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, worship, and devotion, the ministry encourages the faithful to deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ and experience the peace, hope, and grace that God bestows through this beloved saint.
This cherished devotion began at St. Laurence Parish in April 1997 and has remained a vibrant spiritual tradition for nearly three decades. Every Tuesday, the faithful gather at 6:30 p.m. for the Holy Rosary and Chaplet of Divine Mercy, followed by Holy Mass and the Novena to St. Anthony of Padua at 7:00 p.m. Together, they entrust their families, intentions, and needs to the Lord through the saint’s loving intercession.
Each year, the ministry celebrates the Feast of St. Anthony of Padua, bringing the community together in prayer, thanksgiving, and fellowship. The annual celebration is held on the Saturday closest to St. Anthony’s feast day, June 13. In 2027, the 31st Annual Feast will be celebrated at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 12.
All are warmly invited to join this beautiful devotion and become part of a faith-filled community united in prayer. Come and experience the blessings, fellowship, and spiritual renewal that flow through the intercession of St. Anthony of Padua.

Seventh of 13-week devotion: Prayer to St. Anthony of Padua, Model of Humility (July 28, 2026)
O glorious St. Anthony of Padua, you lived a life of profound humility, seeking not honor or recognition, but only to know, love, and serve God. Though blessed with extraordinary wisdom and gifted with remarkable preaching, you remained meek in spirit, always giving glory to God for every grace you received.
Through your powerful intercession, obtain for me the grace of true humility. Help me to recognize that every blessing, talent, and achievement comes from God and is meant to be used for His glory and the service of others.
Teach me to imitate the humility of Jesus Christ, who came not to be served but to serve. Remove from my heart all pride, selfish ambition, envy, and the desire for human praise. Replace them with a spirit of simplicity, gentleness, gratitude, and selfless love.
O dear St. Anthony, help me to accept both success and failure with trust in God's providence. Give me the courage to acknowledge my weaknesses, the wisdom to learn from others, and the grace to forgive and seek forgiveness with a humble heart.
May my thoughts, words, and actions reflect the humility of Christ, so that I may become an instrument of His peace and a faithful witness to His Gospel. Help me to serve others with joy, placing their needs before my own, and to seek always the honor of God rather than my own.
St. Anthony of Padua, Model of Humility, pray for me, that I may walk humbly with my God and live each day for His greater glory. 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.
