Pet Blessing - Save the Date! October 7 at 3:00 PM in the Labyrinth
See, I am now establishing my covenant with you and your descendants after you
and with every living creature that was with you: the birds, the tame animals, and all the wild animals that were with you—all that came out of the ark. -Genesis 9:9
How the pet blessing works: all animals are welcome, they should be leashed or caged accordingly, each will be blessed by Fr. Samuel.

It was an unforgettable experience! All of us want to express our deepest appreciation to all who supported us in prayer.
Be a Parish Volunteer Entrepreneur! Our church candles are very popular and need to be replenished several times a week. All you need is one hour in your week to be your own boss replacing the empty candles with new ones. The beauty of this ministry is you can choose any hour (8AM to 8PM) on day you want! Our coordinator will provide a quick training and then you are on your own with your chosen schedule. Please contact emmaus@emmausparish.org or 512.261.8500 and thank you!

And the Funnies...
A rabbi and a priest were talking. The rabbi leans over and asked, "So how high can you advance in your organization?"The priest said, "If I'm lucky, I guess I could become a bishop."
"Well, could you get any higher than that?" asked the rabbi.
"I suppose that if my works are seen in a very good light that I might be made an archbishop," said the priest a bit cautiously.
"Is there any way that you might go higher?"
"If all the saints should smile, I guess I could be made a cardinal," mused the priest humbly.
"Could you be anything higher that a cardinal?" probed the rabbi.
Hesitating a little bit, the priest said, "Well, I suppose there's an outside chance I could be elected pope."
The rabbi continues to press, "Isn't there anything higher than pope you could become?"
"What! You think I could be Christ himself? I could never do that!" exclaimed the priest.
The rabbi leaned back and said, "Well, one of our boys already made it...."
God is talking to one of his angels. He said, "Boy, I just created a 24-hour period of alternating light and darkness on Earth."
The angel replied, "What are you going to do now?"
God said, "Call it a day."
