Fr. Isaac Hecker Quote

It was necessary for God the Father to give a
name to Him who is the Son of God. It was
necessary that the Father give the name of His
own Son, for God alone understood the
consubstantial eternal Word, the boundless
perfection of His divine nature and the
unsearchable mystery of the Incarnation
and His office as Redeemer of the World. Fr. Isaac Hecker, Founder
Therefore was this glorious name conceived
of the Paulist Fathers
in the infinite intelligence of the Almighty.
Therefore was it declared by the ministry of an angel that He
should be called Jesus because He will save His people from their
sins. Therefore it becomes to us to honor and revere this name
that comes from a source which none can be higher or more
exalted. [Sermon on the Most Holy Name of Jesus]

Stations of the cross and Soup suppers

Please join us for Stations of the Cross and our

annual Soup Suppers every Friday this Lent!
Stations begin at 6:00 pm at St. Austin
Church. Soup Suppers follow at 6:30 pm in
St. Austins Hecker Hall. This is a great way to
spend time in prayer with God and spend time in
fellowship with other parishioners.

Communal penance services March 10 & 23

Join St. Austin Parish and the UCC

in preparing for the coming of
Easter at our Lenten communal
Penance Services. Opportunities for
individual confession will follow the
services.

Tuesday, March 10, 7:00 pm at the UCC

Monday, March 23, 7:00 pm at St. Austin Parish
Outdoor stations of the cross March 6, 3 pm
Join the University Catholic Center for outdoor Stations of the
Cross on the UT campus, beginning at 3:00 pm, Friday, March 6.
Meet at the Littlefield Fountain at 21st and University (across the
street from the UCC front entrance). We will pray around campus
and take turns carrying a cross.

If you have asked Fr. Hecker to pray for you or for another
person who was ill, and you believe something miraculous has
happened, please call Fr. Paul Robichaud, CSP, at
(202) 269-2519 and tell him your story.
