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 [email protected]
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?
Join the Ladies Lunch Bunch
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.
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.
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:

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.

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 [email protected].

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.
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.
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

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

thank Jim Casmus for his service as Food Bank
Manager over the past year, who helped us get off
