In Loving Memory of
†Ricarda Cervantez
From Janie Hernandez and Family
Loving God, as a mother
gives life and nourishment
to her children, so you
watch over your Church.
Bless these women, that
they may be strengthened
as Christian mothers. Let
the example of their faith
and love shine forth. Grant
that we, their sons and
daughters, may honor them
always with a spirit of pro-
found respect.
Dios deamor, como una
madre da vida y alimento
a sus hijos, asi vigilas Tu
a tu Iglesia. Bendice a
estas mujeres, para que se
fortalezcan como madres
cristianas. Permite que el
empleo de su fe y amor
brille para todos.Concede
que nosotros, sus hijos e
hijas, las honremos siem-
pre con un espiritu de
profundo respect.
GOSPEL MEDITATION
In today’s Gospel Jesus reminds us to love one another.
What does it mean to love one another? Prayerfully review
the Ten Commandments, notice that the first three are about
loving God and the last seven are about loving our neighbor.
En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús nos recuerda que nos amemos
unos a otros ¿Qué significa amarnos unos a otros? En
oración revise los Diez Mandamientos, note que los primer-
os tres son sobre amar a Dios y los últimos siete son sobre
amar al prójimo.

MOTHER’S DAY! “The most important person on earth is a mother. She cannot claim
the honor of having built Notre Dame Cathedral. She need not.
She has built something more magnificent than any cathedral - a
dwelling for an immortal soul. The tiny perfection of her baby’s
body. The angels have not been blessed with such a grace. They
cannot share in God’s creative miracle to bring new saints to
heaven. Only a human mother can. Mothers are closer to God the
Creator than any other creature. God joins forces with mothers
in performing this act of creation...What on God’s good earth is
more glorious than this: To Be a Mother?” Joseph Cardinal
Mindszenty

2014-2015 SCHOLARSHIPS The Knights of Columbus Scholarship committee again had a tough choice
this year in selecting recipients/amounts from a total of five Ascension
parishioner applicants. The class rank of all applicants ranged from 4 of
238 to 33 of 245 and with near perfect grade point averages, quite impres-
sive! The applicants are required to complete an application which in-
cludes a 2 page essay on career, professional and educational goals, at least
one letter of recommendation from administrator, staff or teacher, one
letter from Ascension parish - Priest, Deacon, RE Director, resume, grades
etc. A total of $3000 were awarded this year for the K of C Scholar-
ships and an additional $500 from the KOCA Scholarship.
This year, with the 5 great applicants, the K of C was fortunate to have a
very successful fundraiser to increase the amount of the scholarship fund
and also KOCA decided to award one $500 scholarship so we worked with
them to piggy back on our process to also select one of the five candi-
dates. All KOCA members and Brother Knights should feel great about
their efforts to raise money for the scholarships through our K of C Re-
verse Raffle event and other fundraisers.
We also thank Father Ramiro, Ascension staff and all members of the par-
ish who supported our "Saturday Knight Live" Reverse Raffle Dinner in
March as your support greatly enables us to award these scholarships to the
youth of our parish! Congratulations to the recipients and may God with
them as they pursue the career goals!
Listed below are the K of C Scholarship recipients for 2015 along with the
KOCA recipient.
Americo Barron - $1000 - Bastrop HS
Lexi Raemsch - $1000 - Cedar Creek HS
Clara Duggan - $500 - Cedar Creek HS
Roberto Aleman $500 - Cedar Creek HS
