All couples deserve a Marriage Encounter Weekend - a time to rekindle your sacrament. A special non-residential weekend is coming to Emmaus Parish. Do you have teenage kids and don't want to leave them at home all weekend alone?
Or maybe you have aging parents who live with you and they don't feel comfortable leaving them alone at night. There are many reasons that a non-residential weekend could be perfect for you... and we've got one coming up on July 13-15 at Emmaus Catholic Parish in Lakeway. The weekend is exactly the same as at a retreat center, but the couple goes home at night to sleep at their own house. You can find out more info and sign up online at www.austinme.org. Share this post with your friends so they will know about this special opportunity they deserve to take their marriage to the next level.
Congratulations to our new
Pastoral Council members!
** Scott Tracy, Ed Mendel, Jr. and Tammy Reagan **
They join James Vinson, Landon Marino, Penelope Amaya, Ellie DaGian, Geoff Land and Kathleen Morgan as our council for 2018-2019.And the Funnies...
There were two Catholic laymen shipwrecked on a desert island. The minutes they got to the island, one of them started screaming and yelling: "We're going to die! We're going to die! There's no food! No Water! We're going to die!"The second man was propped up against a palm tree and acting so calmly it drove the first man crazy.
"Don't you understand? We're going to die!" the first man said.
"You don't understand. I make $500,000 a year," said the second man.
The first man looked at him quite dumbfounded and asked: "What difference does that make? We're on a island with no food and no water! We're going to die!"
The second man answered, "You just don't get it. I make $500,000 a year and I donated one time to the diocesan stewardship fund. My bishop will find me."
