What happens when communicators from parishes across the Archdiocese come together? Great conversations, fresh ideas, and a shared commitment to serving our communities!

We were honored to host the Archdiocesan Communications Network meeting, bringing together communications directors, parish staff, and volunteers for a morning of collaboration and learning. Thank you to everyone who joined us as we explored new ways to connect with parishioners, strengthen ministry outreach, and support the mission of the Church. We're grateful to have been part of such an inspiring gathering!

The DMI survey closes THIS SUNDAY, October 25th! If you haven't already, please take a few moments to complete this survey - link in the shared post. 🙏

Parishioners across the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston are invited to share their thoughts, reflect on their spiritual growth, and provide parish leadership with invaluable insight regarding their parish’s strengths and opportunities through a survey, the Disciple Maker Index (DMI). This anonymous survey, which takes about 10-15 minutes to complete, helps us listen carefully to the voices of our communities and better understand how we are growing as missionary disciples of Jesus Christ. Rooted in the Church’s call to evangelization and stewardship, the DMI invites parishioners to reflect on their relationship with Christ, their experience of parish life, and how well our parishes support spiritual growth and engagement. Your honest participation provides valuable insight that will guide parish and archdiocesan leadership in prayerful planning, helping us strengthen what is bearing fruit and address areas where God may be calling us to grow together as a faith-filled community.

The DMI survey is open for responses from September 27-October 25.

Praise God! 🙏

Please continue to pray for the Holy Father's recovery from surgery!

Pope Leo XIV’s doctors have confirmed that the tumor removed on October 13 was a lung adenocarcinoma and that the disease was localized.

Dr. Luigi Carbone and Professor Stefano Margaritora said on Wednesday evening that a subsequent oncological assessment has confirmed that “no further treatment is necessary.”

We're a little late celebrating Boss's Day... but we had to wait until all our "bossy" people were in one place! 😉🎉

For Boss's Day, we're grateful for the incredible leaders who help guide and support our parish every day.

Thank you to our faithful priests, Father Christian and Father Thomas, for being faithful shepherds to our flock and leading us closer to Christ. 🙏

We're also grateful for:
Annette, who leads our Evangelization & Catechesis team and helps form disciples of all ages.
Joseph, who oversees our liturgies and helps ensure our worship is beautiful, prayerful, and meaningful.
Dayna, our Music Director, whose talents inspire us to lift our hearts and voices in praise.
Renee, our Business Manager, whose dedication and behind-the-scenes leadership help keep our parish thriving day in and day out.

Please join us in thanking these amazing leaders for their service, commitment, and love for our parish family. We are truly blessed to have each of them sharing their gifts with our community! 🙏❤️

P.S. We promise "bossy people" is a term of endearment around here! 😝

Ephesians 2:12-22; Luke 12:35-38. God’s helping hand is such a powerful gift. Today’s reading is about the grace that changed the persecutor of Christians to one of the greatest disciples in Paul. May our hearts always be open to receive God’s work in our lives.

O glorious St. Paul of the Cross, you were chosen by God to profess the bitter sufferings of His only-begotten Son and to spread devotion to the Passion of Jesus throughout the world. By your preaching and holy example, many sinners were converted through you.
May Jesus be blessed for His extraordinary grace that was so often present in your life. I turn to you now, asking that you look mercifully upon my soul and hear my prayers. Intercede for me with Jesus and Mary, that I may love them with all my heart and die a holy death, enjoying their blessed presence in Heaven for all eternity.
