PASTORAL COLUMN Dear Brothers and Sisters, Welcome home! I could not think of a more appropriate feast than Corpus Christi for us to return home to our parish church. This feast is really a summation of who we are and why we are here. Our primary reason to be here in this sacred space is to worship our loving God and in return, He nourishes us with His own Body and Blood. And then, we become what we receive – the Body of Christ in the world. These last months have been some of the toughest of my entire priesthood, and like all of us, remaining faithful to who we are has brought us to this day. Last week at the priests’ convocation in Galveston, one of the speakers said to us that a decapitated body cannot live; likewise, a head that is decapitated cannot live. If we sepa- rate ourselves from Christ, who is the head of the Body, the Church, then we will die. We cannot live apart from Christ. And Christ needs His Body, the Church, to be vibrant and alive so as to continue the mission began with His passion, death and resurrection. The days following the flood, when we lost our parish home, the cry went forth, “WE ARE THE CHURCH!” Yes, we are the Church and being Church comes with responsibilities and accountability to Christ, our head. Friends, this building represents this and so much more. We are Church with this building and without it. But, as we have all experienced, it is so much easier to be Church when we have a home to gather and worship our God and be strengthened as the Body of Christ in the world. As you have seen, there are a few changes in the church. In the narthex we now have a Welcome Center. We want this a place where people have the opportunity to ask questions about parish life and even to register as members of our community. The staff has made a commitment to be present to kick off this expanded welcome ministry. Also, in the narthex, the Hospitality Ministry has found a new home. Gone are the corner hiding places to make room for closets for bulletins, baskets and other items needed for the ministry. In the nave, there are several changes. First and center is the new altar. Again, I thank the donors who made the four angels possible. The angels stand in adoration of what happens on the altar with each angel holding an item that is needed to worship the Lord, God. The newly designed ambo sits on the left as you face the altar. This ambo is completely accessible for those with mobility difficulties. The “lectern” part of the ambo raises and lowers to accommodate adults, children and those who use wheelchairs. It really is a symbol of our moto to be a people for others. In fact, in the lowest position, the reading table slides in to the lap of a person sitting in a chair. S/he can read from the ambo just as able-bodied people can. We switched sides so that those using a wheel chair can wheel right up to the ambo without having to cross the entire sanctuary again. So, with the angels on the altar and the switching places of the presider and deacon’s chairs with the ambo – well, it all looks different. You may also notice that we took the two confessionals (also referred to as the Chapels of Reconciliation) and divided the same space into three confessionals. There’s still ample room in each of the confessionals. All in all, it’s just good to be home. And, if you haven’t done so, be sure to check out the Lady Chapel and don’t forget to look up! My heartfelt thanks go out to everyone for making the Dedication of the Church and Altar possible. It was a lot of work to get to this point and I readily recognize my inability to do this alone. May God bless you each and every one. The reception afterwards in the tent was a perfect way to say “good-bye” to the tent structure that kept us housed during these months. There are days I am just overwhelmed by the goodness and greatness of God that I have to sit in His presence and let my heart overflow. This evening, June 3rd, we welcome Fr. Jeff Hebert to join us for a Mass of Thanksgiving for the gift of priesthood. Fr. Jeff was ordained for the Diocese of Little Rock, Arkansas last Saturday, May 27th. What a great event to be a part of the ordination of four wonderful young men. The Diocese of Little Rock ordained another four Saturday morning, June 2nd. Along with Fr. Jeff’s Mass of Thanksgiving, those graduating are present at the Life Teen Mass, which is also a Baccalaureate Mass. New beginning are wonderful to celebrate. But, for a new beginning, we also need an ending. We have to let go of the old to start new. It seems to be a theme in the life of our parish these days. Happy graduation and many blessings to all in your new beginnings. With my prayers for our parish renewal,

COLUMNA PASTORAL Queridos hermanos y hermanas, ¡ Bienvenidos a casa! No podía pensar en una fiesta más apropiada que Corpus Christi (El Cuerpo de Cristo) para que regresáramos a casa a nuestra iglesia parroquial. Esta fiesta es realmente una suma de quiénes somos y por qué esta- mos aquí. Nuestra razón principal para estar aquí en este espacio sagrado es para adorar a nuestro amoroso Dios y, a cambio, Él nos nutre con Su propio Cuerpo y Sangre. Y luego, nos convertimos en lo que recibimos: el Cuerpo de Cristo en el mundo. Estos últimos meses han sido algunos de los más difíciles de todo mi sacerdocio, y como todos nosotros, el permanecer fieles a lo que somos es lo que nos ha traído hasta este día. La semana pasada en la convocación de los sacer- dotes en Galveston, uno de los oradores nos dijo que un cuerpo decapitado no puede vivir; del mismo modo, una cabeza decapitada no puede vivir. Si nos separamos de Cristo, que es la cabeza del Cuerpo, la Iglesia, entonces morirá. No pode- mos vivir separados de Cristo. Y Cristo necesita que Su Cuerpo, la Iglesia, sea vibrante y llena de vida para continuar la misión comenzada con Su pasión, muerte y resurrección. Los días que siguieron a la inundación, cuando perdimos nuestra casa parroquial, se escuchó el grito: "¡SOMOS LA IGLESIA!" Sí, nosotros somos la Iglesia y con la Iglesia vienen respon- sabilidades y compromisos ante Cristo, nuestra cabeza. Amigos, este edificio representa esto y mucho más. Somos Iglesia con este edificio o sin él. Pero, como todos hemos experimentado, es mucho más fácil ser Iglesia cuando tenemos un hogar para reunirnos y adorar a nuestro Dios y fortalecernos como el Cuerpo de Cristo en el mundo. Como han visto, hay algunos cambios en la iglesia. En el nártex ahora tenemos un Centro de Bienvenida. Queremos que este sea un lugar donde las personas tengan la oportunidad de hacer preguntas sobre la vida parroquial e incluso de registrarse como miembros de nuestra comunidad. El personal se ha comprometido a estar presente para darle inicio a este ministerio desarrollado de bienvenida. Además, en el nártex, el Ministerio de Hospitalidad ha encontrado un nuevo hogar. En el pasado han quedado relegados en los escondites de las esquinas para dar cabida a los armarios para boletines, cestas y otros artículos necesarios para el ministerio. En la nave, hay varios cambios. Primero y central es el nuevo altar. Una vez más, agradezco a los donantes que hicieron posible los cuatro ángeles. Los ángeles están en posición de adora- ción de lo que sucede en el altar con cada ángel sosteniendo un objeto que se necesita para adorar a nuestro Señor, Dios. El ambón recién diseñado se encuentra a la izquierda mirando hacia el altar. Este ambón es completamente accesible para personas con dificultades de movilidad. La parte "atril" del ambón sube y baja para acomodar a adultos, niños y personas que usan sillas de ruedas. Realmente es un símbolo de nuestro lema de ser personas para los demás. De hecho, en la posi- ción más baja, la mesa de lectura se desliza hacia el regazo de una persona entada en una silla. Él ella puede leer desde el ambón como lo hacen las personas sin discapacidades. Cambiamos de lado para que aquellos que usan una silla de ruedas puedan rodar hasta el ambón sin tener que cruzar todo el santuario. Entonces, con los ángeles en el altar y el cambio de la sede presidencial y la del diácono con el ambón, bueno, todo parece diferente. También pueden notar que tomamos los dos confesionarios (también conocidos como las Capillas de la Reconciliación) y dividimos el mismo espacio en tres confesionarios. Todavía hay un amplio espacio en cada uno de los confesionarios. La verdad es que es bueno estar en casa. Y, si no lo han hecho, asegúrense de visitar “La Capilla de Nuestra Señora” y no olvide de mirar hacia arriba. Mi más sincero agradecimiento a todos por hacer posible la Dedicación de la Iglesia y el Altar. Fue mucho trabajo para llegar a este punto y reconozco fácilmente mi incapacidad para hacerlo solo. Que Dios los bendiga a todos y cada uno de ustedes. La recepción que tuvimos en la tienda fue una forma perfecta de decir "adiós" a esta estructura que nos mantuvo alojados durante estos meses. Hay días en que me siento abrumado por la bondad y la grandeza de Dios que tengo que sentarme en su presencia y dejar que mi corazón se desborde de emoción.

Esta tarde, 3 de junio, damos la bienvenida al Padre Jeff Hebert quien se unirá a nosotros para una Misa de Acción de Gracias por el don del sacerdocio. El Padre Jeff fue ordenado en la Diócesis de Little Rock, Arkansas el pasado sábado, 27 de mayo. Qué gran oportunidad el ser parte de la ordena- ción de cuatro jóvenes maravillosos. La Diócesis de Little Rock ordenó además otros cuatro el sábado 2 de junio por la mañana. A la vez con la misa de Acción de Gracias del Padre Jeff, aquellos jóvenes que estén presentes y estén graduándose celebraran su bachillerato durante la misa de Life Teen. Es maravilloso celebrar los nuevos comienzos. Pero, para un nuevo comienzo, también necesitamos un final. Tenemos que dejar lo viejo para empezar de nuevo. Parece ser un tema en la vida de nuestra parroquia en estos días. Feliz graduación y muchas bendiciones para todos en sus nuevos comienzos.

Con mis oraciones por la renovación de nuestra parroquia,
