Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart

Tourist attraction Catholic cathedral

👍👍 Spectacular cathedral. Sunday Mass was invigorating, inspiring and restorative. We attended 11am high mass on New Years day, led by the Cardinal. Such a treat as we are from out of town. Good to see they offer many opportunities for confession all week long. We need more churches like this! People often mention church, mass, beautiful, cathedral, Mass, nice,

    Called 2x just to ask about faith formation. I called back and she “stepped away.” She was already on break and she just got to work 30 minutes prior? Very reflective of their availability and welcome of others. Was just looking for general info. Needless to say, I didn’t get. This is why people stray from church.

    If you have small children and your kids can’t sit still in church, I truly recommend you find another church where they have a kid room. For a long time, I didn’t bring my son to church because I know that he might distract other people. He is only 4 and has mild autism overlap with ADHD, so it’s really hard to ask him to sit still. My son was running around in church even I asked him so many times not to do so. I decided to take him out side and stayed in the hall way. There was lady in charge for the church came to me and told me: “ can you please tell your son not to run around in church”. My response was “ yes ma’am “. I can see that she got irritated by my son running around and she doesn’t look friendly. Then we stayed in the hallway to finish the mass. Then my son touched the flag and moved the flag side to side. The lady in charge for the church came from nowhere and screamed at my son “ STOP STOP STOP “ really really loud . I was trying so hard to not say anything to her but I ended up saying this” ma’am I am so sorry for my son behavior but he is just a little kid. He got some mental issue. I am not sure if you have kids or grandkids, but you have no heart for children .”We ended up leave the mass early.

    Beautiful church! I was a visitor and wasn't used to the Houston heat. I walked there and felt like I had heat stroke. A nice man gave me a bottle of water, and the Mass was lovely!

    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.

    It was nice and different experience from the church we go on a weekly basis. This is the first time we where here and it was amazing. Its a nice and beautiful Cathedral right in downtown. A parishioner helped explain and answer questions as we walked through the church and the security guy was very kind and polite. Mass is beautifully done. Will come back again.

    This church holds a special place in my heart.. and I'm not just saying this because it's named after the, "Sacred Heart." I recommend you check it out if visiting or looking for a Parish home, and attend one of their events!!

    The church was packed with people there to witness the ordination of permanent deacons! The participation in singing and responses was off the scale! It was a very moving experience!

    Visited this church for the first time and was fortunate to have located it and attended Mass.

    The cathedral is beautiful. I've never been here before, and those I asked for help were nice. The organ playing was surreal. If you're in the area, stop by and visit. Very welcoming.

    Catholic church close by the metro rail and metro bus depot Parking lot is located across the street in front of church Very calm and peaceful place to pray or sit and contemplate when there's no mass going on

    As Catholic, Roman and Orthodox has great teachings to follow, doctrine and catechism. Catholism is a great place to intruct children to morality, values and humbleness. They have clean restrooms, great liturgical services

    Beautiful church. We've been to wonderful daily Masses here with good priests and homilies. Convenient parking right across the street.

    If we are around Downtown area, and on a Saturday, we always go to the co-cathedral. It's a very beautiful church and very peaceful.

  • 5/5 Michelle O. 3 years ago on Google
    Inspiring. Traditional and New. I love the architecture, the statuary, the tabernacle, the altar, the music and above all... The Mass! God bless our church leaders for keeping Communion available to us in this year of Covid.

    Beautiful cathedral! It was way bigger than expected. It seemed small from the outside but it is HUGE

    Before they had Mass at the end of the afternoon, in Spanish, now it is at 1 pm, the time when Latin families meet for lunch. They could rethink the schedule.
