And she is still going strong. “I stay because of the Catholic social teachings,” she said. “I am so in love with … watching them being lived out and being a part of a community that has the same values and goals of pushing our community forward to be better for the person sitting in front of us.” Read the #catholicspirit story at https://lnkd.in/gbdutwQN

When Father Steve Sauser began his term as pastor of St. John the Baptist Parish in Fayetteville and St. Mary Parish in Ellinger, he realized both needed to establish new ways to sustain their communities for the long term... From his experiences at other parishes, Father Sauser knew of a solution — to create endowments within the Catholic Foundation - Diocese of Austin. The opportunity to establish an endowment — and take advantage of the diocese’s larger investment pool and professional fund management — is available to all parishes, schools, agencies and organizations in the diocese. An initial gift of at least $10,000 is required, and distributions can begin once an endowment’s value reaches $25,000. Read the #catholicspirit story at https://lnkd.in/eaGyRzmX

As the city of Austin continues to grow, St. Austin remains poised to serve all people in bearing witness to the Gospel.” - Bishop Joe S. Vásquez
St. Austin Catholic Church & School undertook a multi-million-dollar project to build a new school and parish facilities eight years ago. This Friday, they host its grand opening! "To finance the $44 million cost for the new [St. Austin Catholic School] and ministry building, St. Austin leased a remaining acre adjacent to the school and parish to a third-party developer who built a 29-story structure with 423 apartments to house UT students. St. Austin financed the construction of its new facilities with cash from one upfront ground lease payment, a $30 million tax-exempt bank loan, and $9 million of taxable bonds purchased by the Diocese of Austin. The project will provide the parish and diocese a revenue stream for nearly 100 years." Read the complete #catholicspirit story at https://lnkd.in/gusUyNHv
