Fr. Felix made these by hand- and every material was chosen with purpose.

Four one-of-a-kind rosaries are up for silent auction this Saturday at the St. Joseph Altar. Volcanic rock and semi-precious jade beads, a "Tree of Life" crucifix drawn from the Dogwood Legend and the Sunday Liturgy of the Hours, medals honoring St. Michael, Our Lady of Guadalupe, Our Lady Untier of Knots, and the Divine Mercy. Two for the men, two for the ladies. Each comes with a rosary pouch and a devotional prayer card.

All proceeds support the Marian Daughters scholarship program and the upkeep of our beloved parish.

Today, the Church celebrates the Solemnity of St. Joseph — Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary, foster-father of the Son of God, and Patron of the Universal Church.

As you pray today, ask for his intercession. For your family. For the Church. For the grace to do what needs to be done without needing the credit.

Happy feast day

Ave Maria! On March 25, we celebrate the patronal feast of our parish—the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord.

We warmly invite you to join us for an evening of sacred music, solemn liturgy, and thanksgiving as we honor Our Lady and give thanks for the gift of our parish church.

This year, we also mark a remarkable milestone: our beloved Pilcher Opus 1206 pipe organ celebrates 102 years and will be rededicated.

Our organ remains unaltered. It sounds today as it did when newly installed in 1924, which allows worshipers an opportunity to appreciate this historical sound in its undiminished beauty, a living witness to the continuity of worship and beauty in the heart of downtown Houston.

We thank all our donors & volunteers who supported this project.

🎵Schedule for the Evening
- 6:30 PM – Blessing and Rededication of the Pipe Organ
- 6:45 PM – Organ Preludes performed by Catherine Schaefer
- 7:00 PM – Latin Mass
- Reception in the Foley House following Mass

On this feast day, the Church grants a plenary indulgence to the faithful who devoutly visit their parochial church. To obtain the indulgence, one must recite an Our Father and the Creed during the visit, together with the usual conditions: sacramental confession, reception of Holy Communion, prayer for the intentions of the Supreme Pontiff, and complete detachment from sin.

We encourage all parishioners and friends of Annunciation to take part in this solemn celebration of our patroness and to join us in giving thanks for the beauty and sacred heritage entrusted to our care.

Our Lady & St. Gabriel – Pray for Us! 💙
