Thank you for your generosity in donating the hygiene bags. They have no need for any more item donations.

Here is the link for cash donations to Catholic Charities of Central Texas or bring your donation to Mass this weekend.

Please be generous to our brothers and sisters.

The following prayer was composed by the Diocese of Austin for those affected by the recent storms in Central Texas.

God of majesty and compassion,

You set the earth on its foundation

and all elements of nature obey your command.

You created us and know the fragility of human life.

Help us [or our sisters and brothers]

in our time of trouble;

hold back the damaging winds

and contain the waters that threaten our community

so our fears may turn into praise of your goodness.

Have mercy on those who have died in the flood waters.

Welcome them into your Kingdom of peace and joy.

Bring consolation

to those who have lost loved ones and friends.

In your compassion look upon us

and give us tears to mourn their loss

and strength to assist in the needed rebuilding.

Protects us and help us to live for you.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Dios de majestad y compasión,

Tú colocaste a la tierra en su base

y todos los elementos de la naturaleza obedecen tus órdenes.

Tú nos creaste y sabes la fragilidad de la vida humana.

Ayúdanos [o a nuestros hermanos y hermanas]

en nuestro tiempo problemático;

calma las tormentas y contén las aguas que amenazan a nuestra comunidad

de manera que nuestros miedos se tornen en alabanza de tu bondad.

Ten compasión de aquellos que han muerto en las tormentas y en la inundación.

Dales la bienvenida en tu Reino de paz y gozo.

Da Consuelo a aquellos que han perdido a seres amados y a amigos.

En tu compasión míranos y danos lágrimas para llorar su pérdida

y fortalécenos para ayudar en la necesitada reconstrucción.

Protégenos y ayúdanos a vivir para ti.

Te lo pedimos por Cristo nuestro Señor.
