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.

2. Make a bird feeder: Using a cone (ice cream) allow your child to spread peanut butter on the cone, roll the cone in bird seed. Hang the “bird feeder” in a tree or a shrub.

3. Rock painting: select a few rocks from the yard. Paint with nontoxic paint, put some google eyes on it and give it name!

4. Don’t forget sidewalk chalk and games. Hopscotch is still loads of fun and an awesome gross motor activity.

Your Spiritually Adopted Baby is 6 Months Old Now!

“I’m sitting up straight now!” Your spiritually adopted baby is developing quite beautifully. Her weight is approaching 2 pounds. She sits up straight now to accommodate her internal organs which have moved into their final place in her little body. Babies born prematurely at this time have a very good chance of surviving. The medical advances in caring for extremely small newborn infants are extraordinary indeed. Don’t forget to pray for your baby. Abortion is legal through all nine months in some states.
