We were just there a couple of weeks ago visiting family. The church is beautiful, the mass was fairly “traditional” except for the clapping at the end of Mass and the extraordinary minister blessing our children at Communion. This parish was definitely a breath of fresh air after having visited several in Houston – most we’ve been to either the “drum and bugle” corps or kumbaya Masses. It’s kind of weird how you get really good homilies at those churches and yet be bothered by the glaring Eucharistic abuses (glass vessels, holding hands during the Our Father…, etc. and so on). We’ll definitely go back to St. Theresa’s next time we’re in Houston

Duncan Stroik, defender of the faith. No modern man has done more to counter decades of architectural abuse.
Very nice! Now just get an altar rail back in there and we’re about set! 😉
Agreed. Duncan Stroik has his head screwed on straight when it comes to Catholic architecture. We’re fortunate to have him around!!
