SUNDAY, OCTOBER 20th

EVERY YEAR, SOMETHING SPECIAL HAPPENS on the next-to-last Sunday of 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, and by giving generously to the collection for the Society for the Propagation of the Faith.

Pope Francis’ message for World Mission Sunday this year reflects on the theme: “Go and invite everyone to the banquet” (cf MT 22:9). He emphasizes, “Let us not forget that every Christian is called to take part in this universal mission by offering his or her own witness to the Gospel in every context, so that the whole Church can continually go forth with her Lord and Master to the “crossroads” of today’s world.”

Pope Francis concludes: "I take this opportunity to thank all those missionaries who, in response to Christ’s call, have left everything behind to go far from their homeland and bring the Good News to places where people have not yet received it,.”

Please join us on this special day by wearing your Mission shirts to Mass & sharing your testimony with our parish!

Save The Date - Saturday 09/28/24.

Let’s reunite for some fun after our triumphant 2024 Mission trip!

The event will be held at Kate Mims residence.

Psalm 118:24 – Celebrating Each Day

Every day is a gift from God! This verse reminds us to embrace each day with joy & gratitude. Whether it's an ordinary day or our special mission reunion, let's celebrate the life God has given us with a heart full of happiness.

Calling all Missionaries to join us before we depart to Honduras for a Special Mass at St Anthony of Padua. Our parish will send us off through the power of prayer!

Heavenly Father, we are so excited and honored you have allowed each one of us to be a part of this mission trip. We ask for Your hedge of protection to be over us, around us and in us. We ask that every place we go Your protection will be with us. Amen.

Pope Francis’ message for World Mission Sunday this year reflects on the theme: “You shall be my witnesses” (Acts 1:8).

To evangelize is the very identity of the Church..”

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. He is the founding father of St. Anthony’s Honduras Mission & his passion has fueled others who continue to carry on his dedication to service in his name.

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 the greater Houston region by the parishioners of St. Anthony of Padua that Deacon Mike Mims was pivotal in forming.

We have a wonderful opportunity as we did in 2021 for our mission to partner with St Anthony’s Bread Food Pantry on Thursday, November 17h. It’s an awesome way for missionaries to get together on this glorious day and have some fun while serving others in need.

Each year the Bread Food Pantry offers a Thanksgiving box full of all the trimmings to families in need of assistance in the Montgomery County Area.
