An ideal Fall morning greeted us at the Oakhurst Golf Club in Porter, TX. After a hearty breakfast and reflecting on an opening prayer of thanksgiving, eleven golf foursomes made their “shotgun” start at separate holes.
At our weekend Masses on August 19-20, St. Philip was blessed with priestly joy, and motivated by the message of Fr. Fernando to make our “gift of self” to Christ, in the presence of the Eucharist, as the center of our lives. Our Mission Sunday goal is to assist their ministry with needed prayers and financial support, especially for their passionate support of Sri Lanka’s poor and oppressed.
Prime Timers ‘Humble-d’ August 25—visiting Humble, our neighboring City Mayor Norman Funderburk defined Humble’s 130 year history as a logging, cattle and later oil-boom town. We visited old downtown, the Charles Bender High School Performing Arts Center, and Lambrecht’s Artesian Well.

It was a “Chili Day” on Saturday, February 11th, as fifteen intrepid Knights of Columbus sous chefs gathered at the KofC picnic pavilion to prepare 260 quarts of that legendary Super Bowl chili. What a success. Thank you to all who supported this important charity fund-raising project! 170 quart jars of chili were sold after our weekend Masses on February 11, 12. Enjoy! And yes, everyone was a winner for this year’s Super Bowl. Check out stphiliphuffmantx.org for more photos!

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.
