are in wheelchairs and could not come to church without us. For
more information, sign up at the front counter; call Kathy Hackett

Mary and Joseph followed the religious law and customs in
presenting Jesus at the temple. Are we doing all we can to ensure
that those in our care are following the precepts of the Church?
(The precepts are: attending Mass, receiving the sacrament of
Confession, receiving the Eucharist, fasting and abstaining on the
prescribed days, and providing for the Churchs material needs.)

Diocese of Austin Pastoral Plan
The Diocese of Austin is beginning the process to develop a new
Pastoral Plan, an important document that guides the mission and
direction of the Diocese for the next five years and responds to
pastoral needs. To better understand those pastoral needs, the
planning team is hosting a series of listening sessions throughout the
Diocese. These sessions are open to everyone, and it is their hope
that you will take part in this important process. The following
listening sessions will be in English:

Feb. 5, 7 to 9 pm, St. Vincent de Paul Parish, Austin
Feb. 6, 7 to 9 pm, Reicher Catholic High School, Waco

We encourage any interested UCC community members to attend
these upcoming sessions. If you decide to attend, please advise one
of our pastoral staff members so that we know that the UCC has
been represented at these gatherings!
