Is that the scent of incense? It seems to be emanating from the Dominican Fathers Church. This beautiful church has been a cornerstone of faith in Houston since 1913. It was founded by the Dominican Friars at the invitation of Bishop Nicholas A. Gallagher. Their mission was to serve the spiritual needs of 125 Catholic families residing in Houston’s south side. Back then, Houston was a much smaller city with a population of just 82,000. The church’s history is interwoven with that of Holy Rosary Catholic Church. The Dominican Fathers, working from Holy Rosary, provided spiritual guidance throughout Houston and nurtured the faith of generations. Interestingly, Holy Rosary itself was subdivided several times to establish new parishes. One such parish was St. Vincent de Paul, founded in 1940. As you stand before the Dominican Fathers Church, take a moment to appreciate its legacy of service and faith that continues to touch the lives of many in Houston.
