The VBS meeting that was planned for Monday, May 21 HAS BEEN CANCELLED. When the meeting is rescheduled, the details will be on the website and in the bulletin.

May 18, 2018 - There was a shooting at Santa Fe High School this morning. There were multiple fatalities and injuries. CJ McCarren (Youth Minister) has been in contact with all the young people in our Youth Group, and they are all physically safe. The members of our congregation who work at SFHS are also physically safe. Father John has travelled to Galveston to visit a young man who was injured and his family at UTMB. The young man did suffer a gunshot wound to the leg. He is in ICU and is receiving excellent healthcare.

We have received many phone calls and emails of support from many of our friends, such as Fr. Dominic Pistone and Sister Virginia O'Donnell. We are grateful for your thoughts and prayers.

It is very important that we all stay as calm as we can in order to encourage healing. Our community and particularly our young people are going to need our love, understanding, support, and prayers in the days ahead. 

If you need help, please ask! There are people who want to help you. Call your friends and family, if you need support. If you feel you want to hurt yourself or others, call 911 or the National Suicide Hotline at 1-800-273-8255.
