Where were you when the "perfect storm" hit? Well
if you were on St. Paul youth co-ed softball team, you were at the Diocese
of Austin
Co-Ed Softball Tournament last Summer. In 2007 St. Paul's youth went undefeated and brought home the first place trophy. Listed below is our record for the tournaments since 2001.
This year we will be defending our 1st place win at the Diocese of Austin Co-Ed Youth Softball Tournament. If you will be entering high school in the fall of 2008 or graduating in May 2008 and would like to get involved contact coach Ricky Duran at youth group or Religious Education. Practices will start in May. Everyone is welcome.
Team Motto: Many Parts, One Body
As a body is one though it has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though many, are one body, so also Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free persons, and we were all given to drink of one Spirit. Now the body is not a single part, but many. If a foot should say, "Because I am not a hand I do not belong to the body," it does not for this reason belong any less to the body. Or if an ear should say, "Because I am not an eye I do not belong to the body," it does not for this reason belong any less to the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole body were hearing, where would the sense of smell be? But as it is, God placed the parts, each one of them, in the body as he intended. If they were all one part, where would the body be? But as it is, there are many parts, yet one body. The eye cannot say to the hand, "I do not need you," nor again the head to the feet, "I do not need you." Indeed, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are all the more necessary, and those parts of the body that we consider less honorable we surround with greater honor, and our less presentable parts are treated with greater propriety, whereas our more presentable parts do not need this. But God has so constructed the body as to give greater honor to a part that is without it, so that there may be no division in the body, but that the parts may have the same concern for one another. If (one) part suffers, all the parts suffer with it; if one part is honored, all the parts share its joy.
