St. Ann Catholic Parish

We are not Catholic but we in town for a baptism for my husband’s god daughters. It was beautiful and the church was just beautiful!

I’m not a catholic, but I look forward every year to the carnival they host for the community. This is far and away the best carnival I’ve ever been to and the food, oh my, the food! If you are in the area the first weekend in September every year, don’t miss this one! it’s amazing!

My parents were visiting from out of town, and wanted to go to church. We’re Catholic. I have no idea where a catholic church is here in Texas. I quickly used the Unilocal app to find this place.
My parents loved both the building and the service. When we got there, I saw a lot of old white people waddling to the church and thought «looks like we found the right place»…
The church has this rounded exterior, almost greek-​orthodox-​looking. But anyhow, the church itself is enormous. Inside, it’s designed in the cross-​style, meaning that there are three sections of seating facing the center where the pulpit is located. The sermon was long, over an hour (hour and 20 minutes?) but good. The priest was more casual than priests I’ve known and when he threw in a golf reference, my ears perked up. Giant church, tons of parishoners. After mass, we walked around and admired the architecture and paintings. Inside the dome, it’s painted like something from inside a Papa Gino’s. You don’t know what Papa Gino’s is. It’s a pizza joint from back home with gaudy paintings of «Italy» on the walls. Well, so my parents liked this painting — my mom even commented «That’s the first time I’ve ever seen Jesus SMILING». But they did really like it. In the back of the church is ANOTHER room — it’s a smaller church-​room (Whaddya call it?) for smaller masses or children’s masses. It was really pretty too. We also spoke to a woman who was part of the mass. She was super friendly and informative without being pushy about joining. Anyhow thumbs up from my parents so it must have been good!!!

this is a big church… I love how open it is and it’s so pretty inside!!!
I see myself making this one my regular church now… maybe :)

biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggggggggg church…
