Eucharistic Adoration Eucharistic Adoration every 1st Friday of each

month from 10:00 p.m. on Friday through out the night until

4th Sunday of Advent: December 20 That we take time to properly prepare ourselves to celebrate Mass each Sunday. “For behold,

when the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy.” (Luke 1:44) When you hear the scripture readings and Gospel reading each Sun-day, do you “leap for joy?” If not, don’t blame the lectur-er or priest, rather look inside yourself. Do you prepare for Mass each week or do you just show up and expect to be entertained?

Thinking about becoming a Catholic? The Rite to Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) has begun, but it is not too late to join. We meet Monday evenings at 7:00 p.m. in the Parish Life Center. Come join us as we journey toward full membership in the Catholic Church. Dress is casual; class is casual.

“Looking For A Few Good Men” For most men who follow Jesus, there comes a time when duty extends beyond our own lives, beyond how we lead our families, and into how we serve our fellow man. We are proud of our devotion to God and country, and believe in standing up for both. Whether it's in public or private, the Knights remind the world that Catholics support their nations and are amongst the greatest citizens. That is what the Knights of Columbus is all about. Please consider becoming a member of this unique band of brothers. For further info. Please contact Ignacio Pena @ 281-935-2163, or David Lopez @ 281-507-6051. Thank You
