18TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Pastoral Council
The pastoral council is sometimes referred to as the
parish council. In fact pastoral council is a more correct
term because it is the advisory council for the pastor
regarding the ministry and spiritual needs of the parish. The
council is consultative to the pastor.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) states, “A
parish is a definite community of the Christian faithful
established on a stable basis within a particular church; the
pastoral care of the parish is entrusted to a pastor as its own
shepherd under the authority of the diocesan bishop. It is
the place where all the faithful can be gathered together for
the Sunday celebration of the Eucharist. The parish initiates
the Christian people into the ordinary expression of the
liturgical life; it gathers them together in this celebration; it
teaches Christ’s saving doctrine; it practices the charity of
the Lord in good works and brotherly love…” (CCC #
2179).
The Code of Canon Law states in regards to parish
pastoral councils, “...the pastor presides over it, and
through it the Christian faithful along with those who share
in the pastoral care of the parish in virtue of their office
give their help in fostering pastoral activity. This pastoral
council possesses a consultative vote only and is governed
by the norms determined by the diocesan bishop” (# 536).
The Pastoral Manual of the Archdiocese of GalvestonHouston adds, “The pastoral council relates to the pastoral
life and growth issues of the parish community. The
council is to be representative of the full parish
community” (A-2).
There are several ways to create a pastoral council. The
manner that I have chosen is called discernment. This will
be a four step process including prayer, education,
discernment (or thought) and commitment. We will begin
with prayer. I invite everyone of you to begin praying
NOW for this future pastoral council. Pray also for those
whom God is calling through the Holy Spirit. As the
archdiocesan pastoral manual states, I would like for the
pastoral council to be completely representative of our
entire parish; young and old and everyone in between as
well as representatives from the various ethnicities that are
represented in our parish. Let us be in prayer that those
whom the Holy Spirit is calling forth may hear and
understand this call and then present themselves for
discernment. ANYONE can come to the various
orientation, education and discernment gatherings that we
will offer. From these gatherings we will all grow in
knowledge and understanding of one another and more
aware of the Holy Spirit’s call. There will also be a
meeting to specifically and prayerfully discern those
who will serve on the pastoral council. Finally we will
commission the new members and begin our work
together. I would like to invite you to an information
orientation Tuesday, August 25 at 7 p.m.
Christ the Good Shepherd come to our aid.

18° DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO
Consejo Pastoral
El Consejo pastoral se refiere a veces como el Consejo
Parroquial. De hecho el Consejo pastoral es un término más
correcto porque es que el asesor del consejo para el pastor sobre
el Ministerio y las necesidades espirituales de la parroquia. El
consejo es de consulta para el pastor.
El Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica (CIC) señala que "La
parroquia es una determinada comunidad de fieles que se
constituye en una base estable en el ámbito de una iglesia
particular y el cuidado pastoral de la parroquia está
encomendada a un párroco como su pastor propio, bajo la
autoridad del obispo diocesano. Es el lugar donde todos los fieles
pueden reunirse para la celebración dominical de la Eucaristía.
La parroquia inicia al pueblo cristiano en la expresión ordinaria de
la vida litúrgica y se recoge en esta celebración; que enseña la
doctrina salvadora de Cristo, las prácticas de de caridad del
Señor en obras buenas y de amor fraterno…" (CIC # 2179).
El Código de Derecho Canónico afirma en lo que respecta a
los consejos pastorales parroquiales, "... el pastor preside, y a
través de éste y los fieles cristianos junto con aquellos que
comparten en la pastoral de la parroquia en virtud de su cargo,
dan su ayuda para fomentar la actividad pastoral. Este consejo
pastoral posee un sólo voto consultivo y se rige por las normas
determinadas por el obispo diocesano" (No 536). El Manual
Pastoral de la Archidiócesis de Galveston-Houston agrega, "El
consejo pastoral se refiere a la vida pastoral y problemas de
crecimiento de la comunidad parroquial. El consejo debe ser
representativo de toda la comunidad parroquial” (A-2).
Hay varias formas de crear un Consejo pastoral. La forma que
he elegido se llama discernimiento. Se trata de un proceso de
cuatro pasos incluyendo la oración, la educación, discernimiento
(o pensamiento) y el compromiso. Vamos a empezar con la
oración. Invito a todos ustedes para comenzar a orar ahora por
este futuro Consejo pastoral. Orar también por aquellos a quienes
Dios está llamando a través del Espíritu Santo. Como dice el
manual pastoral arquidiocesano, me gustaría que el consejo
pastoral sea totalmente representativo, de toda nuestra
parroquia; desde los jóvenes y las personas de edad, así como
representantes de las diversas etnias que están representadas
en nuestra parroquia. Vamos a orar, para que aquellos a los que
el Espíritu Santo está convocando, puedan escuchar y
comprender este llamado y se presenten al discernimiento.
CUALQUIERA puede venir a las diversas reuniones de
orientación, educación y discernimiento que vamos a ofrecer. De
estas reuniones, todos creceremos en el conocimiento y la
comprensión del otro y más conscientes del Espíritu Santo.
También se celebrará una reunión de oración y
discernimiento específicamente aquellos que servirán en
el consejo pastoral. Y por último los nuevos miembros se
comisionarán y comenzaremos a trabajar juntos. Me gustaría
invitarle a una orientación de información el martes 25 de
agosto a las 7:00pm.
Cristo el buen pastor, ven en nuestra ayuda,
Padre James Burkart, Pastor

I am finding it difficult to find the words to express the highest level of gratitude to all
those who came out to support our youth both with your presence and incredibly
generous donations. It was overwhelming. We are incredibly proud of our young
people, not only for their high level of talent, but in their dedication to CGS. I have
personally never really liked referring to our youth as “the future of the
Church” (though they are), only because I think it sometimes blinds us to the fact that
they are such a fully active, vital part of the Church right now. Speaking for myself and
Carol, I want to thank the community of CGS for your love and support, and our youth
who generously pour out their love in service.
These kids, each and every one of them, are awesome.

A BIG thank you to all the families of our summer faith formation, June and
July sessions, for the food you donated to Social Ministry. This food is given out
to people that stop by our church office requesting food.
God Bless you for your generosity.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our bulletin sponsors and advertisers for
providing our weekly bulletin at no cost to our parish. We are grateful for your continued support.
As the parish continues to grow, the need for more advertisements is critical. As it is now time for
renewing and acquiring new advertisements, we ask that you prayerfully consider advertising in the
weekly church bulletin. You can advertise your business, promote your parish organization or place
a personal ad such as “Pray for Vocations,” “Pray the Rosary,” “In Memory of Loved One.”
Please contact Rey Barron at 512-577-9411 or [email protected].
Rey will be at CGS August 3rd-6th and 10th-13th.
