We are slowing reopening the parish and Sacraments are the parish’s top priority. Update - May 13, 2020
- Everyone who was on track to receive their Sacraments WILL receive them, though the date of reception may change.
- The parish leadership team is working on a re-scheduling plan for any Sacramental events that have been cancelled. We will let you know any updates as soon as we can. Please make sure you are signed up for Flocknote.
Our parish leadership team has been monitoring the latest COVID-19 protocols from the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, various levels of government, and Katy ISD. Due to the clear and consistent directives of those organizations, the April 4th Encounter is cancelled.
Our plan was to watch "The Passion of the Christ," directed by Mel Gibson. We strongly encourage you to still watch the film, which can be found on most movie streaming platforms.
We will be mailing you registration forms with details for next year soon.

Próximamente les enviaremos por correo los formularios de inscripción con detalles para el próximo año.
