Rev. Thomas F. Rafferty

Pastor

832-482-4126

Fr. Tom Rafferty has been the pastor of St. Anthony of Padua since 2008. He is a native Houstonian who graduated from St. Thomas High School and St. Mary’s Seminary downtown. Fr. Tom was ordained a priest in 1983 and has served at 7 other parishes in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston before his assignment in The Woodlands. He is an avid Houston sports fan, as many parishioners know, because they often run into him at an Astros or Rockets game. Fr. Tom has also been seen around town on his beloved motorcycle when making pastoral visits. He has a great love for the Church, the priesthood, and especially ministering to his flock who he affectionately calls the “Paduans.”
