young people. Over these past years it has been wonderful to see our young people participate more fully in this Mass as lectors, communion ministers, ushers, and choir members. This Mass was instituted first and foremost for our young people, and not just as a “convenience Mass” for people in the area. Anyone with children and grandchildren know that it is a real challenge to keep them connected to the church.
I was saddened to hear that after Mass on Sunday evening (August 23rd) a parishioner followed a young lady to her family’s car to “inform her” that she was not properly dressed. Since her father was present, it would have been more appropriate to privately express the concerns to the father rather than leaving the young woman in tears. Will this young woman ever want to come to Mass again? Who knows? If I were in her situation, (to be honest), I probably would not.
We all agree that we should come dressed modestly for Mass; how-ever, it is ultimately the parents’ responsibility to approve how their young people dress for Mass.
Let’s work together to make our young people feel welcome and not alienate them from the House of God. As Jesus said: “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.”
Father Kirby
¡Mantengamos a Nuestros Jóvenes en la Iglesia!Antes de que yo llegara a Santa Cruz, el Padre Deane comenzó la Misa dominical en la tarde para nuestros jóvenes. En estos últimos años ha sido maravilloso ver a nuestros jóvenes participar más plenamente en esta Misa como lectores, ujieres, ministros de comunión y miembros del coro. Esta Misa fue instituida primeramente para nuestros jóvenes y no sólo como una “Misa de conveniencia” para la gente en el área. Cualquier persona con hijos y nietos saben que es un verdadero reto mantener una unión con la iglesia.
Me entristeció saber que después de la Misa el domingo por la tarde (23 de agosto) un feligrés siguió a una joven al coche de su familia para “informarle” que no estaba adecuadamente vestida. Puesto que su padre estaba presente, hubiera sido más apropiado expresar privadamente su preocupación al padre en lugar de dejar a la joven llorando. ¿Querrá volver esta joven a Misa otra vez? Quién sabe. Si yo estuviera en su situación, (honestamente), probablemente no volvería.
Todos estamos de acuerdo que debemos vestirnos modestamente para la Misa; sin embargo, últimamente es la responsabilidad de los padres de aprobar cómo se visten sus hijos para la Misa.
Trabajemos juntos para que nuestros jóvenes se sientan bienvenidos y no los alejemos de la casa de Dios. Como dijo Jesús: “Aquel de ustedes que no tenga pecado, que le arroje la primera piedra.”

SANTA CRUZ CATHOLIC SCHOOL/ESCUELA CATOLICA
News from the Principal’s DeskThe students attended their first Holy Hour this past Friday from 2:00 to 3:00
p.m. in the Church. It is wonderful to see and hear the young people praying and reflecting upon God in his Holy Place. We invite any parishioner wanting to join us on during this time on the First Friday of each month.
Preparations for our Parish Fiesta are moving along at a rapid pace. The school is challenging its families to sell $20,000.00 in raffle tickets. If that is accomplished, I will have the privilege of kissing a pig! If we raise $30,000.00, Fr. Kirby has said he will happily kiss the pig, too! Needless to say, the race is on to reach our goal!
We are all enjoying our first long weekend of the school year. We have been in school a month now, and the students are finishing up reviews of what was learned last year and are starting into new lessons with enthusiasm. The students are busy, challenging and engaged!
Have a blessed week,Mrs. Flanagan

Noticias del Escritorio de la DirectoraLos estudiantes asistieron a su primera Hora Santa este viernes pasado de
2:00 a 3:00 p.m. en la Iglesia. Es maravilloso ver y escuchar a los jóvenes rezar y reflexionar en Dios en su Casa Santa. Invitamos a cualquier feligrés que desee unirse a nosotros durante este tiempo cada primer viernes del mes.
Preparativos para la Fiesta Parroquial están avanzando rápidamente. La es-cuela está haciendo un reto a sus familias de vender $20,000.00 en boletos de rifa. Si se llega a lograr, ¡!tendré el privilegio de besar a un marranito! Si vendemos $30,000.00, ¡el Padre Kirby dijo que felizmente el besaría al cerdo, también! No hace falta decirlo, pero hay mucho movimiento para ¡alcanzar nuestra meta!
Todos estamos disfrutando de nuestro primer fin de semana, con un día extra por el Día del Trabajador, este año escolar. Ya cumplimos el mes de haber vuelto a la escuela y los alumnos están terminando sus comentarios sobre lo que aprendieron el año pasado y han empezado las nuevas lecciones con entusiasmo.
Bendiciones,Sra. Flanagan

Becoming Catholic
R.C.I.A.Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
Are you, or do you know anyone, who has not yet been baptized or was baptized in another Christian faith? Ever wondered why Catholics bless themselves with the sign of the cross, what they believe about communion, what’s up with all those saints and statues, and rosaries, and standing, sitting, and kneeling, why does Mary seem so important? Well, why not come and see and come and learn?
This year’s RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) Program begins on Thursday, September 10. There is no cost, no obligation and no commit-ment necessary. In a series of friendly, informative and spiritually exciting classes we will explore the major things Catholics believe and why. We will learn more about the Mass and what is happening and why. Learn about prayer, scripture, sacraments, and Church history, and much more. Catholics are welcomed!
If interested, please call Sandy Dodson at (512) 213-4554 or Deacon John Kerrigan at (214) 886-8239. You may also email Deacon John at [email protected].
