St. Faustina Catholic Church, one of the fastest-growing parishes throughout the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, is adding a $43.35 million expansion to its current location, church representatives said.

About the project

Styled by Jackson & Ryan Architects, the new church building will increase seating capacity from 1,300 to 2,000, and the construction will also include a 49-seat perpetual adoration chapel, bell tower, plaza for community gathering and additional parking, according to a statement from St. Faustina Catholic Church.

Construction broke ground this past June and is expected to finish in the summer of 2027.

In their own words

The parish is home to thousands of families and offers an array of ministries, such as grief support, youth and family programs and counseling services, church representatives said.

The new church will be “a reverent dwelling place for God, a meeting point between heaven and earth, a Center of Divine Mercy and a refuge for wounded souls,” Father Dat Hoang said.
