Listen to him. It is wonderful to begin this week acknowledging that we need God's help in listening and hearing. It is so powerful to ask for the "gift of integrity" - to express our desire for wholeness. And, we humbly ask for light in the midst of whatever might "shadow our vision." This is the God who allows Jesus to be transfigured before his disciples, to prepare them for what they were about to face. This is our God, who can give each of us the change of heart we ask for.

No flowers are allowed during Lent in the church or chapel.

Daylight Savings begins next week. Remember to move your clock/watch forward an hour.

Adult Ministry and Faith formation: Because Our Faith is too rich and beautiful to have ever learned it All…Contact Heidi Clark, Director of Adult Ministry, 281.333.3891, Ext. 328 or hclark@stpaulcatholic.org

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.

Can You Defend Your Faith? Spouses, friends, coworkers, adult children, rebellious teens, in-laws, sometimes even strangers put us in a position of needing to defend what we believe. It is not unusual to find it hard to put into words what is so personal and yet so profound. If you find yourself struggling to articulate your faith, we are once again offering a program called Symbolon that promises to help you grow in your faith and know it more deeply than ever before. Symbolon takes participants on a journey into the timeless beauty and truths of the Catholic faith—all while revealing God’s incredible love for us as expressed in the story of salvation. The series is being offered on Thursday afternoons at 2 PM in Room 1. The only cost involved is $20 for the workbook.

Women’s ACTS Retreat Registrations are being accepted for the next women’s ACTS retreat set to take place the weekend of April 9–12. Contact Amy Morris for information: amymorris1185@gmail.com.

Couples, Do You Need a Weekend Away?

“This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the Gospel.” Allow God to work and move in your marriage relationship. The next Worldwide Marriage Encounter weekends are April 17-19 and June 19-21. These are wonderful weekends away from it all where you get to focus on each other and the love you share. Register early to reserve a spot. Contact Brian and Tina Little at 281.773.4014 or go online to houstonme.org.

Gabriel Project Needs Volunteers/Donations

Our Gabriel Project ministry exists to support any mother who is experiencing a crisis in her pregnancy. Contact B Rodriguez at spgpbr@gmail.com for more information. Currently, our program is in great need of infant clothing for boys and girls in addition to disposable diapers for newborns and babies up to 20 lbs. Drop items off at the Welcome Center.

Join the Ladies Lunch Bunch Ladies of the parish are invited to join the St. Paul's Over 50 Lunch Bunch on Wednesday, March 11, at Angelo's Pizza and Pasta, 400 West Bay Area Blvd, Webster 77598, at 12:30 PM. If you do not receive a phone call, you may make a reservation by calling 281.474.3373. This group meets on the second Wednesday of every month. We look forward to having some new faces join us for friendly conversation and delicious food.

Catholic Prayer is Next Adult Catechism Topic: March 10

The Catechism reminds us that Jesus asks us to believe in order to pray and to pray in order to believe. There is a complementarity in which knowing and loving God support each other. But how? Find out by attending our next adult catechism program set for Tuesday, March 10, at 7:30 PM in Room 10. Discussions are facilitated by author, teacher and theologian, Julie Dienno-Demarest. Adult catechism sessions stand independently of one another; attend as often as you like. They are open to anyone interested in learning more about our faith. If you can’t attend this session, mark your calendar for the next one set for Tuesday, March 24: The Depth and Beauty of the Our Father.

Do you want to be Catholic? The process of becoming a Catholic is called the RCIA, the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. The RCIA is a process of coming to know Jesus Christ on a personal level and growing in readiness and commitment to be part of the Catholic Christian community. Find out more by contacting Heidi Clark at hclark@stpaulcatholic.org.

Society of St. Vincent de Paul 281.333.2509

Office Hours: Tuesday – Wednesday, 9:30 - 11:30 AM Thursday: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Lent is a call not just to “give up something” but more important to “give something for the poor.” Wherever you live in the parish, there are poor families within walking distance of your home. When in need, they ring the rectory bell. They are, in effect, ringing your doorbell. Your almsgiving in the St. Vincent de Paul poor box will help the poor to celebrate the grace of God’s love this Easter.

Through your gifts, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul was able to provide the following assistance in the month of January:

Number of Households Assisted: 98 Food $2,665 = 80 Families, 211 people (92 children)

Rent: $5,800 = 27 Families Utilities: $3,801 = 35 Families Home Visits: 13

Vincentians also logged 239 hours of service and 1030 miles during the month of December.

Volunteer Opportunity: Food Pantry Manager Needed: This position involves placing online orders with the Houston Food Bank (1-2 times per month), shelving the food donated by parishioners, and coordinating food pickup and delivery to St. Paul. We even have a list of families who have volunteered to drive to the HFB to pick up our orders. On average, the pantry provided food for over 200 people (half of which are typically children). If you feel the call to serve our Lord by serving your neighbor in this way, please contact Nancy at svdp.stpaulscatholic@gmail.com.

The SVDP Society would like to recognize and thank Jim Casmus for his service as Food Bank Manager over the past year, who helped us get off to a great start!

Upcoming Conference Meetings: March 11, and March 25, at 7 PM in St. Paul’s Conference Room.

Society of St. Vincent de Paul 281.333.2509

Office Hours: Tuesday – Wednesday, 9:30 - 11:30 AM Thursday: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM

En Cuaresma el llamado es no solo de “dar algo” sino más importante aún es de “dar algo para el necesitado”. No importa donde vivas siempre hay familias con necesidades cerca de tú casa. Personas con necesidades tocan el timbre de la rectoría en la iglesia. En efecto, Personas con necesidades tocan la puerta de Tú casa. Tus donaciones económicas en St. Vicente de Paul ayudaran al pobre a celebrar la gracia de Dios el Domingo de Resurrección.

Gracias a tus donaciones, La sociedad de St. Vicente de Paul pudo proveer asistencia en Enero: Hogares que recibieron ayuda: 98 Comida $2,665 = 80 familias, 211 personas (92 Niños) Renta $5800 = 27 Familias Servicios Públicos 3,801 = 35 Familias Visitas a hogares: 13

Bicentenarios donaron 239 horas de servicio y 1030 millas en el mes de Diciembre.

Necesitamos Voluntarios – Coordinador de despensa de comida: Esta posición requiere hacer órdenes en línea al Banco de comida de Houston (HFB) 1-2 veces por mes; así como coordinar recoger y entregar lo ordenado y su almacenamiento, además de almacenar la comida donada por los feligreses. (Hay una lista de familia voluntarias de recoger la comida del HFB). Nuestra despensa provee comida a más de 200 personas (de la cual más de la mitad son niños). Si tiene el llamado de servir a nuestro Señor de esta manera, por favor contactar a Nancy en svdp.stpaulscatholic@gmail.com. La sociedad de St. Vicente de Paul agradece a Jim Casmus por su servicio como Coordinador de la despensa de comida durante el año pasado. ¡Jim nos ayudó a tener un gran inicio!
