Corpus Christi Cathedral — Attraction in Corpus Christi

My husand n I returned to the Catholic Church in 2004. We are blessed to be part of this vibrant, exciting family of families. Our gifts and talents are welcomed n we are at home. We are happily flourishing in our faith journey. We worship with folks drawn from all over the US n many countries to the Coastal Bend. Within its 12 counties the Diocese of Corpus Christi contains a variety of beautiful, historic worship n retreat centers. The colorful history of this missionary diocese in South Texas adds layers of meaning to each place because of the hardships n sacrifices of the people who built them. They placed highest value on honoring God n educating their children in the Catholic faith. During the Jubilee Year of Mercy it is possible to do a mini-pilgrimage by visiting four of them. Informative pamphlets created by Deacon Arnold are available at all churches of the Diocese. Join with us as we explore our heritage while increasing in our practice of Mercy. It is not the Lord's wish that any should perish! Let us become agents of Mercy n spread the Good News of Jesus Christ. May God continue to bless this Diocese, this joyfilled corner of the Body of Christ, so that Jesus may be known, loved n worshipped in spirit n in truth. w Jay Loretta Masterson n...

Many of those choirs I heard fall short compared to the outstanding Corpus Christi Cathedral choirs, cantors, professional talented organists, Directors and musicians. If you are visiting the area or live in Corpus or the surrounding communities make a point of attending one of the several masses the different choirs are singing at. You will truly be ministered to. You will think you traveled in time to experience the mass as celebrated by the voices of the great choirs singing the beautiful sacred music written by the famous composers...

Absolutely gorgeous cathedral! I love the Saturday priest and great seat availability for that mass.

We live in Houston but are choosing to have our son’s baptism here due to our love of the cathedral’s aesthetic beauty, amiability of its staff and most importantly — how strong the presence is of the Holy Spirit within.

This is by far the most comfortable and spiritually fulfilling place of worship in the area for our family. The iconostasis (alter area) is comprable to the great Orthodox cathedrals in Houston. Not so much in scale of grandeur, rather in simple elegance and the reverence...
