Welcome to Phase III, the building of our Church!
As Fr. Dat announced recently, these are very exciting times for our parish. We have received permission to engage an architect for conceptual design and estimate for our permanent church building in parallel to conducting a feasibility study to better determine how much we can afford. The Building Team has been commissioned to begin the work of architect selection.
The team members are Fr. Dat Hoang, Deacon Randy Graham, Karla Pitre, John Gillespie, Dave Moss, & Jeff Polzer.
An email has been set up where you can submit questions and suggestions:

The team is looking at various possibilities, but our mission is to serve our community with a large enough church that will support the growth expected over the next 20 years, which is presently the forecasted end of growth period for our area. A church with a seating capacity that will comfortably hold our congregation while at the same time avoid back-to-back masses is being considered. While many factors go into determining the seating capacity of the church, we anticipate it will be over 1700 seats, minimum, meaning it will be one of the largest in the Archdiocese.

The church will be a cruciform design, and will be of such design that will remain timeless. Our vision is for a strong foundation in timeless traditional latin church architecture while engendering great awe and beauty combined with warmth and welcome on the inside. We envision a church which will be a beacon of hope to the entire Fulshear/Katy area, drawing many to experience God’s Divine Mercy.

The Phase 3 scope includes expanding our parking capabilities to match the expected parking needs of a larger church, along with other simultaneous activities outside of weekend masses. These additional areas are presently under review, and will be included with the Phase 3 feasibility study

The Phase 3 Building Team is currently working to identify an architect that is suitable for a church of this style and size. Once the architect has been identified, a conceptual design will be developed, with one outcome of that study being a cost estimate. In parallel, the parish is conducting a funding feasibility assessment to determine our overall capability to fund such a project. These will be reviewed and harmonized as best possible and then reviewed with the Archdiocese as we will be requesting a loan from them. A final decision on whether or not we are ready and able to move forward is expected around the end of the summer.
