Our CCE program is in need of a few more Catechists to complete our teaching team. Please consider being a part of this ministry.

We are very grateful to our very patient parishioners as we conduct much needed parking lot improvements.

My dear parishioners, the Gospel of John Chapter 6 is extraordinary. If anything in the whole of Sacred Scripture is the biblical heart of our Catholic religion, it is this particular chapter. Five-thousand men plus many women and children who have followed Jesus across the hillsides of northern Galilee are fed through a great miracle of fish and bread. Greater than this, Jesus will feed these with the miraculous teaching, Eat my flesh, drink my blood.  [Jn 6:56] 

Lots of learning, laughter, and smiles were seen and heard last week at VBS as the children learned all about the "Our Father." If you didn't have a chance to join us this year, mark your calendars for next summer and be sure to register for our CCE program!

My dear parishioners, “the eucharistic sacrifice is the source and the summit of the whole of the Church's worship and of the Christian life”.  [Eucharisticum Mysterium 3  1967] The word eucharist (Gk. eucharistein) invokes both voicing and offering thanks to our loving heavenly father. With this in mind, we take great care to participate in Mass with fidelity and observable devotion. This obviously embraces how we pray and sing hymns of praise to God. For God sees, God knows.

On Sunday, May 30, three graduating high school seniors were presented the Sylvester Leonard Scholarship, awarded by the Knights of Columbus, Council 9794.  Congratulations to Robby, Rebekah, and Erin.

Congratulations to the graduating Senior Class of 2021. St. Philip Parish is so proud of you and will keep you in our prayers...

My dear parishioners, one of the most evocative benedictions ever expressed in human language is St. Paul's farewell blessing to the Church of Corinth. The presiding priest proclaims it in every celebration of the Mass: "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all." [Roman Missal; cf. 2Cor 13:14] It is the greeting of Christians to one another, the holy kiss. [cf. Rom 16:16]...

Registration now open! Come join Catholic teens from the Archdiocese of Galveston Houston as they celebrate their faith.

My dear parishioners, it is the hint of her smile, I suppose, that first caught my attention. Everything about her face contributed to the moment -- her mysterious eyes, her beautiful complexion, her youth. She looked in my direction. I know she saw me, but I can tell she looked at many others as well. She regarded me in such a way that I actually received her smile as a gift. Yet, somehow, I perceived myself to be its cause. She discovered something good in me and shared her happiness. In that moment of recognition, so intense and alive, I had the sense that anyone would feel the way I do. Who told her about me? Why do I have the sense that she knew me before anyone told me her name?

My dear parishioners, our nation is like a beautiful cultivated vineyard being abandoned to ruin. Everywhere, violence and predation. Unproductive, tormented citizens. Scorn of our history and cherished institutions. Hatred of religion. Vicious rioters screaming for reparations. A flourishing victim class. Children attacking parents. Ruthless teacher unions abusing families and students. Political elites exploiting immigration to perpetuate their power. Corruption on all sides...

My dear parishioners, the deeply spiritual St. Gregory of Nyssa did not waste time or words when he said, “the goal of a virtuous life is to become like God”. How are we transformed? “NOW THE Lord is the Spirit", writes the Apostle Paul, and "...and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being changed into his likeness from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.” [2Cor 3:17]

My dear parishioners, I give you the joy of our savior’s resurrection from the dead! In each of our lives, there comes a time when we meet God unexpectedly. We encounter him in an entirely new way. An experience like this is unusual because of its intensity, its simplicity, its compression of human past, present and future into an exalted present moment...

My dear parishioners, on this Passion Sunday, it will do us good to reflect that suffering is both very personal as well as universal, a sorrowful fact of life in every age and culture. Suffering shatters the powerful strongholds of individual human pride as well as the hubris of mighty nations...
