Pre K-8th Grade

Dear Friends in Christ,

There are some topics that will almost always get a response from people. Understanding,

confusion, irrita<on, agreement, insight and disagreement are among the most common. Then

there is the ques<on of <ming. To some, there is never a good <me. For others, no ma>er

the frequency, it is either too o?en or not o?en enough. Then there are people who simply

don’t care or see the importance. And what is that subject that causes such a response?

Church finances, of course.

A few remarks to give a baseline understanding. Our parish is greatly blessed in every way.

For this, we first give thanks and praise to God for His generosity to us. We are indeed greatly

blessed. We are also immensely grateful to every single one of our parishioners who

generously support our parish and enable all the great things to take place here through

their prayers, dedica�on and financial sacrifices. We all owe a debt of gra<tude to our staff

for their efforts in serving our parish community. Very li>le could be done without them. In a

par<cular way, we are most grateful to our Finance and Business Office staff (Belinda LeBouef,

Vivian Maestas, Kim Riley and Pete Prados) and our Parish Finance Council (John Schell, Randy

Rainey, Bob Hodgson, Phil Rider and Stuart Hendrix) for their hard work, wise counsel,

guidance and oversight. We will close out our books on June 30th

and will make our Financial

Report as part of our Annual Report to the Parish in the early Fall.

This was a rough year in many ways, not just financially. But God in His great love and mercy

has blessed us and enabled us to get through it. Our parish income is down. We are currently

at 2012-13 income levels. Unfortunately, expenses are not. Due to the ac<ons (staff

reduc<ons, budget cuts and use of savings) taken immediately in the a?ermath of the flood,

we were able to avoid a deficit. While we have had a par<al recovery in our collec<ons over

the months since the flood, income remains down. In the twelve-month period from May

2017 to April 2018, 38% of parishioners reduced their weekly giving and 34% have no record of

giving. 3% of parishioners kept their giving the same as the previous year and 25% increased

their weekly giving. ONLY 23% OF PARISHIONERS CONTRIBUTE AN AVERAGE OF $25 OR MORE

PER WEEK ($1300 per year).

If your home was flooded, you lost your job or suffered a financial set back, by all means it is

understandable that your financial support to the mission of the church cannot be what it was.

Please do not feel guilty. Thank you for your sacrifices and know of our prayers and support

for you. If you are on a fixed income or find yourself in a tough financial situa<on and are

doing the best you can, thank you for your generosity. If you were blessed and spared these

struggles, if your stock porNolio did well, if you got a raise, if you are blessed with a job, or if

you are financially in good shape, Thank God!

It is a good thing for all of us to annually examine our level of financial support to the parish.

Does our level of support reflect God’s blessings to us and our family? Does it reflect our

gra<tude to the Lord? Does our financial support reflect our commitment to the mission of the

Church? The Lord does not ask for equal gi?s, He does ask for sacrifice. When considering our

stewardship, we need to ask ourselves if our support is truly sacrificial. Is our giving an act of

faith and love? The scriptures teach that we should give purposefully, propor<onally and

deliberately and that our giving be joyful. Does your giving reflect these biblical teachings?

Money is not the most important aspect of our faith. But money is important. It is important

in how we use it. Like all of God’s gi?s to us, we are to use our gi?s to do good. Thank you to

all who so generously enable our parish to do good for so many to the glory of God!

Help us replace the children’s playground

The Parish playground for children, which for 30 years gave enjoyment to the

children of our parish and surrounding neighborhood. It was totally destroyed

and Insurance is not covering the loss.

The replacement cost is $120,000. Can you help defray these costs and help us to

provide a safe and fun place for our children to play? Gi?s of any size are

appreciated and needed.

For dona3on and informa3on, please contact the Parish Office at 281-497-1500.

Prudence, Safety and Security From <me to <me there will be individuals who a>empt to panhandle on our campus. We have an excellent

Social Services Ministry and our parish helps thousands of people in need. Panhandling is not allowed on

campus. We ask that you never give to these individuals on campus. Instead please direct them to our Social

Services. If you no<ce someone panhandling please inform a staff member or security. We want to help, but in

the proper way. As the saying goes, Give real change not spare change!

This is one of the <mes of year that safety and security become issues. In church and at all <mes, please be

prudent. Some<mes people see others at church as “easy marks”. Do not leave purses, phones wallets or other

valuables una>ended – even at mass. While we are sinners and in need of God’s mercy, we don’t want to tempt

others who may have not yet go>en to the repentance and conversion part!

Part of living our faith is charity. We must all remember to prac<ce charity at all <mes, this includes when we

are in our cars. When driving in the parking lot and when driving through the neighborhood especially a?er

mass, please drive with cau<on, courtesy and charity. Kids will soon be out of school, so please exercise special

a>en<on when driving. Pay a>en<on to the road, no tex<ng while driving, don’t be distracted on the phone,

slowdown in the neighborhood and remember to say a prayer to ask for God’s protec<on.

God Himself showed us the importance of taking a break from

work when he created the heavens and the earth and rested

on the seventh day. If you are lucky enough to be able to get

away to take a vaca<on, please enjoy yourselves and have a

great <me. As a friendly reminder, there is no vaca<on from

a>endance at Mass. God never ceases to provide for us and

we can never cease praising Him for His goodness to us. If you

are traveling this summer, plan ahead. Remember to keep

the Lord’s Day holy by a>ending Mass every Sunday. In fact,

a>ending a weekday Mass during your vaca<on is a wonderful

way to renew and refresh <red minds and bodies.

When you are traveling for pleasure or business, remember to

check out www.mass<mes.org for the name, loca<on and

Mass <mes of churches around the country and even

overseas.

Mass

Houston Heat

Summer is here and so is the heat and humidity. While we

are all looking for ways to beat the heat, we should also

remember that we never do so by wearing inappropriate

a�re to church. If our clothing is appropriate for the beach

or the back yard barbeque, it is probably not appropriate for

Holy Mass! How we dress is an outward sign of the respect

we give to our ac<ons.

We will work extra hard to make sure that the air

condi<oning will make us comfortable as we come and

praise God at Mass all summer long.

Adult Formation: Forming and Informing Disciples

St. Anthony of Padua’s feast day is Tuesday, June 13. Anthony, born Fernando

Martins, in Lisbon, Portugal, in 1195, joined the Augustinian order giving up a life

of wealth and power. Later when the bodies of the first Franciscan martyrs went

through the Portuguese city where he was stationed, Fernando was filled with an

intense longing to be one of those who die for the Good News. Shortly thereafter

Fernando received permission to enter the Franciscan Order, and took the name of

Anthony. Recognized as a great person of prayer, gifted Scripture and theology

scholar, Anthony was the first friar to teach theology to other friars. Soon he was

called from that post to preach to the Albigensians in France to convert and recover

those who had been misled by their heresy which denied

Christ’s divinity. Anthony was 35 years old when he died

and was proclaimed a Doctor of the Church by Pope Pius

XII in 1946.
