This brief insert, adapted from authoritative sources, provides useful information for a person caught in an active shooter situation. Many actual events have these elements in common: a populated building, an attacker with a firearm, unarmed people and the unavailability of law enforcement officers in the first critical minutes. Nevertheless, some of this information could be applicable to other dangerous situations, as for example, being confronted by a knife-wielding assailant. Use this insert wisely to educate your household members. Please read and use the full document linked.

Charity and fellowship are hallmarks of all St. Philip ministries! This annual golf event enables donations and proceeds, used throughout the year, as blessings for others in need. We enjoyed perfect Houston weather and 56 spirited golfers!

PRAYER FOR SAINT PHILIP THE APOSTLE’S PROTECTION IN THE HURRICANE SEASON LORD JESUS CHRIST, when your apostles cried out in the midst of a stormy sea, you commanded the wind and waves to be still. DEFEND SAINT Philip parish and your Christian families from threatening storms. Preserve us from all evil and harm, for you created us in your image and likeness. GIVE YOUR people enjoyable weather throughout this hurricane season. Refresh our souls and grant us peace, for we place our trust in you. Saint Philip the Apostle, Our Lady of Guadalupe, St. Michael the Archangel, and all the angels and saints, watch over us now and forever,  world without end. Amen.
