Welcome to St. Philip the Apostle Catholic Church in Corpus Christi, Texas!

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

 The Holy season of Lent, dedicated to prayer, penance and self-denial comes calling us to walk the narrow way of holiness. For we have been looking for joy, peace and satisfaction in people and things around us, instead of our God. Prophet Joel reminds: "Return to the Lord, Your God, for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love." (2:13). Let us look forward to this season for a cleansing purification, conversion and renewal of our Catholic faith through active participation in the liturgy of the Church. May the Lord bless you to have a fruitful Lent. Amen
