St Peter Prince of The Apostles Catholic Church — Local services in Alamo Heights

Located in a lovely neighborhood just off a busy avenue. It's a good looking church from outside with limited parking (mostly street parking). In the main entrance, the baptismal font is open/full . The first thing that struck me when I walked in was the organ pipes where the altar is (or should be). No Monstrance or Tabernacle in sight, and the crucifix blends into the pipes. I have mixed feelings about this. There are very nice stained glass windows. Turns out the Tabernacle is in a small chapel behind the organ pipes, entrance to the right. Sounds travel well, people walking about and talking loud made it seem irreverent (not talking about children, but adults). Not really a fan of the building, unlike the beautiful St Joseph's downtown or Our Lady of Sorrows across the highway.

What was impressive, is how active this Parish is, with 23 committees, KOC, men's ACTS, school, etc. I haven't seen a church so full since before COVID. People of every age, and everyone was so nice. Fr Jorge & Deacon's voices were clear all the way to the back, and Fr Jorge is a good orator. A lot of singing and music (not really a fan of every prayer being sung). I wish other Parishes were as active and their Shepherds as interested in...

Oh my Goodness! This is a truly a well hidden treasure of a Church!

One to be adored!

The beautiful stained glass depictions of the Bible glowing with or without the sun ☀️, light!

The Baptism area!

I can go on and on and still not do this beautiful , Church justice!

My eyes 👀 have been captured with the beauty of this Church, along with my heart ❤️, let alone the faith I have in God, Jesus , Mother Mary...

I love the social workers and volunteers at this church. They are so sweet and truly interested in their clients. When revisiting they remember you and it's like you've formed relationships that make you want to keep going back. This church is part of the St. Vincent de Paul social services. They provide food, hygiene products, and bus passes. They are open Mon. Wed. & Fri....
