Call to Mission
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
So they went off and preached repentance (Mk 6:12). In the midst of living in a
relatively quiet East Texas community, sometimes we can become very comfortable with a routine. Weeks, months, years go by; we go to Sunday Mass, and nothing really changes. We may
feel we are praying enough or we may be cognizant of our need to pray more. We may be happy
with our parish experience or we may be hungry to do more. We may think we are doing enough
to help Christ in the poor or we may realize that there is so much more we could do. Wherever we
fall in these categories, all of us are tempted at times to fall into a routine or simply be “set in our
ways.” However, our gospel reminds us today that we as Catholic Christians are on a mission, and
a mission always requires conversion of heart no matter what our age, no matter what our gender,
no matter what our excuse. Christ, in order to fulfill His mission in the world, is always asking us to
be willing to adapt to certain circumstances and to be flexible. When we close ourselves to
change, when our hearts become closed to conversion, then we become an obstacle to Christ and
His Church.
As pastor, my duty is to cultivate a sense of mission in our parish, which can only come
about through personal conversion to Jesus Christ. This comes about not only through thematic
preaching and the reverent celebration of the Eucharist, but also through prudent administration,
planning, scheduling, availability for counsel, and problem-solving. I am very thankful for your receptivity to consolidating the 4:30 p.m. Mass on Sundays into the other Masses on our weekend
schedule. However, beginning in August, there will be a slightly revised daily Mass schedule. I will
be adding more times of Eucharistic Adoration and Sacramental Confession. This new weekly
schedule will accommodate Faith Formation so that when the school year begins, I will offer Adult
Faith Formation in English and Spanish (to coincide when our young are in faith formation and sacramental prep). The new schedule will also allow me to be integrally involved in our parish youth
group.
Some have asked me about the plans for the new church, on which much time and energy
was spent before I arrived. These plans have been put on hold for my first year as pastor. This
first year I will be particularly focused on the spiritual renewal of our parish. This means assisting
all our members to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ in the Catholic Tradition: through
Adoration, devotions, spiritual reading of Scripture, and meditation. As regards my financial priorities, I would like us to concentrate on paying for the beautiful land the church was fortunate enough
to acquire. With time and prayer, our Lord will reveal to us how best to utilize that strategic plot.
Yours in Christ,
Fr. Lowry
Father Nolan T. Lowry

Llamados a la misión
Queridos Hermanos y hermanas en Cristo,
Así que se fueron y predicaron el arrepentimiento (Mc 06:12). En medio de vivir en
un relativamente tranquila comunidad del Este de Texas, podemos llegar a ser muy cómodos con una rutina. Semanas, meses, años pasan; vamos a la misa dominical, y nada cambia realmente. Podemos sentir
que estamos orando lo suficiente o podemos ser conscientes de nuestra necesidad de orar más. Podemos
estar contentos con nuestra experiencia parroquial o podemos tener hambre de hacer más. Podemos pensar que estamos haciendo lo suficiente para ayudar a Cristo en los pobres o podemos darnos cuenta de
que hay mucho más que pudiéramos hacer. Dondequiera que caemos en estas categorías, todos estamos
tentados a veces caer en una rutina o te acostumbras hacerlo. Sin embargo, nuestro evangelio de hoy nos
recuerda que nosotros, como cristianos católicos estamos en una misión, y una misión siempre requiere la
conversión del corazón, no importa la edad que tengamos, no importa nuestro género, sin importar nuestra
excusa. Cristo, con el fin de cumplir su misión en el mundo, siempre nos pide estar dispuesto a adaptarse a
ciertas circunstancias y ser flexible. Cuando nos cerramos a cambiar, cuando nuestros corazones se cierran a la conversión, entonces nos convertimos en un obstáculo a Cristo y a su Iglesia.
Como pastor, mi deber es cultivar un sentido de misión en nuestra parroquia, que sólo puede tener
lugar a través de la conversión personal a Jesucristo. Esto se produce no sólo a través de la predicación
temática y la celebración reverente de la Eucaristía, pero también a través de la administración prudente, la
planificación, la programación, la disponibilidad para aconsejar y solucionar los problemas. Estoy muy agradecido por su receptividad de la consolidación de la misa de 4:30pm a las otras Misas en nuestro horario
de fin de semana. Sin embargo, a partir de agosto, habrá otro cambio en el horario de misa diaria. Iré añadiendo más veces la Adoración a la Eucarística y Confesión Sacramental. Este nuevo horario semanal
coincidirá con las clases de Formación de Fe para que cuando comience el año escolar, yo pueda ofrecer
catequesis para adultos en inglés y español (mientras sus hijos asisten a las clases de formación de fe y
preparación sacramental). El nuevo horario también me permite ser integralmente involucrado en nuestro
grupo de jóvenes de la parroquia.
Algunos me han preguntado acerca de los planes para la nueva iglesia, en la cual se dedicó mucho
tiempo y energía antes de llegar. Estos planes han quedado en suspenso para mi primer año como pastor.
Este primer año me enfocare particularmente en la renovación espiritual de nuestra parroquia. Esto significa ayudar a todos nuestros miembros a tener una relación personal con Jesucristo en la tradición católica:
a través de la Adoración, devociones, la lectura espiritual de la Escritura, y la meditación. En cuanto a mis
prioridades financieras, me gustaría que nos concentremos en pagar el hermosa lote de la iglesia que afortunadamente pudieron adquirir. Con el tiempo y la oración, nuestro Señor nos revelará la mejor manera de
utilizar esa parcela estratégica.
Suyo en Cristo,
Padre Lowry
