Located in the heart of Austin near the University of Texas campus, St. Austin is a thriving and diverse Catholic community served by the Paulist Fathers since its founding in 1908.
The Council thanks Fr. Paolo for his five years of service to St. Austin’s and the Paulist Fathers. Looking back over those years, we recall his arrival in 2020 during the pandemic. While not exactly riding on a white horse, his conveyance did have a lot of horsepower – a pickup truck! The parish celebrated his arrival with a special car parade! After he dismounted, several Knights presented him with a welcome gift. We wish Fr. Paolo much success and fulfillment in his new assignment in Houston!
