December 4, 2023
Season 01, Episode 11
As the fifth-largest diocese in the United States, it can be hard to imagine what the Catholic Church in Galveston-Houston looked like hundreds of years ago. But understanding our history can allow us to see how far we've come, challenge us in our own faith journeys, and remind us to be thankful for those who helped to establish the Church in Texas.
Lisa May, director of the Archives Office, joins us to share the history of our diocese from the early Spanish missionaries in the 1600s until the founding of the Diocese of Galveston in 1847 and our first bishop, The Right Reverend Jean Marie Odin.
