People are coming back to church! This church is old and has quite a history. The entire building…read morewas raised after the 1900 storm. It's been restored and it looks really nice. I would change only the type of lighting used. It seems like it is LED but it should be a warmer color, as for the service it was excellent and the music was pretty and the people are nice. We enjoyed attending church here.

The diocese in Galveston has consolidated the parishes and the mass schedule has also been…read moreconsolidated. Sacred Heart no longer offers Saturday evening mass which is super sad for me. However, almost as pretty and just as friendly is St. Patrick Catholic Church a mile down Broadway. St. Patrick was pretty well demolished in 1900 by the Great Storm and rebuilt. Later it was raised 16 feet during the island wide grade raising. Now its survived Hurricane Ike. The priest said since the AC had broken at the start of Mass he would make his sermon really short. It was two sentences about loving your neighbor. Then he said, well I'm hot let's get this show on the road and everyone laughed while fanning themselves furiously with hymnals. How did anyone ever live in Galveston before AC? Wow.. HOT. Anyways, Mass isn't normally that short but the people of St. Patrick's sure have a good sense of humor. Second collection was for building maintenance, Father pointed out... including AC repair!.. I noticed everyone donated heavily hahahaha. Saturday Vigil 5:00 p.m. St. Patrick Church 7:00 p.m. Mary Star of the Sea Sunday Masses 7:30 a.m. Sacred Heart Church 8:00 a.m. Catholic Center at Crenshaw School-Bolivar 8:30 a.m. St. Patrick Church (Spanish) 9:00 a.m. Holy Rosary Church 10:30 a.m. St. Patrick Church 11:00 a.m. Sacred Heart Church 12:00 p.m. St. Patrick Church 1:30 p.m. St. Patrick Church (Spanish) Might I add... DiBella's Restaurant is very close by so we make 6:30 dinner reservations nad head straight from church to dinner. Take a walk on the seawall after dinner and then sleep in Sunday.

It has been about 30 years since I attended mass here. The church has been kept up. The stained…read moreglass windows are stunning. It is worth popping in just look at these windows and study all the symbolism they hold. Mass was full. The music was good and the lady singing was exuberant. The violin was a nice touch and the summer was good. People are nice. I'm definitely coming back here sooner than later next time I'm in the Galveston area there's just too much to look at for one visit.

One of the old beautiful Catholic Churches on the island this is a nice place to visit. It has a…read moredecent size parking lot along with street parking available. The interior contains lovely stained glass windows and holy statues throughout along with arched roofs all in white. There are several thick pillars which can obstruct your view of the altar but then that's how a lot of old churches are. Before you come to Mass be sure to check mass times because this church is one of 5 that form the Parish for Galveston island and Bolivar peninsula. I believe they only have 2 masses here on Sundays. The city of Galveston is fortunate to have 3 of these old churches within a 1 mile radius to attend. Take advantage of that and visit all of them.

This is a beautiful Catholic church located in Galveston. It carries the designation of being a…read moreCathedral Basilica as being part of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston. Currently the only weekend mass schedule that I am aware of is at noon on Sunday. The church has a small alcove when you enter. There are beautiful wooden columns supporting the roof along with wooden crossmembers up there too. With stained glass windows throughout the church, the more ornate ones are up near the altar. The confessional is near the entrance and is of a unique stand alone design. They don't make churches like this anymore. If you are visiting the island, I recommend coming here to visit or attend Mass.

The energy in the building was electric, the leaders had the best voices! The pastor was funny, relevant, and most importantly gave me something from the Bible that not only made sense to me, but was something I could use the next week. We have been going almost every single week and it has gotten better and better! If you are in Galveston either living here, or on vacation, THIS IS THE CHURCH FOR YOU!!!

So I was long boarding up and down the seawall on a Sunday morning around 9 o'clock AM , I guess…read moreGod led me to this church. People seem pretty nice. They're pretty welcoming. The church seems pretty cool and laid back. The preacher is not really a preacher. He's more of a teacher because even though he says the sermon will be on 2 king chapter 6, he didn't actually read the Bible, he just paraphrase in his own words with ( I guess ) what the chapter says..which is not really something a preacher should do that's why he's more of a teacher than a preacher IMO. And since he was paraphrasing in his own opinion about the chapter of the Bible, it was all a bunch of word salad about faith. Sounded wise but didn't really understand what he was saying. Of course the tithing giving financially was a big big deal. I don't tithe and dont get financially. It is not for new testament church. Well, overall, yeah, it's a pretty cool church. I'm glad God was with me while I'm skating, enjoying the boardwalk and ocean then pow, lead me to this church.. I'm glad I went. It's fun to experience different things and cultures as God leads.

A couple friends of mine suggested that I try attending the morning service here, and I decided to give it a shot. I felt a ton of love from the moment that I first stepped into the building. I was greeted with smiles and handshakes from several church members. It felt like a true community where you could find not only believers but friends as well. The sanctuary is big enough that you don't feel cramped but small enough to also feel warm and inviting. Pastor Tre never fails to deliver an impactful and timely sermon. He won't always tell you what you want to hear, but he will tell you what you need to hear. And it'll definitely be from the heart and filled with the Holy Spirit. The praise and worship team is awesome and ministers in a very organic and compelling way. Another plus is that many young adults attend service here. As a millennial, that's always a good sign for me because it means that young people feel safe and respected inside those walls. That's not something that a lot of churches can brag about. Although I go back home to Houston to attend church with my mother on most Sundays, I'm glad to know that I have a place to fellowship with Christians whenever I spend a Sunday in Galveston!
