The St. Anthony of Padua Prayer Ministry at St. Laurence Catholic Church in Sugar Land, Texas joyfully brings together people of all ages to honor St. Anthony of Padua and seek his powerful intercession. Through prayer and devotion, the ministry encourages the faithful to grow closer to Jesus Christ and to experience the comfort, hope, and grace that come through the prayers of this beloved saint.
This devotion began at St. Laurence in April 1997 and continues to be a cherished spiritual tradition in the parish. Every Tuesday at 7:00 p.m., the community gathers for Holy Mass followed by the Novena to St. Anthony of Padua, entrusting their needs, families, and intentions to the Lord through the saint’s intercession.
Each year, the ministry also celebrates the Feast of St. Anthony, gathering the faithful in prayer and thanksgiving. The celebration is held on the Saturday closest to the saint’s feast day (June 13). In 2026, the Annual Feast will be celebrated at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 13.

Fifth of 13-week devotion: Prayer to St. Anthony of Padua for Those Who Desire the Sacrament of Marriage (April 14, 2026)
O blessed St. Anthony of Padua, faithful servant of God and gentle guide of souls, I come before you with hope and trust.
Intercede for all who desire the Sacrament of Marriage, especially those who are discerning their vocation. Pray that God may lead them according to His holy will, and guide them to relationships rooted in love, faith, and truth.
O dear St. Anthony, help them to grow in patience and trust, never losing hope in God’s perfect timing. Grant them wisdom to recognize the right person, and the courage to build a relationship founded on prayer, respect, and selfless love.
Bless those who are preparing for marriage, that their union may reflect the love of Christ—faithful, fruitful, and enduring. May their hearts be united in God, and their lives be a witness to His grace.
For those who feel lonely or uncertain, bring comfort and reassurance, that they are never alone, and that God is always guiding their path.
St. Anthony, intercede for them, that they may find joy in God’s plan and enter into holy and loving marriages, according to His divine will. Amen. 🙏
St. Anthony of Padua - Memorare
Remember, O miracle-working Saint, that it was never was heard that you left without help or relief anyone who in need had recourse to you. Animated with the liveliest confidence, even with the full conviction of not being refused, I fly for refuge for you, O most favored and blessed friend of the Infant Jesus! Eloquent preacher of the Divine mercies, despise not thy supplications, but bringing them before the throne of God, strengthen them by your intercession and obtain for me what I ask – help and consolation in my need, O most glorious, miracle-working, mighty St Anthony. Amen.
