I love the Co-Cathedral. I've been to it many times before and think it's just absolutely beautiful. It's everything a Cathedral should be. Large vaulting ceiling, large pillars, and a grand main room with a beautiful alter. If you have the chance to visit, you should make sure you park in the designated parking lot across from the church to avoid having to pay for parking nearby. Good luck and I hope you like it!

Being here you immediately feel in intense spirituality, it is beautiful.
There are masses in different languages and different times. The songs are beautiful, some in Latin, with an ancient instrument
The architecture is amazing. It is spacious, clear, modern and harmonious

Beautiful place of prayer that should not be missed if you visit Houston. Art and Spirituality in each corner ... The huge single organ in the USA is played at midday mass and it is delightful to listen to it. There are confessions before each Mass which makes the visit very convenient. Do not miss it

My first time on a Vietnamese/ English Service, it was amazing. I love the blend of cultures and the inside of the cathedral was impressively beautiful. it looks like an European Cathedral but in a modern style. Amazing design.

The homily by the priest was extremely fruitful and profound.
The church itself is large, beautiful and well maintained.
Definitely a good choice for mass.
I ve been there for confession in the morning twice; both times was a simple, quick and not a spiritually fruitful experience at all. It would be nice if the priest offered more real guidance and care instead of that just getting it over with kind of feel.

AMEN

Due to the phenomenal growth in the city of Houston and the consequent increase in the number of Catholics and Catholic institutions, Pope John XXIII designated the city of Houston to be an episcopal city, effective on December 24, 1959. Thus the Diocese of Galveston was henceforth to be known as the Diocese of Galveston-Houston. This did not change the status of the city of Galveston as an episcopal city established in 1847, the first such city in the state of Texas. With the elevation of Sacred Heart Parish to a Co-Cathedral, it became co-equal in rank with St. Mary Cathedral in Galveston. With this designation, an episcopal chair was also installed in Sacred Heart Co-Cathedral. Full episcopal ceremonies could then be celebrated in Houston, as well as in Galveston. The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston (Latin: Archidioecesis Galvestoniensis Houstoniensis) encompasses 8880 square miles (23000 km2) of ten counties in the southeastern area of Texas: Galveston; Harris; Austin; Brazoria; Fort Bend; Grimes; Montgomery; San Jacinto; Walker; and Waller.
