Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament: How and Why
Fr. Tom Frank and the Benediction Experience Community
invite all to a three-hour spiritual retreat at San Jose Parish,
this Saturday, June 28th from 9:00 am until 12 Noon
beginning in the Parish Hall with a talk by Fr. Kevin Rai,

the Church with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.
San Jose is in South Austin on Oak Crest, off of Oltorf.
Micah 6 Food Pantry
UCC participates in the ecumenical Micah 6
food pantry through donation and volunteering
on Thursdays and Saturdays. Many of the people
we serve are homeless. Don’t forget our “neighbors” who
have nothing during the summer months. Please continue to
bring canned goods and packaged dry goods to Sunday Mass
for the baskets near the fountain. We ask that you continue to
support the Micah 6 Food Pantry with your generous
donations. Thanks to all for your help.
Weekly Reflection Question:
Do you spread the Gospel at every opportunity? In
which situations are you hesitant to spread the
Gospel?
University Graduate Students & Professionals-
UGAP is a group of post-college age people who
share and live the love of Christ in community
through worship, faith formation, social service,
spiritual development and fellowship. We meet on Tuesdays
at 7 pm in the Mother Teresa Room throughout the Summer.
Paulist Fun Fact of the Week:
As you can read more about on the left cover, last
week the Paulists are celebrating their
Sequicentennial (that’s a 150th anniversary)! The
National Celebration is wrapping up today; look
forward to our celebration the weekend of November 1st.
