Im not catholic but went with familyIt is a beautiful church but if your looking for one of those upbeat ones this is probably not for you
The church is beautiful! Masses are reverent with beautiful music! Very family friendly parish!
They didnt even allow me in i dont know why when i was just trying to get some holy water and yet they had the doors closed when i was there still on time to even speak to the fathet and yet i went to anither church where it was open and they took good care of me when i was there at saint joseph church to this one i wouldnt recomend it to no one of my family or friends bad service in deed
Beautiful church, recently renovated with excellent and timely teaching.
I really like this chuch. Father Felix is the best!
Traditional Latin Mass in a beautiful, ornate setting.
Very welcoming parish! Love the TLM Mass and their use of communion rails. No liturgical abuses occur here. Beautiful place. Wish they would use their organ more.
This church is beautiful....one of the most beautiful churches I have ever been in! It was a great location for a friends wedding.
We love this church. We just had our Nuptial Mass here on 1/18/2020, and it was absolutely beautiful.
Beautiful Catholic church from the 1800s. Stained glass windows were exceptional! Part of the Mass in Latin and the communion rails are used for kneeling to receive the Body and Christ! Great holy experience!
Old historical, beautiful, peaceful, catholic church with 4 weekly Masses in Latin and 4 Masses in English.
Every time Ive been the confession is never 15 minutes, its always cut short. Beautiful church building, but the services are not for me.
If youre looking for an old Catholic church in Houston with an amazing solemn atmosphere, youve come to the right place. Very beautiful and the oldest Catholic church in Houston. Traditional masses with a TLM at 8 on Sundays and on other days occasionally too. Parking is okay, could be better, but there are two reserved lots for church parking on Sunday, the school parking and the church lot behind the church.
I parked in front CV of this church by mistake. I cannot say anything good or bad about them. I hope everything they are doing is pleasing to The Living God
Not a good location to have your special mass ...a lot of money is paid for the location but photographers are unable to use flash or any type of lighting even though there is hardly any light... not worth the high cost if you will not end up with a good memory keep sake of your special day... so sad
Very positive place to relax your mind . I feel very happy at this place also the infrastructure was eye catching. Nice worship place
The mass is performed in the old Roman-Catholic rite... english and latin languages... and for the Eucharist everybody is aligned on their knees to receive the Bodie of Christ... I Love It...!!!
It is a clear that the pastor here has a love for God and a true concern for the spiritual wellbeing of his flock. Beautiful traditional liturgy.
Well preserved historic architecture. Absolutely worth the visit.
Lovely church. Good acoustics.
Beautiful church, fitting and beautiful liturgy. Where there is a beautiful Extrodinary form Mass there is usually a beautifully celebrated ordinary form Mass as well- this is certainly true at Annunciation.
Beautiful old church with great history!!
Beautiful church and an amazing extraordinary mass for christmas day
Amazing Church!
Very reverent and beautiful Mass and historical church
Beautiful church and low Latin mass. Thank u
Houstons oldest church...and gorgeous with reverent liturgies and strong preaching by Fr. Paul Felix.
Beautiful stained glass, and Stations of the Cross
This is a place worthy of just visiting. The art inside is amazing!
Beautiful Mass! Tridintine Latin Mass is available as well as novus ordo in Latin or English. But no matter which Mass you go to, you will encounter truly traditional, beautiful, sacred liturgy and a beautiful church that anchors your worship. Highly recommend
Beautiful parish and Fr. Felix is an amazing pastor. Very reverent liturgy, especially during the Tridentine Mass (Extraordinary Form).
Most beautiful church downtown.
Beautiful church right downtown Houston! Attended 6:30 AM Mass on a Friday before a conference I was attending in another part of town.
Beautiful service and church.
Annunciation is the oldest church in Houston. Its classically beautiful inside and out.
Annunciation has the TLM (Extraordinary Form) Done well.
I consider Annunciation the best orthodox Catholic church in Houston.They still have the Tridentine and Latin Mass .
The most beautiful church. A must see!
Beautiful church, very historic and worth the visit.
My family has been coming to Annunciation for 3 generations as native Houstonians. At one time my older siblings attended Annunciation school and Incarnate word..I myself attended Queen of peace in the early 60s..I love the Latin Mass with Monsignor Delatorre,Msgr Golazynski, and Father Felix.
Helpful well behaved staffs. Rooms are nice.
The church is beautiful. But there is a woman in charge of the ceremony who is the most unChristian, rude, and self-righteous person I have encountered. Just be warned if you get married here that she will be awful to you, your wedding party, and your guests.
No AC at all!!! Went to a wedding they pay over 2,000 for use the church and the only thing they said is fix just wait
The building is awesome, awesome, awesome. Great preaching, too !
Fr. Felix is great! Did you know they have a Holy Hour for men at 5:30am on the second Wednesday of the month? Its stupid early but thats what makes it worth doing. And the Vespers service is such a beautiful worship experience.
Beautiful church! I was in town visiting and walked over from the Sam Houston Hotel. I wish I would have been around to attend the Extraordinary Form Mass but I was glad to find out that they use the altar rails for the Ordinary Form, as well.
Beautiful setting and service. Latin Mass with family and friends.
Beautiful Catholic Church
I cant speak as a regular attendee, but as a tourist, this church is breathtaking and historic. Must see for any visiting Catholic. Far warning, they are a very traditional church so they have kneeled and railings for communion.
Very reverent parish. Ad Orientem service with a high altar.
The best Catholic Church in Houston. They teach the AUTHENTIC Catholic Faith! They use communion rails and are very traditional.
A very beautiful church in the downtown area of Houston
Reverent Priest teaching the morals of the Catholic Church. Watered down Catholicism can be found in most parishes all around the world. Annunciation offers the true faith. Too few priests take their role as shepherd to their flock seriously anymore.
Gorgeous church
The most beautiful Catholic church in Houston!
Its very traditional church and they have a beautiful mass service especially during daily mass at 12:10
I finally found a church in Houston that values being liturgically conservative.
Worthy of your time. Wonderful priests speaking from the heart of love. Decide for yourself! Come and see.
Love this church!
This is an excellent example of a great church which has served houston for 146 years. I serve as Acolyte at the Cocathedral of the sacred heart, within the archdiocese. I genuinely love to visit this church parish. Its majestic in every aspect.
Blessed Catholic church
Real Catholicism. Sounds like Ace q fails to realize Catholicism, in its essence, is conservative. There is no such thing as liberal Catholic. Either you are a Catholic or a heretic.
Hands down, the most beautiful Church in all of Houston.
It was my pleasure to find in the USA so much liturgical parish - with boys ministrants, Body and Blood Communion and without ladies acolytes.
A good neighbor
Well it looks good, talks good, lots of appointments interior wise, nice cathedralesque building...but....NO ORGAN. The pitiful thing that serves as an organ is a wreck and nothing worth playing or fixing. There is a guy in town that offered them in public (on one of the city search webs) 2 magnificent organs with no takers...one was pretty much free and the other a steal of a price. Well what does that tell you about this church that they would turn down a once in a lifetime gift like that. One wonders???It could mean that no one has ever heard a real organ in the hands of a real organist in a building like that. Talk about holy and majestic and ambiance, and music...unless one has experienced a real organ in a building like that...you dont know what you are missing. So apparently the membership doesnt know what they are missing! If they had something like one of these organs, the church would double its membership and a lot of activity would surround this church as a result.As it is, it is sort of like a monks cell..just for contemplation.. which is ok, but what a waste of space and the lack of musical arts that would open the doors wider than they have ever been. This is proclaiming the Gospel to the community by the Mass and by the great musical heritage of the Catholic church and western civilization. Is Houston so lacking in energy that there is no one that would jump on this gift? Guess not.You can build baseball and football fields but just can get up enough drive to make Annunciation into what it should be. Sad, Sad, Sad.
Great place to go to mass
I love rhe fact the the Holy of Holies us in the center as it should be. Our family loves the Trudentine Mass because it is full of reverence to our Lord instead of the people.
Old church downtown Houston
Beautiful Church! It is very obvious that Christ is the focus.
Best place to find God and peace
