  •                               Prime Timers, January, 2022

    This website is now up and running again after a long recess. We were hoping that we could safely meet again in January.  However, Covid, especially the Omicron virus, has dictated otherwise!  For now, we will plan to restart in February.  


    We warmly welcome men and women who are new to the parish.  To those who are already members, we invite you to submit your ideas about speakers, activities, or favorite restuarants.  We love to eat!  If you are a senior looking for a way to participate in a variety of activites with other friendly people, this group is for you!  For updates you can check this website, the parish website, or Prime Timers EVENTS located in the narthex.  For further information you may also contact us at:  primetimers20@gmail.com

    The follow is not a social event, but rather an event that might interest you:
     

    History of Ancient Israel

    Professor John Dahmus is back with us for a six week series entitled "History of Ancient Israel".  Dr. Dahmus is a much respected professor of History and has been a very popular presenter here at St. Catherine's as well as at the Lifetime Learning Institute located here in Austin.  

    The class will meet on Fridays at 10am, online via ZOOM.

    Class dates are: January 21st, January 28th, February 4th, February 18th, February 25th, and March 4th. It is fine if you miss a class, but each class builds on the class before.  
    Dr. Dahmus cannot meet on February 11th.

    If you would like to be on the mailing list for this class, please send an email to:
    jennifer.gamblin@stcatherine-austin.org  to receive the link to this series.

    September Prime Timers: A Posting by Loretta Dahmus

    As you noticed in the bulletin, the Prime Timers is  still continuing its Covid-19 recess.  The Delta variant and break-through cases have contributed to the recess extension.  It will be so exciting when we finally get together again!

    Please pick up the Prime Timers Reminiscences created by Juanita.  It's beautifully done, and it will forever remain in our archives.  Thank you, Juanita! 

    Every few weeks, I will post parish wide activities that may be of interest to Prime Timers.  In addition, I will add a reflection by well known authors such as Joan Chittister, Thomas Merton, Henri Nouwen, Paula D'Archy, and other contemporary and non-contemporary Catholic authors. I, too, may add a reflection of my own.  At least a reflection will give you something different to read in these postings!  I will even add some pictures, at times!       

    The reflection this post is taken from Can You Drink the Cup written by Henri Nouwen.  He taught at Notre Dame, Yale, and Harvard Universities.  He has been the the pastor of the L'Arche Daybreak community in Toronto where he shares his life with people with mental disabilities.  

         "When we lift the cup of our life and share with one another our sufferings and joys in mutual vulnerability, the new covenant can become visible among us.  The surprise of it all is that it is often the least among us who reveal to us that our cup is a cup of Blessing"  



    Future postings, I hope, will be a little more colorful with a few pieces of clip art and photos to add a little more interest.  Let me know if you have read this page so that we can determine the number of Prime Timers who read it.  Please send any comments or suggestions to:  prime-timers20@gmail.com
