Caps of Love
The NCCW (National Council of Catholic Women) has started a new
Service Project called, Caps of Love; and asked ADCCW (Austin Diocese
Council of Catholic Women) to join them. This is a way we on the
Austin level can make a contribution and help the environment at the
same time. This project just involves collection of hard plastic caps for
recycling; the funds from the sale of these caps will be used to roivide
wheelchairs and service dogs for disabled children.
All plastic caps can be used: laundry detergents, hand sanitizers,
beverage caps (water, tea, juice), toothpaste, shampoo, tennis ball can
lids, salad dressing, peanut butter, medicines, etc. The color doesn’t
matter, just wash them place them in a baggie and drop them near the
Holy Trinkets cabinet or at the next SRLG meeting. (Please remove all
of the paper inserts). Mary White and Dot Absnaider will take them to
the next DCCW meeting on October 30th at St. Mary’s in Taylor, Texas.

The Caring Place
Thank you, Santa Rosa, for your donation of 239 pounds of food to
The Caring Place Food Pantry in September. Based upon the Capital
Area Food Bank conversion formula, parishioners provided 199 meals
to those in need in our community.
The following items are currently in short supply: pasta including
spaghetti and macaroni noodles; canned peaches, corn, carrots, chili,
and tuna fish as well as cereals; baking mixes (cake, cookies,
brownies, muffins, etc.) and toiletry items.
~ Brenda Tyrrell, Santa Rosa's Member Representative;
The Caring Place Advisory Council
Interested in volunteering during the holiday season?
The Caring Place is preparing for our annual Coats for Kids and
Holiday Meal Assistance. We are looking for volunteers who would
like to donate their time from November 3rd to November 26th and
help us spread the holiday spirit. Volunteer shifts will be from 10:00
AM – 3:00 PM. Instead of letting a child go through the winter
without a coat, Coats for Kids allows for children to choose a new coat
that matches their own personal style. Along with Walmart gift cards
for a coat, families receive a gift card to HEB to help them with holiday
meal costs. Please contact Nella Buffmire at 512-943-0726, or by
email at, [email protected] for further information.
Respect Life
Please remember to pray for Pope Francis as he meets in Rome to
consider our life in families. All of us come from a family. They define
us and form our views. Certainly every child deserves a family filled
with love and respect in which to grow up.

Gospel Meditation
This week’s Gospel reminds us to focus on our priorities
because “many are invited but few are chosen.” Sometimes in
prayer or at Mass our attention wavers or we can be easily
distracted. Has this ever happened to you? If so, try to be more
aware of this and redirect your thoughts to prayer or the Mass.
El Evangelio de esta semana nos recuerda que debemos
enfocarnos en nuestras prioridades por que "muchos son
invitados pero pocos los elegidos". Algunas veces al orar durante
la Misa nuestra atención divaga y es fácil distraerse ¿Le ha
pasado esto a usted? Si le ha pasado, trate de estar más
consciente de ello y re direccione sus pensamientos a la oración
de la Misa.
Catholic Social Teaching Corner
In today’s Gospel we see that God continues to invite, but
that the first on the list did not accept the invitation. The second
tier invitees did come, but we see in the parable that it is
possible to be asked to leave if we are not ready to accept all
that God has to offer, both the banquet and the wedding
garment. When we accept being in a relationship with God we
are called to embrace whole new ways of being and thinking
which are determined by God’s will, not ours. Some invited by
God might not be on our list, who is it that God is calling us to
accept that might be difficult right now?
En el Evangelio de hoy vemos que Dios continúa invitando,
pero que el primero en la lista no aceptó la invitación. El
segundo de los invitados vino, pero vemos en la parábola que es
posible que se nos pida irnos si no estamos listos para aceptar lo
que Dios tiene que ofrecer, ambas cosas, el banquete y el traje
de boda. Cuando aceptamos estar en una relación con Dios,
somos llamados a aceptar totalmente nuevas maneras de ser y
pensar las cuales están determinadas por la voluntad de Dios, no
la nuestra. Algunos invitados por Dios puede que no estén en
nuestra lista, ¿A quién nos está llamando Dios a aceptar que
puede que nos resulte difícil en este momento?
