📣 A Wonderful Update for Our St. Philip the Apostle Parish Family! ⛪🎨

We are pleased to announce that the ceiling painting project in the church has been completed, and all scaffolding has now been removed!

Beginning this weekend, all seating throughout the church will once again be available for our parishioners and visitors. We are excited for everyone to see the progress being made as we continue the renovation of our beautiful church.

We extend our sincere gratitude to all of our parishioners for your patience, understanding, and support throughout this project. Your flexibility and encouragement during this time have been greatly appreciated.

A very special thank you to Frank Smith and his team for coordinating the work so faithfully and helping ensure the project progressed as smoothly as possible. We are grateful for their dedication, hard work, and commitment to our parish community.

Please note: Until further notice, First Friday Devotions, Adoration, and Daily Masses will continue to be celebrated in the Chapel to allow contractors to continue their work in the church.

Thank you again for your prayers, patience, and support. We look forward to worshiping together this weekend with full seating restored in the church!

✨Please join us in thanking Jacob and wishing him every success in his new endeavor! ❤️

We are sad to see Jacob, our Director of Religious Education (DRE), move on, but we are excited for him and this new chapter in his life. We are incredibly grateful for all that Jacob has done for our parish, especially for the love, dedication, and talents he has shared with our youth over the past several years.

This is not goodbye! We know we will continue to see Jacob and Sarah Beth at Mass each weekend, and are so grateful that they will remain a part of our parish family. ❤️

Thank you, Jacob and Sarah Beth, for sharing your talents, your faith, and your love with our parish youth. You have made a lasting impact, and we are truly grateful for all you have done.

May God bless you both abundantly as you begin this new endeavor! 🙏❤️
We are cheering you on and will continue to keep you in our prayers!🙏📿🕊️🚘

Today, the Permanent Deacons of the Diocese of Corpus Christi and their wives were blessed to hear from Bishop Mario Alberto Avilés, C.O.

Bishop Avilés expressed his gratitude for the deacons and their wives for their faithful service and sacrifice to the Church. He reminded us that the call to the permanent diaconate is more than a ministry—it is a call to serve, to love, to lead by example, and to bring Christ to others through our words and actions.

He also reminded us that this vocation is lived not only by the deacon, but with the support and love of his wife and family. Their sacrifices and prayers are an important part of this ministry.

May God continue to strengthen our deacons, their wives, and their families as they answer Christ’s call to serve His Church and His people.

🙏 Thank you, Bishop Avilés, for your encouragement and for reminding us of the great responsibility and blessing of the diaconate

Today’s Mass reminds us that the Cross is not weakness—it is the power and wisdom of God. What the world may see as foolish, God uses to bring salvation.

In the Gospel, Jesus calls us to be like the wise bridesmaids who kept their lamps filled with oil. Our faith must be nourished each day through prayer, charity, forgiveness, and service. Staying ready for Christ means living faithfully—not waiting until the last moment.

May Saint Augustine intercede for us and help us seek God, the source of true wisdom and love.

Lord, keep the lamp of our faith burning brightly.

Today’s readings call us to live a faith that is genuine not merely beautiful on the outside. May our work, conduct, and relationships reflect an honest heart devoted to God. “Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in his ways.”

Lord Jesus,
purify my heart from hypocrisy and guide me to live sincerely before you. Bless the work of my hands, teach me diligence and responsibility, and help my outward actions reflect an interior life rooted in your truth. May I walk in Your ways and bring peace to others.

Amen.

“Who do you say that I am?” Jesus invites us to renew our faith and proclaim with Peter: “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”

May we trust Christ, remain steadfast in His Church, and give thanks for the depth of God’s wisdom and love. To Him be glory forever!
