New Mass schedule. ‐Houston is known across the nation as one of the most ethnically diverse
cities in the nation. At St. Paul, we take pride in being as diverse as Houston and in mirroring the
composition and diversity of the Archdiocese of Galveston‐Houston. Beginning the weekend of July 18‐19, 2020, we are adding a second Mass in Spanish to better meet the needs of our Spanish‐speaking brothers and sisters who now number about 50% of us. In a time when social distancing is so important, taking this step will help relieve the over‐crowding at the noon Mass in Spanish. At the same time, we will continue to celebrate three Masses in English every weekend. Saturday Masses
Vigil Mass in English at 5:00 p.m.
Vigil Mass in Spanish at 7:00 p.m. (New!)
Sunday Masses
9:00 a.m. in English
12:00 noon in Spanish
5:00 p.m. in English
Weekday Masses

Nuevo Horario de Misa Houston es conocido en toda la nación como una de las ciudades con mayor diversidad étnica del país. En St. Paul, nos enorgullece ser tan diversos como Houston y reflejar la composición y diversidad de la Arquidiócesis de Galveston-Houston. A partir del fin de semana del 18 y 19 de julio de 2020, estamos aumentando una segunda Misa en español para satisfacer mejor las necesidades de nuestros hermanos y hermanas hispanohablantes, que ahora representan aproximadamente el 50% de nosotros. En un momento en que el distanciamiento social es tan importante, dar este paso ayudará a que no esté tan llena la misa del mediodía en español. Al mismo tiempo, continuaremos celebrando tres misas en inglés cada fin de semana.

Adult Ministry and Faith Formation: Because our faith is too rich and too beautiful to have ever learned it all…
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.
Adult Ministry at St. Paul’s—Meeting you Wherever you Are
St. Paul’s offers a wide variety of ministries and programs to help community members grow in faith regardless of where they are on their journeys. If you are someone just returning to the faith, we have a small group for you. If you are interested in learning more about becoming Catholic, we have something for you, too. If you are active in your faith but feel like you have still more growth to achieve, we have programs for you, too. All these programs are being offered online using Zoom. If you have a need that you think we aren’t meeting, let us know so we can work together to help accomplish that. Contact Heidi for more info: [email protected] or 281-333-3891, ext. 328.
For those Considering Catholicism Our RCIA program is created specifically to welcome seekers at any time throughout the year. If you feel like God is calling you to learn more about becoming Catholic, now is a great time to respond to that call. Our RCIA program is currently meeting online, and we have options to help regardless of what your availability might be. Contact Heidi at [email protected] or call 281-333-3891, ext. 328.
On the Horizon: Discovering our Dignity Bible Study for Women
Our always-popular women’s Bible studies are wrapping up for the summer, but we are looking forward to another amazing offering beginning in September. The book we’ll be using is called Discovering our Dignity, and it’s a study of women of the Bible. Imagine the most well-known women of the Bible stepping into your life and sharing with you their best advice about the things in life that really matter. That’s the focus of Discovering our Dignity. Two sessions will be offered—one on Monday evening and the other on Tuesday morning. Want more info? Contact Heidi at 281-333-3891, ext. 328 or [email protected]
Congratulations, New Catholics! In the last several weeks, we joyfully have welcomed nine new Catholics who, after completing their journeys through RCIA, have either been baptized into the faith or made Professions of Faith after having been baptized in another religion. We are grateful for the beauty and richness that each of these individuals brings to our faith community. Congratulations Dylan Chagoya, Virginia Frank, Adelynne Guerra, Matt Higgs, Estevan Leyva, Rey Lopez, Steven Murray, Michael Karousos, and Josue Parr.
Updates from ACTS Regular ACTS events have been an ongoing part of community life at St. Paul’s for 15 years. Except for a brief interruption following Hurricane Harvey, this is the first time that our church community has had to postpone a significant portion of the ministerial and community events that ACTS offers our parish family. To date, the women’s July retreat in English, the men’s September retreat in English, and the annual Men Who Cook fund raiser have all been cancelled or postponed. The ACTS Core Team agreed that keeping the health and well-being of community members is of utmost importance. Team members are working on an alternative community building event for everyone and also are committed to supporting our annual parish festival in every way possible.
Men’s Friday Rise Continues Despite the need for social distancing, many groups and ministries continue to meet online and in other, creative ways. Among them is the weekly men’s Rise group which meets online via Zoom from 7-8 a.m. on Friday mornings. They discuss that weekend’s scripture readings, opportunities for service, and share aspects of their faith journeys. If you’d like more information about joining them, contact Marcus at 832-250-3897 or Brian at 713-560-8412. Newcomers are always welcome!

Welcome to Youth Ministry “…dedicated to bringing teens into relationship with Jesus Christ, and empowering young people to become disciples of Him in their everyday life through
study of scripture, catechesis and service…” Youth Ministry
What can we learn from today’s Gospel?…. Reflection from Adorers of the blood of Christ
Did you ever notice how sunflowers naturally follow the sun? Once the plant grows up and the flower blooms, the flower always faces the sun. So when the sun rises in the East in the morning — the sunflower faces that direction. As the sun travels across the sky during the day the sunflower will turn its face and follow the sun to the west where it sets each evening. We, too, can follow Jesus, the Son. He encourages, guides, and helps us to grow in becoming more loving with our family members in our home, and with our friends in the neighborhood. We have many opportunities this summer to be kind toward our brothers and sisters. We can share our games, take turns, help around the house — without even being asked or reminded.
We can follow Jesus the Son, by remembering our prayers in the morning, at meals, and night before we go to sleep at night. We can pay attention to people who may be lonely or sad. We can help a neighbor with yard work. We can share a smile or a hug with others. Our love for Jesus is so wonderful that we can’t keep it inside of us. We must share the Good News with others.
Discussion Questions 1. How can we live the message in today’s Gospel message this week? 2. Do we listen to others who spread the message? 3. Who are the people in our lives who spread the message of God to us each day? 4. What can we do in our home or neighborhood to spread the Good News this week? 5. How can we pay more attention to our Parent(s) when they ask us to do something?
