Póngase en contacto con el director de la misión, Matthieu Billès, enssjmissions@gmail.com Virtual Tours Meet the Staff Lo que hacemos por las misiones Melissa (Missy) Smith has been a parishioner for nine years since moving to the Woodlands area as a newlywed from Western New York. Melissa received a Bachelor's in Philosophy and a Master's in Special Education in New York. Before teaching in Conroe ISD, Melissa moved to Winchester, Virginia where she taught special education in elementary school for two years. She has experience in teaching children as young as three years old up to high school students. Melissa has also taught confirmation and faith formation classes over the years. She has been a volunteer for the Tiny Catholics ministry for the last two years. Upon moving to the Woodlands area, she participated in a small group which has enriched her faith life and helped create a family atmosphere here at Sts. Simon and Jude. While teaching in Conroe ISD, her focus was on behavior management as well as the prek TEKS. After having her first child, she decided to become a stay-at-home mom. “I have always had a love to teach young children. Since having my children, I see the importance of raising them in the Catholic faith from a young age. I have an ongoing passion for learning about how children develop, learn, and grow in their social and emotional development. Over the last five years, my love for the church has evolved and I want to share all that I have been learning with others no matter their age. I feel so blessed to have this opportunity to take the knowledge I have learned and implemented over the years and apply it to this important new ministry at our church.” Carolina Henriquez | MDO Staff My name is Carolina Henriquez and I am excited to be a part of Rise and Shine: Mother’s Day Out Program. I am from El Salvador. My husband Jose and I along with our children, Jasmine, Cristian and Jose David have been active members of SSJ Parish for 6 years. As Catholic parents of three children, we strive to plant that seed of faith and love for God in our children. By being involved in our church community and praying for God to guide our children along their life journey. Our family enjoys traveling, playing sports, horseback riding, watching movies and exploring nature. It is important to me as a teacher, to help my students learn in a fun way recognizing each child’s gifts and strengths. Teaching at Rise and Shine will give me the opportunity to help parents with the emotional and academic growth of their children. I will nurture them as they explore their world, discover their potential, and develop their character. A child is a blessing and God's greatest gift to a family. As a teacher, taking care of them is my privilege. “Train the young in the way they should go; even when old, they will not swerve from it.” -Proverbs 22:6 Valquiria Botega | MDO Staff My name is Valquiria (Val). I am a Brazilian teacher who recently moved with my family to The Woodlands (2023). My family and I are parishioners of SSJ Parish. I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree (Portuguese and Spanish languages) and I have extensive teaching experience in middle and high schools in Brazil. I also volunteered at St. Dominic Parish in Brazil in the infant ministry. I am excited about the opportunity to utilize my skills and experience to develop children as part of Rise and Shine program. As a Catholic, I draw inspiration from the Virgin Mary to help children's growth and learning. In my free time, I enjoy reading biographies and crochet. Louisa Ackley | MDO Staff My name is Louisa Ackley. I am a graduate of The University of Louisiana at Lafayette.

I love working with four-year-olds! I look forward to watching preschoolers learn and grow! I am excited to be involved in the Rise and Shine program! My husband, oldest son, and I moved to Texas 15 years ago. I have been married for 16 years. My husband and I have four wonderful children ages 8, 10, 13, and 15.

Last year I taught at the Divine Mercy Co-op in the pre-k four room and this year I will be co-teaching in the two year old room. I’m really looking forward to getting to know your little ones and helping them to grow socially, academically, and spiritually! Rosanna Morales | MDO Staff Hello, My name is Rosanna.

Watching the children grow and learn is so rewarding. It feels like I now have more grandchildren!!!!!!! It is a blessing to be a part of making special memories for them as they begin this new chapter of their life. I am a mother of two sons and a grandmother of three very important people in my life. My granddaughter just graduated College Park, my grandson will be a junior at College Park, and my youngest grandson will start Kindergarten at Birnham Woods. Beatriz Duran Velez | MDO Staff I am Colombian by nationality and an Industrial Engineer by profession, but my immense love for children led me to leave my country and my life there to be closer to my daughter and my grandchildren. During these three years I have been in the United States, I have had the privilege of being a teacher at Magic Oak and Saint Anthony of Padua. It has been a blessing to share my care, values, love for God and the Virgin, as well as my knowledge and experience, with the children, guiding them to become better individuals. This journey has filled my heart with purpose and gratitude, and I am proud to contribute in shaping the future of these wonderful little souls.

Station 1 Jesus rises from the Dead | “He has been Raised” ALL: We adore You, O Risen Christ, and we bless You. Because by Your resurrection, You have given life to the world. Reading Then the angel said… “He has been raised just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has been raised from the dead, and he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him.’ Behold, I have told you.” Then they went away quickly from the tomb, fearful yet overjoyed, and ran to announce this to his disciples. (Matt 28:5a, 6b-8) Reflection On the first day of the week, at the dawning of the new creation, Jesus arose from the dead. No one saw the event, yet like the apostles, we are called to be witnesses of this central faith event. The light and power of Christ’s death and resurrection has become the pattern for our living. May we recognize Christ’s dying and rising in our midst. Silence Prayer This is the day, Lord God, that You have made! Raising Christ from the dead, and raising us with Christ, God our Father, creator of all, today is the day of overwhelming joy. The Lord appeared to those who had begun to lose hope and opened their eyes to what the Scriptures foretold: that first He must die and then rise. Amen. Station 2 The Women Discover the Empty Tomb | “He is not here” ALL: We adore You, O Risen Christ, and we bless You. Because by Your resurrection, You have given life to the world. Reading After the sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, approached, rolled back the stone, and sat upon it. His appearance was like lightning and his clothing was white as snow. The guards were shaken with fear of him and became like dead men. Then the angel said to the women in reply, “Do not be afraid! I know that you are seeking Jesus the crucified. He is not here, for he has been raised just as he said.” (Matt 28:1-6a) Reflection The empty tomb was not a proof of the resurrection, but rather a silent witness of the greatest event of our faith. Seeing the empty tomb, the disciples were motivated to seek the Risen Lord at work in their midst. They saw and believed in the continuing presence of the Lord of love. All the empty and lonely places of human life are precise! Silence Prayer God our Father, creator of all, today is the day of overwhelming joy. The Lord appeared to those who had begun to lose hope and opened their eyes to what the Scriptures foretold: that first He must die and then rise. May the Risen Lord breathe on our minds and open our eyes that we may know Him in the breaking of bread, and follow Him in His risen life. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen. Station 3 The Risen Lord appears to Mary Magdalene | “Rabbouni!” ALL: We adore You, O Risen Christ, and we bless You. Because by Your resurrection, You have given life to the world. Reading She turned around and saw Jesus there, but did not know it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?” She thought it was the gardener and said to him, “Sir, if you carried him away, tell me where you laid him, and I will take him.” Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to him in Hebrew, “Rabbouni,” which means Teacher. Jesus said to her, “Stop holding on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am going to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’ (John 20:14b-17a) Reflection When Mary Magdalene encounters the Risen Lord, she at first does not recognize Him, but when Jesus calls her by name she realizes that she is not speaking to a gardener, but she is speaking to the Risen Lord. When Jesus called her by name, he gave her the eyes of faith. Silence Prayer God our Father, open our hearts that we may hear you call us by name. For it is only when we open our hearts to you that we can see the Risen Lord’s presence in our lives. Illuminate our hearts that we can recognize Jesus Christ in the people arounds us, especially the poor. Amen. Station 4 Mary Magdalene Proclaims the Resurrection to the Disciples | “I have seen the Lord” ALL: We adore You, O Risen Christ, and we bless You. Because by Your resurrection, You have given life to the world. Reading Jesus said to her, “Go to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am going to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’ ” 18 Mary of Magdala went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord,” and what he told her. (John 20:17b-18) Reflection In the fourth gospel, Mary Magdalene is given the mission to carry the good news of the resurrection to the apostles and the disciples. Mary had been in the company of Jesus and His followers and is given the privilege to announce the hope of new life. She is known over the centuries as “the apostle to the Apostles.” Jesus called her to give a unique personal witness to her friends in the faith community. Silence Prayer God our Father, You will that all people to be saved and come to the knowledge of Your truth. Send workers into Your great harvest that the Gospel may be preached to every creature. May Your people, gathered together by the word of life and strengthened by the power of the sacraments, advance in the way of salvation. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. Station 5 The Risen Lord appears on the Road to Emmaus “What are your discussing” ALL: We adore You, O Risen Christ, and we bless You. Because by Your resurrection, You have given life to the world. Reading Now that very day two of them were going to a village seven miles from Jerusalem called Emmaus, and they were conversing about all the things that had occurred. And it happened that while they were conversing and debating, Jesus himself drew near and walked with them, but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him. He asked them, “What are you discussing as you walk along?” They stopped, looking downcast. One of them, named Cleopas, said to him in reply, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know of the things that have taken place there in these days?” And he replied to them, “What sort of things?” They said to him, “The things that happened to Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, how our chief priests and rulers both handed him over to a sentence of death and crucified him. But we were hoping that he would be the one to redeem Israel; and besides all this, it is now the third day since this took place. Some women from our group, however, have astounded us: they were at the tomb early in the morning and did not find his body; they came back and reported that they had indeed seen a vision of angels who announced that he was alive. Then some of those with us went to the tomb and found things just as the women had described, but him they did not see.” And he said to them, “Oh, how foolish you are! How slow of heart to believe all that the prophets spoke! Was it not necessary that the Messiah should suffer these things and enter into his glory?” Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them what referred to him in all the scriptures. (Luke 24:13-27) Reflection The Emmaus road is the story of the Christian life. These disciples were walking away from Jerusalem and the apostolic faith community in defeat and dejection. They had lost hope. We too, have moments of despair and desolation. The Risen Lord Jesus accompanies us along the road, even when we are moving in the wrong direction. Only the Lord can “break open” the Word in order to help us understand the stories of our lives, especially suffering, and read them in harmony with the pattern of the Scriptures. Only the Lord can rekindle our energy and our resolve to devote ourselves to what is most important in life. Silence Prayer Lord God, as disciples on our pilgrimage, we implore Jesus Christ: stay with us, Lord. Open our hearts to true conversion and, as we have known the Lord in the breaking of the bread, so make us witnesses of a new humanity, renewed, reconciled and at peace in Your love. Send us as heralds of the repentance and forgiveness You offer to all in the name of Jesus, who lives and reigns with You, forever and ever. Amen. Station 6 The Risen Lord is recognized in the Breaking of the Bread “They recognized him” ALL: We adore You, O Risen Christ, and we bless You. Because by Your resurrection, You have given life to the world. Reading As they approached the village to which they were going, he gave the impression that he was going on farther. But they urged him, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening and the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them. And it happened that, while he was with them at table, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them. With that their eyes were opened and they recognized him, but he vanished from their sight. Then they said to each other, “Were not our hearts burning [within us] while he spoke to us on the way and opened the scriptures to us?” (Luke 24:28-32) Reflection The encounter on the road leads to the table, the breaking of the bread and the total gift of self. Recognition of the Risen Lord is always linked with the Eucharist. At the heart of our Christian life is this meal of Word and Eucharist which we celebrate every Sunday. The Risen Lord presides over all our journeys, wishing to set our hearts on fire in generous service to all people in need, near and far. The gift we have received is the gift we share. Humbly, we set out on the various roads of our lives to respond to all the hungers of the human family. Silence Prayer You are truly blessed, O God of holiness: You accompany us with love as we journey through life. Blessed too, is Your Son, Jesus Christ, who is present among us, and whose love gathers us together. As once He did for His disciples, Christ now opens the Scriptures for us and breaks the bread. May the Eucharist we celebrate guide us to the fullness of Christ’s life. We pray in the power of Christ’s Spirit, forever and ever. Amen Station 7 The Risen Lord appears to Community of the Disciples “Peace to you” ALL: We adore You, O Risen Christ, and we bless You. Because by Your resurrection, You have given life to the world. Reading As they approached the village to which they were going, he gave the impression that he was going on farther. But they urged him, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening and the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them. And it happened that, while he was with them at table, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them. With that their eyes were opened and they recognized him, but he vanished from their sight. Then they said to each other, “Were not our hearts burning [within us] while he spoke to us on the way and opened the scriptures to us?” (Luke 24:28-32) Reflection The encounter on the road leads to the table, the breaking of the bread and the total gift of self. Recognition of the Risen Lord is always linked with the Eucharist. At the heart of our Christian life is this meal of Word and Eucharist which we celebrate every Sunday. The Risen Lord presides over all our journeys, wishing to set our hearts on fire in generous service to all people in need, near and far. The gift we have received is the gift we share. Humbly, we set out on the various roads of our lives to respond to all the hungers of the human family. Silence Prayer You are truly blessed, O God of holiness: You accompany us with love as we journey through life. Blessed too, is Your Son, Jesus Christ, who is present among us, and whose love gathers us together. As once He did for His disciples, Christ now opens the Scriptures for us and breaks the bread. May the Eucharist we celebrate guide us to the fullness of Christ’s life. We pray in the power of Christ’s Spirit, forever and ever. Amen Station 8 The Risen Lord breathes Peace and gives the Power to Forgive | “If you forgive then they are forgiven” ALL: We adore You, O Risen Christ, and we bless You. Because by Your resurrection, You have given life to the world. Reading On the evening of that first day of the week, when the doors were locked, where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. [Jesus] said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.” (John 20:19b-23) Reflection Even though the doors of the Upper Room were bolted shut, the Risen Lord pierced through all fear and united the hearts of the disciples with the gift of peace. Deep inner peace is the root and source of the peace and joy that the world cannot give. The Risen Lord calls us to seek peace always through a non-violent commitment to conflict resolution and thus transform the world, relationship by relationship. Silence Prayer God of perfect peace, violence and cruelty can have no part of You. May those who are at peace with one another hold fast to the good will that unites them; may those who are enemies forget their hatred and be healed. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. Station 9 The Risen Lord strengthens the faith of Thomas “Believe!” ALL: We adore You, O Risen Christ, and we bless You. Because by Your resurrection, You have given life to the world. Reading Thomas, called Didymus, one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger into the nailmarks and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.” Now a week later his disciples were again inside and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, although the doors were locked, and stood in their midst and said, “Peace be with you.” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe.” Thomas answered and said to him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.” (John 20:24-29) Reflection The story of Thomas is important because it is through Thomas’ example that we realize that doubt can be a part of faith. Too easily we call him “Doubting Thomas,” and forgetting that after examining the nail marks, he fully embraced the Risen One as his Lord and Savior. Thomas’ doubt was transformed into a lively faith. We too, are called to believe, knowing full well that our faith may be tested by doubt and fear. As disciples who desire an everdeeper faith, we are patient and understanding with those who are struggling, searching, and seeking like Thomas. Silence Prayer Heavenly Father and God of mercy, we no longer look for Jesus among the dead, for He is alive and has become the Lord of life. From the waters of death You raise us up with Him and renew Your gift of life within us. Increase in our minds and hearts the risen life we share with Christ and help us to grow as Your people toward the fullness of eternal life with you. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. Station 10 The Risen Lord Forgives Peter and Entrusts him to Feed his Sheep |“Feed my Sheep!” ALL: We adore You, O Risen Christ, and we bless You. Because by Your resurrection, You have given life to the world. Reading When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” He then said to him a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.” He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was distressed that he had said to him a third time, “Do you love me?” and he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” [Jesus] said to him, “Feed my sheep. Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to dress yourself and go where you wanted; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” He said this signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.” (John 21:15-19) Reflection The Risen Lord directs His attention to Peter whose embarrassing three-fold denial was still ringing in his heart. The questions posed by Jesus help Peter to find reconciliation and to embrace his new mission to tend and feed the sheep. Their encounter reminds us that forgiveness is always available, even for the most serious of mistakes we can make. This warm embrace of forgiveness strengthens our resolve to be reconcilers and healers in the Spirit of Jesus. Only love can overcome guilt and deception. Only love and forgiveness can make us whole. Silence Prayer Father, fill our hearts with the fire of Your love and the desire to ensure justice for our brothers and sisters. By sharing the good things You give us, may we secure justice and equality for every human being, an end to all division, and a human society built on love and peace. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen. Station 11 The Risen Lord Sends the Disciples into the World “Go to all nations” ALL: We adore You, O Risen Christ, and we bless You. Because by Your resurrection, You have given life to the world. Reading The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had ordered them. When they saw him, they worshiped, but they doubted. Then Jesus approached and said to them, “All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.” (Mat 28:16-20) Reflection From the mountaintop, the Risen Lord gives the “Great Commission” to the disciples to reach out to the ends of the earth. We realize that we are the recipients of this faith-filled mission: our ancestors embraced the faith of the apostles, who were the original witnesses of the resurrection. The greatest response we can give to such a legacy is our dedication to a new evangelization of our contemporary culture. We must allow the Risen Lord to reinvigorate our whole way of living, helping us to reevaluate every aspect of our lives with the values of the Kingdom of God. Silence Prayer God of all creation, whose mighty power raised Jesus from the dead, be present to this community of disciples whom You have called to the hope of a glorious inheritance among the saints. Strengthen us in the power of the Spirit to go and make disciples of all nations, to obey everything that Jesus Christ has commanded us, and to know that He is with us always until the end of the age, interceding on our behalf, living and reigning with You in the power of the Holy Spirit, now and forevermore. Amen. Station 12 The Risen Lord Ascends into Heaven | “He was lifted up” ALL: We adore You, O Risen Christ, and we bless You. Because by Your resurrection, You have given life to the world. Reading When they had gathered together they asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?” He answered them, “It is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has established by his own authority. But you will receive power when the holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” When he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him from their sight. While they were looking intently at the sky as he was going, suddenly two men dressed in white garments stood beside them. They said, “Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking at the sky? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will return in the same way as you have seen him going into heaven.” (Acts 1:6-11) Reflection The Scriptures do not portray the Ascension as a day of sadness. While still looking up at the skies, the disciples were consoled by the continuing presence of the Lord. They return to the familiar surroundings of the Upper Room, with Mary, the mother of the Lord, to pray in anticipation of their mission. In this “original novena,” we continue to implore the Risen Lord to be the center of our lives and to keep us focused as a jubilant pilgrim people. Silence Prayer Eternal God, clothe us now with Your power. With the eyes of our hearts enlightened, may we come to understand the immeasurable greatness of Your power at work in us who believe. In that strength, may we boldly pronounce the Good News of our salvation to everyone. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. Station 13 Mary and the Apostles keep Vigil in the Upper Room “With one heart they prayed” ALL: We adore You, O Risen Christ, and we bless You. Because by Your resurrection, You have given life to the world. Reading Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath day’s journey away. When they entered the city they went to the upper room where they were staying, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James. All these devoted themselves with one accord to prayer, together with some women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers. (Acts 1:12-14) Reflection Throughout the history of the Church, there have been apostolic movements dedicated to prayerful contemplation, and others resulting in transforming action. As we have crossed the threshold into a new millennium, we look to the “Upper Room” as a symbolic place where we return over and over again, so that we can become “contemplatives in action.” As persons who are both prayerful and energetic in service to the Gospel, we must always keep vigil for the advent of the Risen Lord, with the flame of faith alive in our hearts. Only the Lord can refresh our spirits and renew us in the ministries that flow from our Baptism and Confirmation. Silence Prayer Father most holy, see Your Church gathered here in prayerful worship like the first disciples and Mary in the Upper Room. Grant that we may accomplish, in the joy of the Holy Spirit, all that You give us to do in the world. May we gladly share in Christ’s sufferings so as to rejoice when His glory is revealed. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. Station 14 The Risen Lord sends the Holy Spirit “Filled with the Holy Spirit” ALL: We adore You, O Risen Christ, and we bless You. Because by Your resurrection, You have given life to the world. Reading When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled, they were all in one place together. And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were. Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them. And they were all filled with the holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim. (Acts 2:1-4) Reflection The power of the Holy Spirit drives the disciples from the Upper Room into the streets and marketplace. The Spirit compels them to take the message everywhere, in places familiar and unfamiliar, not stopping until they reach the ends of the world. We have been clothed with the same Spirit. We are called to be evangelizers and witnesses, near and far, wherever we go. The Spirit always goes before us, preparing the way and strengthening our hearts to be generous servants of the Risen Lord who ever guides us. Pentecost is an enduring and continuing event. We implore the Holy Spirit to renew the face of the earth by renewing us. Silence Prayer Father in heaven, through this spiritual journey, You have reminded us of the fullness of the mystery of Your revealed love. See Your people gathered in prayer, open to receive the Spirit’s flame. May it come to rest in our hearts and disperse the divisions of word and tongue. With one voice and one song, may we praise Your name in joy and thanksgiving. Grant this through Christ our Lord, and in the power of the Spirit, both now and forevermore. Amen. The Way of Light The Way of Light (Or Stations of the Resurrection) is a devotion that continues the narrative told by the traditional Stations of the Cross.

Nuestra misión “Id, pues, y haced discípulos” acogiendo a todos en nuestra Comunidad Eucarística donde crecemos en nuestro conocimiento, amor y servicio a Dios, para salir adelante proclamando la Buena Nueva. Acerca de Nuestra Parroquia La parroquia Saints Simon and Jude comenzó en 1979, cuando el obispo Fiorenza envió al reverendo monseñor Charles C. Domec (1931-2013, ordenado el 26 de mayo de 1956) a The Woodlands para plantar una iglesia y unir a las personas para construir una comunidad en la fe católica. Fue todo un desafío el que tuvo. Con la guía del Espíritu Santo y el liderazgo de décadas de feligreses devotos, la Iglesia Católica original en The Woodlands se ha convertido en una vibrante voz de fe con su gente trabajando unida para seguir haciendo crecer su amada parroquia. Hoy, el reverendo Patrick Garrett continúa liderando nuestra fe católica. “Nuestra fe es un misterio, eso es lo que significa la fe. Especialmente nuestra fe católica. Es un misterio construido sobre misterios. Es un misterio acerca de nosotros entrando en los misterios, acerca de cómo desarrollamos nuestra relación con Cristo al entrar en el Cuerpo de Cristo desde nuestros corazones ya través de un cambio en nuestras vidas. No se trata de lo que está en nuestra cabeza, se trata de lo que está en nuestro corazón.” - Padre Pat Garrett Conozca a nuestro equipo MEET OUR TEAM Santos Simón y Judas Tanto Simón como Judas eran hombres comunes que fueron escogidos por el mismo Jesús para enseñar a otros sobre el amor de Dios y para “hacer discípulos a todas las naciones” (Mateo 28:19). Sus vidas nos ayudan a comprender que incluso las personas más comunes pueden convertirse en santos cuando deciden seguir a Jesús. Ambos hombres fueron conocidos por otros nombres durante sus vidas. Simón era a menudo llamado “el Fanático”. Un fanático es una persona que está fuertemente comprometida con algo. En el caso de Simon, él creía firmemente en la importancia de que las personas siguieran la ley judía. Una vez que conoció a Jesús, su vida cambió y se convenció de que lo más importante era seguir a Jesús y sus enseñanzas. Creemos que otra razón por la que Simón tenía un apodo era para evitar que la gente lo confundiera con el otro apóstol llamado Simón, al que Jesús llamó Pedro. Jude también era conocido como "Jude Thaddeus". La gente usaba este título formal para que no lo confundieran con Judas, el apóstol que traicionó a Jesús y lo entregó para que lo arrestaran. Jude es el santo patrón de los casos desesperados y las situaciones desesperadas. La gente a menudo le reza a Jude cuando siente que no hay nadie más a quien acudir. Le piden a Judas que lleve su problema a Jesús. Debido a que Judas tenía una fe tan grande, sabemos que nada es imposible para los que creen en el Señor. Simón y Judas viajaron juntos para enseñar a otros acerca de Jesús. Debido a los relatos de sus testigos oculares sobre los milagros de Jesús y su muerte y resurrección, muchas personas se hicieron creyentes y se bautizaron. Simon y Jude murieron por su fe el mismo día en Beirut. Posteriormente, el cuerpo de Judas fue devuelto a Roma, donde fue enterrado en una cripta debajo de la basílica de San Pedro. Honramos a nuestros santos en su fiesta, el 28 de octubre.

caballeros de colón caballero de colón Consejo 17653 fue fundada el 11 de febrero de 2021 Los Caballeros de Colón son hombres católicos, mayores de 18 años, que están comprometidos a hacer de su comunidad un lugar mejor, mientras apoyan a su Iglesia. Ser un Caballero es más que camaradería; es estar involucrado con tu comunidad; es apoyar a su Iglesia Católica local, mientras mejora su propia fe; se trata de proteger y mejorar su vida familiar. Nuestra organización está fortalecida por su pasado e impulsada por sus objetivos para el futuro. Es a través de estas cinco áreas de servicio: fe, comunidad, familia, juventud y compañerismo, que realmente marcamos la diferencia. Nuestras metas: Fe: Como Caballeros, nuestra fe es nuestro fundamento. Dedicados al crecimiento de la Iglesia Católica y sus buenas obras, apoyamos la extensión religiosa, promovemos las vocaciones y brindamos apoyo financiero a los seminaristas y postulantes. De esta manera ayudamos a sostener nuestra Iglesia y fortalecemos nuestra fe personal. Comunidad : Al apoyar activa y financieramente a las Olimpiadas Especiales, al liderar la lucha pro-vida o al salvaguardar el medio ambiente, los Caballeros de todo el mundo han ayudado a prosperar a innumerables comunidades. Familia: Como padres y esposos, servir a nuestras familias no solo es parte de lo que hacemos, es parte de lo que somos. Lo más importante, como Caballeros, podemos ayudarnos y apoyarnos unos a otros y a nuestras familias cuando sea necesario. Juventud: Ayudar a los jóvenes de hoy a convertirse en los líderes del mañana también es un gran objetivo de la Orden. A través de muchas actividades patrocinadas, nuestro Consejo ayuda a los jóvenes a desarrollar un agudo sentido de responsabilidad cívica y religiosa. Compañerismo: Ser Caballero significa creer en los demás como creemos en nosotros mismos; Al darnos cuenta de que al crear consejos locales fuertes, sociales y de apoyo, ayudamos a crear una Orden más fuerte en todo el mundo y aseguramos un futuro aún más fuerte para nuestra Iglesia y nuestra Orden. Nuestros principios: Caridad: Nuestra fe católica nos enseña a “Amar a tu prójimo como a ti mismo”. Los miembros de Caballeros de Colón muestran amor por sus vecinos al realizar colectas de alimentos y donar los alimentos a los comedores comunitarios y despensas de alimentos locales, al ofrecerse como voluntarios en las Olimpiadas Especiales y al apoyar, tanto espiritual como materialmente, a las madres que eligen la vida para sus bebés. Los Caballeros reconocen que nuestra misión y nuestra fe en Dios nos impulsan a la acción. No hay mejor manera de experimentar el amor y la compasión que ayudando a los necesitados, un llamado que respondemos todos los días. Unidad: Ninguno de nosotros es tan bueno como todos nosotros. Todos los miembros de Caballeros de Colón saben que, juntos, podemos lograr mucho más de lo que cualquiera de nosotros podría lograr individualmente. Así que nos mantenemos unidos... nos apoyamos unos a otros. Eso no quiere decir que siempre estemos de acuerdo o que nunca haya una diferencia de opinión. Significa que, como Caballero de Colón, puede contar con el apoyo y el aliento de sus hermanos Caballeros mientras trabaja para mejorar la vida en su parroquia y comunidad. _cc781905-5cde-3194 -bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ Fraternidad : El Venerable Michael J. McGivney fundó Caballeros de Colón, en gran parte, para brindar asistencia a las viudas y los niños que quedaban cuando el sostén de la familia moría, a menudo prematuramente. El programa de seguros mejor calificado de la Orden continúa haciendo esto hoy, al igual que los Caballeros individuales, quienes el año pasado dieron más de 10 millones de horas de su tiempo para ayudar a los miembros enfermos y/o discapacitados y sus familias. En Caballeros de Colón, nos cuidamos y nos cuidamos unos a otros. Patriotismo: Los miembros de Caballeros de Colón, ya sean estadounidenses, canadienses, mexicanos, cubanos, filipinos, polacos o dominicanos, son ciudadanos patrióticos. Estamos orgullosos de nuestra devoción a Dios y al país, y creemos en defender a ambos. Ya sea en público o en privado, los Caballeros le recuerdan al mundo que los católicos apoyan a sus naciones y se encuentran entre los mejores ciudadanos.
