Spiritual Direction is the art of Christian listening, a sacred relationship where a director helps someone to uncover and discover the direction of God in their lives with the help of the Holy Spirit. St. Paul offers several options for spiritual direction. Contact Heidi Clark for more info: hclark@stpaulcatholic.org or 281.333.3891, ext. 328. Please click on the title link for more information.

One Sunday each month at all the Masses we will highlight one piece of the Mass. The celebrant will take a few moments to explain the “who, what and why” of a particular action. There will be a bulletin handout which will have material for children and adults. The next Instructional Mass will take place the weekend of October 13-14, and cover the sacred vessels and vestments used during Mass. For more information, please contact Liturgy Director, Joyce Lubofsky at 281-957-7331 or email jlubofsky@stpaulcatholic.org .

We are pleased to bring a special, new ministry to the parish that is aimed at building community, helping you meet your fellow parishioners, enjoying good food, and having an inexpensive evening of fun! Supper clubs are a great way to accomplish all these things! Our supper clubs will be open to all parishioners whether you are single, married, divorced, or widowed. This is not a gourmet cooking club! Start talking about this special, new opportunity among your friends now. We’re also looking for someone to help coordinate the administrative aspects of this new ministry. If this sounds like something up your alley, please let Heidi know at hclark@stpaulcatholic.org or call 281.333.3891, ext. 328. Please click on the title link for more info.

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.

Our 2018 Diocesan Services Fund (DSF) begins next weekend in every parish throughout the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston. ​​​​​​​Your kind gift to DSF enables us to reach out to people in this parish and throughout the entire archdiocese through more than 60 important programs. ​​​​​​​Your generosity will allow our Catholic Community to continue many vital programs and services. Our parish goal for this year is $130,000.00. Please click on the title link for more information.

Usually Catholics have lots of saint medals, rosaries, prayer cards, saint statues, religious pictures, Catholic literature and brand new Catholic Bibles (because all they need to use is one). Please consider donating them to the Legion of Mary or Legion de Maria to use for Door-to-Door Evangelization and Book Borrow. Items may be dropped off at the Welcome Center with Legion of Mary written on the bag or Lora Ruzicka. The Legion de Maria needs all of the above but in Spanish. Thank you in advance for helping the Legion on their mission.

We have established a special needs lending closet for caregivers. Among the items available are transport chairs, a shower chair, portable commode, portable ramps, and more. Contact Heidi Clark at 281.333.3891 Ext. 328 or email hclark@stpaulcatholic.org for more info.
