Firm Foundations Ministry Are you building a new home or renovating an old one? Before you close those walls, how about giving your foundation some “scriptural strength?” Text Jennifer Collins at 610-2728 or call the parish office, 835-9343, and someone will come out to place “The Word” on your beams and boards. Does this ministry appeal to you? Contact Jennifer, or the church office, if you are interested!
Alpha 8 Registration is Open!!! We are very excited to announce that plans are underway for Alpha 8 to begin August 24! Registration is open, but spaces are filling fast. If you are interested, it would be wise to sign up soon. We are happy to say that we will once again be offering babysitting services during the Alpha sessions. Alpha is an opportunity to explore life
and the Catholic Christian faith in a friendly and informal environment. It provides the time and space to consider and discuss the “big questions” in life: What is the meaning of life? Why am I here? For those who are already practicing Catholics, Alpha offers an opportunity to consider what we believe, why we believe it, and what it has to do with how we live. We revisit our most basic Christian beliefs and renew our openness to the Holy Spirit to be active in our daily lives. Alpha is designed to meet everyone where they are and invite them to grow even closer to Jesus. Alpha takes place over 11 weekly sessions, beginning August 24, and a “weekend retreat” (Friday evening, October 8, and Saturday, October 9). Each session runs from 6:30-8:30 pm and includes sharing a meal, watching a video, and discussing the video in a small group. We believe that you will find the videos to be engaging and the format to be fun and interesting. Alpha is a great way to make new friends and forge relationships. If you are interested in joining us for Alpha 8, please go to the website scschurch.com/alpha/signup, or call Pam Truxillo, 281-755-6667, for more information.

It was awesome to have our first school play in well over a year. Even though only parents could attend, it was great to see our first grade students on stage for our Disney Revue. Thank you to Keri Robin Murphy and the first grade teachers who made this possible! Phenomenal job, first graders!
Our second grade students attended a retreat the day before their First Holy Communion. At the end of the retreat, the entire school surrounded them and prayed for them as they prepared to receive Jesus in the Eucharist for the first time.

Parish Snapshots
St. Catherine's had their first ever golf match in the 95-year history of the school, teeing it up against Stuart Hall at Lakewood Golf Course. The sun was bright, the wind was howling, and Coach was a little nervous. Although SCS did not come home with the victory, the team did great! Stuart Hall brought a hand full of 7th graders, which gave them the advantage off of the tee. The younger Gators showed more promise around the greens, which kept St. Catherine in the match. Our team was highlighted by the first two groups that teed off. Augustin and Colin shot a nice round of even par. Francie and Roman shot a nice round of three over par. The shot of the day came from Roman, who chipped one in for birdie on the 4th hole. We are very excited about this addition to our athletic program!
