Work began earlier this year at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church, 6800 Buffalo Speedway Houston, to construct a new prayer chapel. The Our Lady of Lourdes Chapel will seat 200 people and will be able to host daily masses, weddings and funerals, with an expected completion next spring. The church is also planning to replace two of its aging school buildings with a new facility breaking ground in 2020, funded by a $10.8 million capital campaign that is underway. The school has 500 students from Pre-K to 8th grade and celebrated its 75th anniversary this past school year. 713-667-9111.
