Cathedral of Our Lady of Walsingham (Houston)

The Cathedral of Our Lady of Walsingham in Houston, Texas, is a Catholic church that serves as the cathedral of the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter. The parish was originally founded in 1984, by clergy who had previously ministered in the Episcopal Church, as a parish under the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Galveston–Houston. The parish operated in various locations before moving in 1992 to its current site, where the present church was completed in 2003. Upon the establishment of the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter the church was transferred from the diocese to – and became the principal parish of – the ordinariate; it now serves as the ordinariate's cathedral. The church features a distinctive architecture style reminiscent of Neo-Gothic style churches of an Anglican heritage and is the first parish in the United States dedicated to Our Lady of Walsingham. The Order of Mass is celebrated according to Divine Worship: The Missal.
