Father Preston is requesting a refresher training/meeting for all Liturgical Ministers (Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, Sacristans, and Lectors) who are CURRENTLY SERVING at OLPH and SJA! The objective is to help establish consistency throughout all the ministries across both parishes. All trainings will take place at SJA from 6:00 to 7:00 pm. Please contact Rebecca if you have any questions! Below are the dates for each specific ministry:

• Tuesday, November 10th - Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion
• Monday, November 16th - Sacristans
• Monday, November 30th - Lectors

There will be NO daily Mass Thursday or Friday this week! Father Preston will be helping out at a Young Adults Retreat.

If you took a yard sign home to promote our Catholic Bazaar, the time has come for you to return those back to the churches! These are not for you to keep. Please bring your sign(s) with you when you attend Mass next, and leave them either at the back of OLPH or SJA. We appreciate your help spreading the word about our event!

Our next Baptismal Prep Class will be on Saturday, December 5 from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm at SJA! Preparation classes are required for both parents and godparents if you are planning to baptize your child, or be a sponsor, within the next 3 years. This class will be offered in English and Spanish. We kindly ask that you RSVP by December 3 if you plan to attend! To do so, please click below. If you have any questions, contact Rebecca at 832-212-4988. These classes are only offered quarterly in our parishes, so please plan appropriately as to when you'll need to attend.

Join Fr. Preston for a faith-filled pilgrimage to Italy, November 1-10, 2027, exploring the sacred sites, beautiful basilicas, and rich Catholic heritage of Rome, the Vatican, Assisi, Siena, and Orvieto. Visit the tombs of beloved saints, celebrate daily Mass, and encounter the beauty of our Catholic faith in the places where it has been lived and celebrated for centuries. Informational packets with the itinerary, pricing, and registration details are available at the back of both churches. Take one home to learn more about this special spiritual journey!

The Legion of Mary members take Communion and do home visits, visiting those who are sick or homebound and cannot make it to Mass! If you're interested yourself or know of a family member or loved one who would be, please contact Linda at 979-236-3978. These ladies go out on Wednesdays from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm.

Please be aware of any SCAMS that may come as an email, text message, or phone call trying to impersonate Father Preston to solicit donations. He will never contact you personally asking for money or if you have time to chat!
