From Fr. Kris

Dear brothers and sisters, I would like to greet you all very much and introduce myself.

My name is Fr. Krzysztof Pawlowski and I am from Poland.

Since the first of July I am the new administrator of our community, St. Jerome.

I replaced Fr. Scott Janysek, whom I am very grateful for everything he has done for our community through-out this time of his ministry here.

I would also like to thank you for accepting me into your family of families under the patronage of Saint Je-rome. God has a plan for each of us.

I would like to share a little about myself. After my or-dination, I worked in Poland for the first 5 years, then 8 years in Peru, and 4 years ago I came to San Antonio where I worked in the parish of St. Francis of Assisi. Today I am here with you and for that I am grateful to God.

I enjoy nature and the outdoors especially bicycling and hiking. I play piano and guitar (a little better at guitar than at the piano). Also, I enjoy European soccer.

I would like to hug you and shake the hand of each of you, but unfortunately this is not yet possible because the epidemic that continues around us.

However, I have a deep hope that with God's help we will soon meet everyone together close to the altar of Jesus Christ during the Mass. I pray for this every day and I entrust to you all in God's providence. Fr. Kris Pawlowski

De parte del Padre Kris

Queridos hermanos y hermanas,

Me gustaría saludaros a todos y presentarme.

Mi nombre es Padre Krzysztof Pawlowski y soy de Polonia.

Desde el primero de julio soy el nuevo administrador de nuestra comunidad, St. Jerome.

Sustituí al P. Scott Janysek, a quien estoy muy agradecido por todo lo que ha hecho por nuestra comunidad durante este tiempo de su ministerio aquí.

También me gustaría darles las gracias por acogerme a su familia de familias bajo el patrocinio de san Jerónimo.

Dios tiene un plan para cada uno de nosotros.

Me gustaría compartir un poco sobre mí mismo. Después de mi ordenación, trabajé en Polonia durante los primeros 5 años, luego 8 años en Perú, y hace 4 años llegué a San Antonio, donde trabajé en la parroquia de S. Francisco de Asís. Hoy estoy aquí con ustedes y por eso estoy agradecido a Dios.

Me gusta la naturaleza y el aire libre, especialmente andar en bicicleta y el senderismo. Toco el piano y la guitarra (un poco mejor la guitarra que al piano). Además, me gusta el fútbol soccer.

Me gustaría abrazarlos y saludarlos de mano a cada uno de ustedes, pero desafortunadamente esto todavía no es posible por la epidemia que continúa a nuestro alrededor.

Sin embargo, tengo una profunda esperanza de que, con la ayuda de Dios, pronto nos encontraremos todos juntos cerca del altar de Jesucristo durante la misa.

Rezo por esto todos los días y los encomiendo todos a la providencia de Dios.

Padre Kris

Upcoming Second Collections

July 12, 2020 15th Sunday In Ordinary Time

Our parish rectory recently un-derwent some renovations: We

have replaced the carpeting up-stairs and invested in new vinyl

plank flooring that should last for a very long time as well as replacing the mini

blinds throughout the house. The hot water heater was also replaced and new doors to the back yard will also be replaced.

We thank the Men's Club for their help and sup-

port in this project.

Since the bedroom furniture belonged to Fr. Scott, Burnell and Laura Gates generously donated a new set to be kept by the parish as well as new

countertops for the kitchen.

We would also like to thank the following ladies from the Altar Society for helping get the rectory

ready for Fr. Kris's arrival: Shirley Grahmann, Carol Hardy, Elaine Moczygemba, Bernice Pruski and Marilyn Pruski.

For all who have contracted coronavirus, we pray for care and healing. For those who are particularly

vulnerable, we pray for safety and protection. For all who experience fear or anxiety, we pray for peace of mind and spirit. For affected families who are facing difficult decisions between food on the table or public

safety, we pray for policies that recognize their plight. For those who do not have adequate health

insurance, we pray that no family will face financial burdens alone. For those who are afraid to access

care due to immigration status, we pray for recognition of the God-given dignity of all.

For our brothers and sisters around the world, we pray for shared solidarity. For public officials and decisionmakers, we pray for wisdom and guidance.

Father, during this time may your Church be a sign of hope, comfort and love to all. Grant peace. Grant comfort. Grant healing. Be with us, Lord. Amen.

Mass Intentions Safety at Mass

We are working hard to provide a safe environment in order to worship together at all Masses. We have plenty of room for social distancing at every Mass and have the following measures in place: -All attendees must wear a face mask that covers the nose and mouth except those persons too young to wear a mask and/or anyone unable to remove the mask without assistance. -All attendees must sanitize their hands as they enter the church -There is only one entrance and after Mass parishioners are dismissed to allow for social distancing. -Fr. Kris puts on his mask and sanitizes his hands immediately before distributing communion. -Communion is only given in the hand. -Ushers sanitize the pews thoroughly after each Mass.

ATTENDANCE NUMBERS PER MASSES LAST WEEK

5PM—93; 8AM–49; 9:30AM—53; 11:00AM—59

A Note of Thanks

Fr. Maury Smith celebrated the 8 AM Mass on June 28, 2020. He wanted to share his gratitude

with our parish during this time:

“From the time I arrived to the time I left your plan for safety is excellent in every way. I especially liked the way you did communion. We used to do it that way at Saint Margaret Mary for anointing of the sick and Mass. I felt comfortable and safe at the Mass.

Prayed for each of you during the mass. Thank you for letting me serve you. PEACE & LOVE, Fr. Maury”

THANK YOU USHERS FOR YOUR HELP!
