St Anthony of Padua Catholic Church

The choir ladies do not welcome new visitor’s. First visit and last visit.

I love this church. There are several family events. Although it is big, they create events to encourage a community. They also have childcare during mass.

This church is full of greedy people who are constantly asking for money while spending ridiculous amounts for frivolous «necessities» every year. This place (and its parish) is too large, too money-​oriented, too high and mighty to be a house of God. And worst of all, they are too ignorant too see it, admit it, and change. Go outside the woodlands if you want to find a good Catholic Church. Don’t waste your time and money and faith here.

With so many horrendous atrocities occurring throughout the world, I find myself praying more than ever. I found solace in a peaceful parish near my home.
They are planning on doing some expansions and they are desperately needed since every mass is full to capacity. If you are five minutes late plan on standing room only during Sunday’s 11 a.m., 1 p.m., evening Teen Mass. So it’s good to see Catholics coming back to the church.
With so much money in the community this parish is doing well and has the parishioners and ministries to prove it. You will find so many helpful, kind ladies in the staff and so many people volunteering their time.
The best thing is that they have started a ministry for special needs children to prepare for their sacrament of First Reconciliation. I hope the rest of the country jumps on board because these ministries are few and far between.
Hurray and God bless this parish! St. Anthony of Padua… you’ve heard and answered my prayers.

Church was ok — pews were umcomfy and I cannot understand the priest that is there every time I attend — I literally cannot understand a word and I’m not sure if he’s speaking English or another language :/

I’ve always thought of Unilocal was good for restaurant/​bar reviews only, but I see everything else under the sun reviewed, so why not? I wonder if I gave a 1-​star review for a church, would that send me straight to purgatory (or worse)? This church isn’t my home parish, but being the black sheep prodigal son that I am, I like to stray and check out other churches once in awhile. I first heard of this church oddly enough at a racetrack back in 1999. At Texas World Speedway, I saw one of the drivers had a racing sponsor on his Acura Integra that said «St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church». I thought that was weird as I’m used to seeing decals for car dealerships, motor oils, race seats, exhaust systems. Fast forward 13 years later, I decided to check out this church in the Woodlands.
Drove up through the trees and saw a very large campus with a large modern church and a large school. Walking inside the church, it’s brand-​new looking, has high ceilings, and there’s TVs everywhere in case you can’t see priest or lector. The acoustics are great so you can hear everything from any point inside the church. There’s lots of families at the church with young kids. My daughter likes that a lot as she usually complains that our church that we usually go to is full of elderly people devoid of children. And the music is impressive (played Christmas music with a series of bells… that and the good acoustics inside the church helps). Everybody here is super-​friendly! We go here about half the time since I’m not zoned in this parish, but we do like this church a lot.
Bottom line: nice church, plenty of parking, pretty trees, cool bells, not full of old geezers, sponsors racecars, and I’m going to purgatory for this review ain’t I?
