Who We Are -
Come and See
-
Welcome to St. Philip the Apostle Catholic Church! We embrace new members as we celebrate the riches of our Faith and the beauty of our liturgical celebrations. We are a small parish family with a big heart. With true Texan grit along with deep, abiding faith, we’ve faced adversity and trusted in the providence of God as we’ve recovered from damaging storms.
Amid the challenges, our bonds have strengthened, and our trust has deepened. Today our local community is growing, and so is our parish family. We aim to treasure the truths of the Faith, grow in holiness, foster priestly and religious vocations, assist those in need, cherish and educate the next generation, and reflect in our lives what we proclaim with our lips.To all who are interested in learning more about Christ and growing in His love, we echo the words of our patron, St. Philip the Apostle: “Come and see” (John 1:39).
