2027 Mission - Travel to Honduras
Mission 2027: June 5th - June 12th
"Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, 'Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?' And I said, 'Here am I. Send me!'"
— Isaiah 6:8
Our mission is far more than a destination or a stamp in your passport. It is an invitation to answer God's call—to serve with love, share your faith, & witness His presence in another language, culture, & people.
Come with an open heart & eager expectation as God works through you & within you. Experience the joy of serving others, the beauty of a united Catholic community, & the transformative power of faith in action.
WHERE WILL GOD TAKE YOU?
The journey begins with a simple "YES."
Join us as we answer His call together!

APRIL 2026: Deacon Mike Mims Memorial Golf Tournament
Join us on MONDAY, APRIL 13th, for a day of golf.
A Legacy of Service & Community
The Deacon Mike Mims Memorial Golf Tournament honors the legacy of service, community, faith, and friendship that were pivotal to the ministry of Dcn. Mike Mims in The Woodlands, TX, and far beyond.
Deacon Mike (aka Deacon Baldy) was a trailblazer and a catalyst for many charitable causes, including Life Teen Inc, our very own Honduras mission, and a Haitian mission, but his most beloved cause was his ministry as a deacon to the people of St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church.
He always pushed those around him to succeed in every area of life, including how they treated others. Deacon Mike's ministry was sadly cut short as he passed away suddenly in 2015, but many of his good works continue today - positively impacting the lives of those who are in most need.
This golf tournament aims to further many of the over 100+ services provided to Montgomery County and greater Houston region by the parishioners of St. Anthony of Padua that Deacon Mike Mims was pivotal in forming.
Stay tuned for updates as there will be an opportunity to volunteer for this event on behalf of the Honduras Mission.

2025 World Mission Sunday
WORLD MISSION SUNDAY, OCTOBER 19th
EVERY YEAR, SOMETHING SPECIAL HAPPENS ON THE NEXT-TO-LAST SUNDAY IN OCTOBER.
WORLD MISSION SUNDAY joins all Catholics of the world into one community of faith. At Mass that Sunday, we recommit ourselves to our common vocation, through Baptism to be missionaries, through prayer, participation in the Eucharist, & by giving generously to the collection for the Society for the Propagation of the Faith.
As the Church prepares to celebrate World Mission Sunday in 2025, the late Pope Francis has given us a powerful theme that resonates deeply in this Jubilee Year: “Missionaries of Hope Among All Peoples.” In his message, the late Holy Father reminds us that hope is at the heart of the Christian mission, calling every baptized person to be “messengers & builders of hope” in a world that often finds itself overshadowed by uncertainty & despair.
““Even today, there are many settings in which the Christian faith is considered absurd, meant for the weak & unintelligent. Settings where other securities are preferred, like technology, money, success, power, or pleasure.””
Please join us on this special day by wearing your blue Mission shirts to the 11 AM Mass & sharing your testimony with our parish!
After mass, there will be a special gathering at Sheltz Hall with other mission groups from our diocese. We invite you to discover how missionaries are making a difference in our community & beyond!
2026 Honduras Mission Early Application Submission
THE 2026 MISSION APPLICATION PROCESS WILL OPEN:
AUGUST 12th - JANUARY 1st
The earlier commitment window allows missionaries to have more time to fundraise--including the holiday season--because a mission donation makes an excellent Christmas gift to you from your family & friends!
Prayerfully consider joining the team for a Catechetical, Medical & Dental mission to the mountains of Honduras. The 2026 Mission Application will open on 08/12/25 & close on 01/01/26, with a potential extension if not all spots are filled.
Planning for this year has been shifted forward by a few months to allow missionaries more time to achieve their fundraising goal. As soon as your application is approved, we will build a personal fundraising page for you to share with family & friends or post on social media.
No hablas español? No problemo! We need all kinds of missionaries – anyone who wants to work hard & share their talents in helping others. Travel to La Colonia, Honduras is scheduled for June 6, 2026 to June 13, 2026.
We are asking missionaries to complete their online application with a $200 commitment in order to move forward with operations & logistics planning. NOTE: For 2026, space may be limited to 60 travelers.
