God be with Fr. Jonathan Raia!
UCC alumnus Father Jonathan Raia was ordained a
priest for the Diocese of Austin on Saturday, June 6th
at St. Margaret Mary Church in Cedar Park, Tx.
Father Raia was very active at the UCC through
Longhorn Awakening, STRONG, and Lambda
Omega Alpha, serving as President during the 2001-
2002 academic year. Father Raia graduated in May
2002 with a B.A. in Spanish and Plan II Honors. He
left Austin following graduation to begin his seminary
studies. He spent two years at Holy Trinity Seminary
in Dallas for pre-theology and four years at St. Mary’s
Seminary in Houston earning a Master’s of Divinity.
While a seminarian, Father Raia served his pastoral
year at St. Helen’s in Georgetown and most recently,
as a deacon, has assisted at St. Mary’s in College
Station while completing his academic studies.
Fr. Jonathan Raia is assigned as an associate
pastor of St. William’s Parish in Round Rock, TX.
New Parking for 8:00 pm!
St. Austin’s is now allowing us to use their new garage at
San Antonio and MLK for 8:00 p.m. Mass only! For all
other Masses, the only lot for the University Catholic Center
is the lot to our west between our building and Dobie Mall.
WHERE ARE THE READINGS!?
Listing a month’s worth of readings would take the entire
bulletin!
Don’t worry—the United States Catholic Bishops’ website
lists the readings for every day. Visit them online at

Weekly Reflection Question:
For June 7 (Mt 28:16-20):
Jesus dispatched the disciples to evangelize and
baptize. In what ways could you evangelize one
person this week?
For June 14 (Mk 14:12-16,22-26):
Jesus shared special prayers and a special meal with his
disciples. Does your family pray together before and after every
meal?
For June 21 (Mk 4:35-41):
Even the wind and sea obeyed Jesus. How do you practice
obedience within your family?
For June 28 (Mk 5:21-43):
Christ made himself poor so that we may become rich. We’re to
be Christ to others—how do we humble ourselves to raise up our
brothers and sisters?
Micah 6 Food Pantry
UCC participates in the ecumenical Micah 6 food
pantry through donation and volunteering on
Thursdays and Saturdays. Don’t forget our
“neighbors” who have nothing during the summer. Please bring
canned goods and packaged dry goods to Sunday Mass for the
baskets near the fountain. We ask that you continue to support
the Micah 6 Food Pantry with your generous donations. Contact
Jim Harrington at jch@mail.utexas.edu for more information.
