Creating A Parish Of Transparency
As recent history and news media has reminded us, the Catholic Church is made up of broken humans. Abuse in the Church is never okay as it shatters the lives of the physical victims and violates the spiritual life of millions. While the Church is made up of sinners, we cannot accept the sin, but rather, we should have a holy hatred of the sin – for in doing so – is an act of love.
The effort to restore the moral credibility of the universal Church begins in our local parish community. At St. Anthony of Padua we are aiming to create a community of transparency and safety here in The Woodlands, TX. It is only by letting the light of Christ in that we can cast out the darkness of sin. Check back to this page for updates, information, procedures, and articles that will pertain to our local efforts to restore our Church.
