Congrats to Kathy Hackett and Tom Johnson!
Tom and Kathy were the recipients of the 2009 Lumen Gentium
Award. The Bishop awards this to one individual or married
couple from each parish in the Diocese for their work in doing
the “ordinary in an extraordinary way”. From their ever-present
service at Mass, to coordinating the ASSLC (Austin State
School) volunteers, and so much more, they are a light of the
world at the University Catholic Center.
St. Louis Catholic School has been awarded the 2009 Favorite
Private School by the readers of Austin Family magazine. Call

Weekly Reflection Question:
For July 5 (Mk 6:1-6a):
Jesus was rejected in his native place. Ask the Holy
Spirit for assistance the next time you fear rejection
or are rejected.
For July 12 (Mk 6:7-13):
Jesus sent the disciples out with nothing, so they could prove
God provides all. How do you respond when you are called to
help those with nothing?
For July 19 (Mk 6:30-34):
Jesus instructed the disciples to "come away … and rest." Make
a commitment to set aside time this week to rest with God.
For July 26 (Jn 6:1-15):
How brave this boy must have been to offer to share his lunch
with Jesus. What acts of bravery are you willing to accomplish
for the Lord?
Micah 6 Food Pantry
UCC participates in the ecumenical Micah 6 food
pantry through donation and volunteering on

baskets near the fountain. We ask that you continue to support
the Micah 6 Food Pantry with your generous donations. Contact
