Ministry and Continuing Education for Adults Because Our Faith is too Rich to have ever Learned it All…

Contact Heidi Clark, Director of Adult Ministry, 281.333.3891, Ext. 328 or [email protected] for more information.

Adult faith formation at St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church is centered around the understanding that living

“The Way” taught by Jesus Christ is a life-long, evolving journey, involving both effort and decision. To enable adults to explore the

faith and deepen their knowledge of God’s Word, we provide many opportunities to come together in a learning environment. As a

diverse community with a small parish feel, we know it is important to walk that journey with others and to share what we have

learned along the way.

READY FOR TAKE OFF! ANNOUNCING THE 2017 OUT OF THIS WORLD FESTIVAL COORDINATORS:

Tony Quezada contact: 281.217.18107 or [email protected]

Mele Paul contact: 281.455.31873 or [email protected]

Please pray that the Holy Spirit will guide them as we once again begin the process of bringing our St. Paul Community together to offer an Out of This World Festival that brings glory to God!

Please take a moment to e-mail or call them to personally express your gratitude and let them know that you will be praying for them. You can also let them know how you would like to participate in the Festival this year!

i, members of our St. Paul family! My name is Mele Paul. My husband, Tom

and I have been members of St. Paul since 1991. Some people aren’t sure of how to pronounce my first name. Both e’s are pronounced the same – “eh”, like in the word “every”. We have four children, Shirley (25), Valerie (21), Kevin (19) and Jason (16); all baptized here at St. Paul. All have served as altar servers and Jason who is still at home, is till serving at masses. I am an ACTS sister, having teamed on 5 retreats. I helped start our Perpetual Adoration ministry and chair the St. Paul Vocations Committee. My family has been involved in the Parish festival even before it was a “Festival”! We have had booths selling chicken-on-a-stick, meatballs and rice, piña-colada drinks and even ice cream!

When Tony asked me if I would join him as co-chair for this year’s festival, I decided it’s time to step out of my food booth and take a larger role in the festival’s success. In my Samoan culture we call upon our large extended family to help when there are important functions like weddings or funerals. Through joining our efforts and different but collective talents, things get handled and we are all better than through just the efforts of one person or a small group.

You, brothers and sisters of St. Paul, have become my extended family here in this country of the United States. I reach out to you to volunteer, to jump in with your ideas and efforts and come help us with this year’s festival to make it the best one ever. I’m excited about the challenge and I am looking forward to working together with all of you. Mele

hough we are in the very HOT middle of summertime, the OOTW Festival is really just around the

corner!! It’s not too early to start planning and getting ready! Bring back items from your vacation for the auctions, start making plans with family, neighbors and friends to attend and participate in the chili cook-off and 5K Run, ask your employers or other friends in local businesses for donations and support!! As your co-Chairs for this

year’s Festival we’d like to introduce ourselves.

I am Tony Quezada, a parishioner here at St. Paul since 2004. I have taught S.P.A.C.E. to freshmen and sophomores, been involved with ACTS, Men Who Cook, served as an officer in The Knights of Columbus and am currently on the Pastoral Council. Each year I have helped in numerous duties with the Festival. The parish and its well-being are very much a part of my and my family’s lives. My son was active in the work to build our Peace Garden. This Festival is not only great, great fun, pulling us all together as the spiritual family that we are, it is also the parish’s largest (and key, needed) fund raiser. As you know, past festivals have allowed us to place a new roof over the older part of the building. It has provided for Air Conditioning across the whole facility and heating in Founder’s Hall. (In fact it’s provided for Founder’s Hall!) We have been able to resurface the parking lot as well. In the past 2 years we together have raised over $150,000 at this event. We are praying to accomplish the same, if not even more, this year!

Thank you to everyone that has worked and participated in the festival in the past years. I invite you to be actively involved with me in the Out Of This World Festival this year. There are opportunities and needs of all kinds whatever your interest and talents are, behind the scenes or in front of the crowds!! Looking forward to working and enjoying time together as we again reach for and touch the stars with all our collective efforts! Tony

Mele Paul: Contacto: 281.455.31873 o [email protected]

¡Por favor, oren que el Espíritu Santo les guíe mientras comenzamos nuevamente el proceso de reunir a nuestra comunidad de San Pablo para ofrecer un Festival fuera de este mundo que trae la gloria a Dios!

†Hola, miembros de nuestra familia de San Pablo! Mi nombre es Mele Paul. Mi esposo, Tom y yo somos miembros de San pablo desde 1991. Algunas personas no están seguras de cómo pronunciar mi primer nombre. Las dos “e’s” se pronuncian lo mismo - "eh", como en la palabra "esto". Tenemos cuatro hijos, Shirley (25), Valerie (21), Kevin (19) y Jason (16); los cuatro han sido bautizados aquí en San Pablo. Todos han servido como monaguillos y Jason, que todavía está en casa, todavía sirve en las misas. Soy hermana de ACTS, y he trabajado en 5 retiros. Ayudé a comenzar nuestro ministerio de Adoración Perpetua y presidio en el Comité de Vocaciones de San Pablo. ¡Mi familia ha estado involucrada en el festival parroquial hasta antes de que fue un "Festival"! ¡Hemos tenido cabinas de

venta de pollo en palo, albóndigas y arroz, bebidas de piña-colada e hasta helados!

Cuando Tony me pidió que me uniera con él como co-presidente del festival de este año, decidí que era tiempo de dejar mi cabinita de comida y asumir un papel más grande en su éxito. En mi cultura samoana invitamos a todos de nuestra familia extendida a ayudar cuando hay funciones importantes como bodas o funerales. A través de unir nuestros esfuerzos y talentos, las cosas se manejan y todos somos mejores que con sólo los esfuerzos de una persona o un grupo pequeño.

Ustedes, hermanos y hermanas de San Pablo, son mi familia extendida aquí en este país de los Estados Unidos. Les pido que se unen con nosotros para ser voluntarios, con sus ideas y esfuerzos, ayudándonos con el festival de este año, que sea el mejor que nunca. ¡Estoy entusiasmada con este desafío y deseo trabajar juntos con todos ustedes en estos próximos meses! Mele

іAunque estamos en a medio muy caliente del verano, el OOTW Festival es realmente a la vuelta de la esquina! No es demasiado pronto para empezar a planificar y prepararse! іTraiga artículos de sus vacaciones para las subastas, comience a hacer planes con la familia, vecinos y amigos para asistir y participar en el chili cook off y 5K Run, pregunte a sus empleadores u otros amigos en las empresas locales para sus donaciones y apoyo! Como sus co-presidentes del Festival de este año, nos gustaría presentarnos.

Soy Tony Quezada, feligrés aquí en San Pablo desde 2004. En S.P.A.C.E. he enseñado a los estudiantes de primer y segundo año, he participado con ACTS, Men Who Cook, serví como oficial en Caballeros de Colon, y actualmente estoy en el Consejo Pastoral. Cada año he ayudado en numerosas áreas con el Festival. La parroquia y su bienestar son parte de mi vida y la de mi familia. Mi hijo fue activo en el trabajo para construir nuestro Jardín de la Paz. Este Festival no es sólo una gran diversión, nos reúne a todos juntos como la familia espiritual que somos. También es recaudador de fondos más significante de la parroquia. Como saben, los festivales pasados nos han permitido colocar un nuevo techo sobre la parte más vieja del edificio. Se ha previsto para el aire acondicionado en toda la instalación y la calefacción en el Salón de los Fundadores. (¡De hecho, permitió que las renovaciones que resultaron en el Salón del Fundadores!) Hemos sido capaces de hacer arreglos el aparcamiento también. En los últimos 2 años, juntos hemos recaudado más de $150,000 cada año en este evento. ¡Estamos orando para lograr lo mismo, si no más, este año! Gracias a todos los que han trabajado y participado en el festival en los últimos años. Los invito a participar activamente conmigo en el Out Of This World Festival este año. ¡Hay oportunidades y necesidades de todo tipo, sea cual sea su interés y talentos, detrás de las escenas o delante de las multitudes! ¡Esperamos trabajar y disfrutar juntos mientras volvemos a alcanzar y tocar las estrellas con todos nuestros esfuerzos colectivos! Tony
