President’s Message:

Liz Rios-Carl-

Summertime is in full swing and vacations are still being enjoyed by many. If you have not made plans, Bishop Seitz will be installed as Bishop of El Paso during mass at 7:00pm July 9, 2013 at the El Paso Civic Center. The public is invited to attend; looking forward to meeting our new Bishop. Tracy Yellen and Andy Portillo have extended an invitation to Bishop Seitz to be our speaker for our August Luncheon.

 

The program Vice President is working diligently towards the fall months with some fine programs and speakers. Please let me know your ideas for topics and speakers that will enhance our meetings. Many thanks to JD and Chita Douglas for our June program with Father Payan. Everyone enjoyed his talk.

 

Please plan to arrive at our regular meeting at 11:00am as we will hold our Holy half hour before our meeting. Until next month, God bless you.

 

Liz Carl

 

Pray therefore the Lord of the Harvest…

Every vocation is a gift from God which must be implored by prayer and merited by the witness of a holy life.

President Liz  Rio-Carl  greeting Monsignor Isidro Payan at our June 21st  meeting.

Even in our personal lives, the Holy Spirit urges us to undertake a more Evangelical way of life, and we resist him. Do not resist the Holy Spirit!! It is the Spirit who makes us free with the same freedom Jesus himself lived; the freedom that makes us children of God! Do not resist the Holy Spirit!  More of  Pope Francis speech here:
