Ministry and Continuing Education for Adults
Because Our Faith is too Rich to have ever Learned it All…
Contact Heidi Clark, Director of Adult Ministry, 281.333.3891, Ext. 328 or hclark@stpaulcatholic.org for more information.
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.
Inquiry Class Beginning
A new class called Inquiry is beginning for
people who are interested in learning more
about becoming Catholic. It will meet on
Sunday mornings after 9 AM Mass. Contact
Heidi Clark at hclark@stpaulcatholic.org for
information.
RCIA Needs Parish Sponsors
Our RCIA program for people joining the Catholic faith
is in need of people to act as parish sponsors to be that
welcoming person who takes on the role of helping
inquirers feel at home in our parish. Contact Heidi Clark
to volunteer: hclark@stpaulcatholic.org.

cribs, bedding, clothing, diapers, wipes, a
breast pump, and other necessities.
Theology of the Body Study for
Young Adults
All young adults between the ages of 18-24 are invited
to a special, 5-week series on St.
John Paul II’s teachings on the
Theology of the Body. This
study is taking a deeper and
more mature look at some of the
age-old questions in human
history such as, “What does it mean to be human?” and
“What am I seeking?” This exciting series is being
offered at Mary Queen Catholic Church in Friendswood
on Wednesday evenings from June 8, through July 6.
Each evening begins with dinner at 6:30 PM and
concludes by 9 PM. Registration is required and there is
a $15 fee to cover the cost of the accompanying
workbook. Sessions take place in the retreat house
behind the church and will be facilitated by Scott and

St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church will have a Virtus
Workshop. All volunteers who are in different ministries
and work with children under 18 must have this
workshop. This workshop will be in English. If you have
taken this workshop before, please do not attend, as this
is NOT a refresher workshop. To register go to
Virtusonline.com. You must register with the same
name as it appears in your Driver's License, ID, Car,
Mexico or Guatemala consulate card. If you have any
questions contact St. Paul's Virtus coordinator at

ATENCION A TODAS LAS DAMAS
¡NECESITAMOS SU AYUDA! Le pedimos que por
favor, se despinte el lápiz labial
antes de recibir la Preciosa Sangre
de Cristo. Nuestros Purificadores
se manchan por el lápiz labial y no se
pueden volver a utilizarse una vez
manchados. Los Purificadores son generosamente
donados por 2 feligreses y son lavados y planchados
por un grupo muy pequeño de mujeres muy
dedicadas. Estas mujeres enjuagan, desmanchan,
lavan y planchan de 3 a 40 purificadores por
semana. Es bastante trabajo pero podría ser mucho
más fácil si las manchas de lápiz labial no fueran tan
difíciles de quitar, por eso les pedimos despintarse
los labios antes de comulgar.
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.

Today as we celebrate Pentecost the Holy Spirit wants to make us advocates of God’s presence to bring new life
to others, especially those who do not know the love of God in their lives.
Your gift in the St. Vincent de Paul will help the poor to believe in the mystery of God’s love for them.
