Welcome Director of Liturgy Paul A. Juarez
Dear Parishioners,
We are pleased to welcome our new Director of Liturgy Paul A. Juarez to the parish family! Paul was born in Austin but primarily raised in Odessa, Texas. His parents and sister still reside in the West Texas area. Mr. Juarez earned his Bachelor's degree at the University of Texas of the Permian Basin. He is currently finishing his Master's Degree in Theology at Oblate School of Theology in San Antonio. His past ministry experience includes two years of service with National Evangelization Teams (NET) Ministries, five years of seminary with the Archdiocese of San Antonio, and most recently five years of being the liturgy director at St. John Neumann Catholic Church.
The Director of Liturgy collaborates with clergy, staff, ministry leaders, volunteers and musicians to plan and execute parish liturgies. Paul will be overseeing Mass volunteers, funerals, weddings, adoration, preparation of the worship space, liturgical preparation for the sacraments, and other duties to help the community in their liturgical prayer and worship. Mr. Juarez is passionate about the Mass and our Lord. He looks forward to getting to know and serve the community. He may be reached at pjuarez@st-ignatius.org or 512-442-3602, ext. 1009.
Blessings,
Fr. John Dougherty
