I hope this is an appropriate place to post this. If not, please forgive me.

I am looking to find a more Orthodox parish in the Houston area. The one we currently attend is too liberal for me. We live literally a mile from downtown, so we can go pretty much anywhere in the area. A parish with some young married couples with kids would be a plus.

Thanks for any recommendations!

I’m partial to St Cecilia’s off Bunker Hill at I-10 as then Fr. Rizotto was our next door neighbor when I grew up there. Shrine of the True Cross out in Dickinson past Clear Lake has very reverent Masses. There is an Indult TLM near downtown, I think two times every Sunday. I know there are others people will suggest.

Wow, there are so many choices! I lived in Houston 15 years, just moved away a year ago, on the far west side of town and was very happy with St. John Vianney parish, but that’s a bit far for you. I have found all but a very few parishes in Houston to be solid-- so I guess you found one that isn’t.

Holy Rosary on Milam is awesome-- run by Dominican fathers-- I would go there sometimes depending on my schedule. They do the new order mass in Latin at one of the masses too and Holy Communion is done kneeling at the altar rail.

Annunciation over by Minute Maid park on Texas Avenue is also extremely orthodox, they also have the indult Tridentine Mass there at one mass. Msgr. Golasinski and his parish are very involved in pro-life work.

Also, Fr. Troy at Sacred Heart parish/co-cathedral is solid. He was at my old parish when I first moved to Houston.

St. Theresa by Memorial Park is great, and orthodox, and they have a school.

St. Vincent De Paul just outside the medical center is also solid and has a school.

I could name several others that I have personal experience with, but they are farther out in various directions.
 
Annunciation accross the street from Minute Maid Park is beautiful and very orthodox.

Holy Rosary on the south end of downtown is very orthodox.

Catholic Charismatic Center at I-45 & Cullen - priest there are very orthodox as for as teachings are concerned ( Companions of the Cross ), however be aware as the name indicates, they have a very charismatic Mass, not to everyone’s liking.

When I lived in Houston I liked going to all three.
 
My goddaughter is marrying at Sacred Heart. When in town, it’s where we usually go. It doesn’t have a school that I’ve seen, but it has a REALLY BIG rel. ed. program. It does a lot of young adult ministry.

Our Lady of Waslingham is beautiful and reverent. But I am a big fan of the Anglican Use Liturgy.
 
St. Theresa’s in Sugar Land is pretty orthodox. They have a website where you can listen to homilies from the pastor there, affectionately known as “Fr. Bart”. Lots of young couples there with kids. Very friendly parish, in my experience.

I’ve been to Our Lady of Walsingham a couple of times. They are pretty orthodox too, and they have the ABSOLUTE BEST CHOIR I have ever heard outside of a major cathedral in my entire life. In fact, I’d say every Catholic Houstonian should experience mass there at least once. Anglican Use liturgy is pretty cool already, but with that choir…oh boy… it’ll give you shivers–the good kind, of course!
