St. Luke The Evangelist

I have not actually attended this church, however, this summer (July 1^st) they are welcoming a new head Priest, Father Douglas Guthrie. Fr. Guthrie is a native Houstonian, with an amazing journey. He was Parochial Vicar at St. Michael’s Church on Sage in Houston for these past 3 years; where he has been greatly loved and embraced. It is with a very heavy heart that we send Fr. Guthrie on this next glorious chapter, to St. Luke The Evangelist. He is one of the most peaceful and wise men you will ever have the joy of knowing, so enjoy!

I attended this church for a little bit just to listen to God. Most people will tell you have to be Catholic to attend a Catholic church, but that’s not true.
Obviously this is a huge Catholicism church they pray 3 times, sing hymns, and when you are extremely late for service wait in the lobby until service is done.
The youth groups they have aren’t good; mean, and rude people are there and question you every time are you Catholic? Are you Catholic? Are you Catholic? If you say no, I believe in God not religion — they immediately get mad at you. Like WTF?!! So much for being Godly people.

It’s not the nicest church I’ve ever visited, but certainly among the best. You won’t find an amazing classical church with all of the fancy bells and whistles, just a simple Southern community Catholic church with a decent mass and very good execution. Not to mention there is ample parking (a lifesaver for bad traffic), diverse crowd, and an excellent choir to boot.
The aisles are spacious for the: ahem: wider folks and the cushy seats /​pew make this a comfortable place to sit and kneel. Most wouldn’t believe what a huge difference this makes but it just does. Crowd management is easy, most people are able to seat themselves but there are standby ushers in case the crowds become a little more congested.
I attended a bilingual Spanish /​English mass. Everything was conducted in both languages and executed almost perfectly. The people coming to worship were from all backgrounds, making this one of the most diverse mass settings I’ve attended in awhile. It also helps the choir did an amazing job of belting out key songs in both languages. The priest did a good job of keeping everyone on track and made the session fun for everyone. Most definitely worth another repeat when I’m back in Houston.
Note: There isn’t really a designated crying room for the babies, just a lobby like area that most people have to come through in order to get into the church.
