Listen to him. It is wonderful to begin this week acknowledging
that we need God's help in listening and hearing. It is so powerful
to ask for the "gift of integrity" - to express our desire for
wholeness. And, we humbly ask for light in the midst of whatever
might "shadow our vision." This is the God who allows Jesus to be
transfigured before his disciples, to prepare them for what they
were about to face. This is our God, who can give each of us the
change of heart we ask for.
No flowers are allowed during Lent in the church or chapel.
Daylight Savings begins next week. Remember to move your
clock/watch forward an hour.

Volume XVIII No. 1777 Second Sunday Of Lent March 1, 2015
Adult Ministry and Faith formation: Because Our Faith is too
rich and beautiful to have ever learned it All…Contact Heidi Clark,
Director of Adult Ministry, 281.333.3891, Ext. 328 or
[email protected]
Adult faith formation at St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church is
centered around the understanding that living “The Way” taught by
Jesus Christ is a life-long, evolving journey, involving both
effort and decision. To enable adults to explore the faith and
deepen their knowledge of God’s Word, we provide many opportunities
to come together in a learning environment. As a diverse community
with a small parish feel, we know it is important to walk that
journey with others and to share what we have learned along the
way.
Can You Defend Your Faith? Spouses, friends, coworkers, adult
children, rebellious teens, in-laws, sometimes even strangers put
us in a position of needing to defend what we believe. It is not
unusual to find it hard to put into words what is so personal and
yet so profound. If you find yourself struggling to articulate your
faith, we are once again offering a program called Symbolon that
promises to help you grow in your faith and know it more deeply
than ever before. Symbolon takes participants on a journey into the
timeless beauty and truths of the Catholic faith—all while
revealing God’s incredible love for us as expressed in the story of
salvation. The series is being offered on Thursday afternoons at 2
PM in Room 1. The only cost involved is $20 for the workbook.
Women’s ACTS Retreat Registrations are being accepted for the
next women’s ACTS retreat set to take place the weekend of April
9–12. Contact Amy Morris for information:
[email protected].
Couples, Do You Need a Weekend Away?
“This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand.
Repent, and believe in the Gospel.” Allow God to work and move in
your marriage relationship. The next Worldwide Marriage Encounter
weekends are April 17-19 and June 19-21. These are wonderful
weekends away from it all where you get to focus on each other and
the love you share. Register early to reserve a spot. Contact Brian
and Tina Little at 281.773.4014 or go online to houstonme.org.
Gabriel Project Needs Volunteers/Donations
Our Gabriel Project ministry exists to support any mother who is
experiencing a crisis in her pregnancy. Contact B Rodriguez at
[email protected] for more information. Currently, our program is in
great need of infant clothing for boys and girls in addition to
disposable diapers for newborns and babies up to 20 lbs. Drop items
off at the Welcome Center.
Join the Ladies Lunch Bunch Ladies of the parish are invited to
join the St. Paul's Over 50 Lunch Bunch on Wednesday, March 11, at
Angelo's Pizza and Pasta, 400 West Bay Area Blvd, Webster 77598, at
12:30 PM. If you do not receive a phone call, you may make a
reservation by calling 281.474.3373. This group meets on the second
Wednesday of every month. We look forward to having some new faces
join us for friendly conversation and delicious food.
Catholic Prayer is Next Adult Catechism Topic: March 10
The Catechism reminds us that Jesus asks us to believe in order
to pray and to pray in order to believe. There is a complementarity
in which knowing and loving God support each other. But how? Find
out by attending our next adult catechism program set for Tuesday,
March 10, at 7:30 PM in Room 10. Discussions are facilitated by
author, teacher and theologian, Julie Dienno-Demarest. Adult
catechism sessions stand independently of one another; attend as
often as you like. They are open to anyone interested in learning
more about our faith. If you can’t attend this session, mark your
calendar for the next one set for Tuesday, March 24: The Depth and
Beauty of the Our Father.
Do you want to be Catholic? The process of becoming a Catholic
is called the RCIA, the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. The
RCIA is a process of coming to know Jesus Christ on a personal
level and growing in readiness and commitment to be part of the
Catholic Christian community. Find out more by contacting Heidi
Clark at [email protected].
Creighton NFP Intro Sessions Upcoming sessions are scheduled for
the following Saturday mornings: March 21, April 11, May 2, and
June 13. They take place from 10 AM to noon in Room 1. The intro
sessions cost $25 with an optional $35 materials fee. Contact
Laurel DeMary if you are interested in attending a session by
emailing her at [email protected].

Society of St. Vincent de Paul 281.333.2509
Office Hours: Tuesday – Wednesday, 9:30 - 11:30 AM Thursday:
6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Lent is a call not just to “give up something” but more
important to “give something for the poor.” Wherever you live in
the parish, there are poor families within walking distance of your
home. When in need, they ring the rectory bell. They are, in
effect, ringing your doorbell. Your almsgiving in the St. Vincent
de Paul poor box will help the poor to celebrate the grace of God’s
love this Easter.
Through your gifts, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul was able
to provide the following assistance in the month of January:
Number of Households Assisted: 98 Food $2,665 = 80 Families, 211
people (92 children)
Rent: $5,800 = 27 Families Utilities: $3,801 = 35 Families Home
Visits: 13
Vincentians also logged 239 hours of service and 1030 miles
during the month of December.
Volunteer Opportunity: Food Pantry Manager Needed: This position
involves placing online orders with the Houston Food Bank (1-2
times per month), shelving the food donated by parishioners, and
coordinating food pickup and delivery to St. Paul. We even have a
list of families who have volunteered to drive to the HFB to pick
up our orders. On average, the pantry provided food for over 200
people (half of which are typically children). If you feel the call
to serve our Lord by serving your neighbor in this way, please
contact Nancy at [email protected].
The SVDP Society would like to recognize and thank Jim Casmus
for his service as Food Bank Manager over the past year, who helped
us get off to a great start!
Upcoming Conference Meetings: March 11, and March 25, at 7 PM in
St. Paul’s Conference Room.

En Cuaresma el llamado es no solo de “dar algo” sino más
importante aún es de “dar algo para el necesitado”. No importa
donde vivas siempre hay familias con necesidades cerca de tú casa.
Personas con necesidades tocan el timbre de la rectoría en la
iglesia. En efecto, Personas con necesidades tocan la puerta de Tú
casa. Tus donaciones económicas en St. Vicente de Paul ayudaran al
pobre a celebrar la gracia de Dios el Domingo de Resurrección.
Gracias a tus donaciones, La sociedad de St. Vicente de Paul
pudo proveer asistencia en Enero: Hogares que recibieron ayuda: 98

Bicentenarios donaron 239 horas de servicio y 1030 millas en el

Esta posición requiere hacer órdenes en línea al Banco de comida de
Houston (HFB) 1-2 veces por mes; así como coordinar recoger y
entregar lo ordenado y su almacenamiento, además de almacenar la
comida donada por los feligreses. (Hay una lista de familia
voluntarias de recoger la comida del HFB). Nuestra despensa provee
comida a más de 200 personas (de la cual más de la mitad son
niños). Si tiene el llamado de servir a nuestro Señor de esta
manera, por favor contactar a Nancy en

agradece a Jim Casmus por su servicio como Coordinador de la
despensa de comida durante el año pasado. ¡Jim nos ayudó a tener un
gran inicio!
