Spiritual direction is about being silent long enough to listen and having someone help you make sense of what you hear. It dates back to the Old Testament when Paul, finding himself blinded, was told by Jesus to go into the city where he would be told what to do. St. Paul has trained lay spiritual directors who are available to meet with you. Contact Heidi Clark for info: hclark@stpaulcatholic.org or 281.333.3891, ext. 328.
The decision to become Catholic is always done in response to a generous invitation from Jesus to get to know Him better, and, as such, it is one that should be made only after careful thought and prayer. People convert to Catholicism by participating in RCIA or the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. It’s a process, not a program. As such, it adjusts to meet each person’s individual needs, and we are ready to welcome you at any time. For more information, contact Heidi Clark at hclark@stpaulcatholic.org or 281-957-7324 or Miriam Escobar (Espanol) at mescobar@stpaulcatholic.org or 281-957-7328.
Teamers, including Adults and Young Adults, our first meeting is Thursday, February 21st 6:30PM Sharp in Founder's Hall. Let's pray together, worship together, eat together and learn together.

In October, the Legion of Mary is sponsoring a Pray the Rosary Campaign aimed at uniting our community with the common goal of growing in devotion and holiness together. Legion of Mary members will distribute rosary tally sheets to all who wish to participate. Participants will keep track of the number of rosaries prayed and, at the end of the month, an announcement will be made as to the final number. This is part of an effort being promoted by Fr. Victor Perez, the area Legion of Mary’s spiritual director. Fr. Victor spent his pastoral year as a seminarian at St. Paul. Contact Maria Lorenzo for more information at email legionofmarystpaul@gmail.com
ATTENTION LADIES, WE NEED YOUR HELP! We ask you to please blot your lipstick before receiving the Precious Blood of Christ. Our Purificators are being stained by lipstick wiped off of the cups and they cannot be reused once stained. The Purificators are generously donated by 2 parishioners and are washed and ironed by a very small group of very dedicated women. These women presoak, treat lipstick stains, wash and iron anywhere from 30 to 40 Purificators per week. It is a tremendous job and could be so much easier if the lipstick stains were not such a problem. Please consider our request when you get dressed for Mass.
Legion of Mary is a lay apostolic association of Catholics who, with the sanction of the Church and under the powerful leadership of Mary Immaculate, serve the Church and neighbors on a voluntary basis. The object of the Legion of Mary is the glory of God through the holiness of its members developed by prayer and active Members participate in the life of the parish.
