Kathedralbasilika St. Marien (Galveston)

Die Kathedralbasilika St. Marien (englisch St. Mary Cathedral Basilica) ist eine römisch-katholische Kirche in der Hafenstadt Galveston im US-amerikanischen Bundesstaat Texas. Die Marienkirche ist die Kathedrale des Erzbistums Galveston-Houston und trägt den Titel einer Basilica minor. Die neugotische Kirche von 1848 ist als Kulturdenkmal im National Register of Historic Places und als Texas Historic Landmark geführt. Geschichte Der Pfarrer John Odin CM kam 1841 in die katholische Gemeinde Galveston. Dort sammelte er Geld für den Bau einer Holzrahmenkirche mit einer Länge von 6,7 Metern. Am 6. Februar 1842, einen Monat vor seiner Weihe zum Bischof als Apostolischer Vikar von Texas, weihte Odin das fertige Bauwerk der Heiligen Jungfrau Maria. Das kleine, rechteckige Gebäude wurde mit dreißig Bänken und einer Sakristei ausgestattet und diente als Kathedrale. Für den Bau einer größeren und dauerhaften Kirche kaufte Bischof Odin 500.000 Ziegelsteine aus Belgien, die als Ballast nach Galveston verschifft wurden. Die Grundsteinlegung fand am Sonntag, dem 14. März 1847 statt. Am 4. Mai 1847 erhob Papst Pius IX. das Apostolische Vikariat Texas zur Diözese Galveston und ernannte Odin zum ersten Bischof. Am 26. November 1848 wurde die Kathedrale geweiht. Die Kathedrale ist eines der wenigen Gebäude in Galveston, die den verheerenden Galveston-Hurrikan im Jahr 1900 mit nur geringen Schäden überstanden haben. Aufgrund des enormen Wachstums der Stadt Houston erhielt das Bistum 1959 die neue Bezeichnung Galveston-Houston und eine Konkathedrale in Houston. Die Marienkathedrale wurde 1968 zum historischen Wahrzeichen des Staates Texas und 1973 zum nationalen historischen Wahrzeichen ernannt. 1979 verlieh Papst Johannes Paul II. der St.-Marien-Kathedrale wegen ihrer historischen Bedeutung den Status einer Basilica minor. Nach dem Hurrikan Ike 2008 konnten die Restaurierungen erst nach sechs Jahren mit der Wiedereröffnung abgeschlossen werden. Sie wurde in dieser Zeit Teil der Pfarrei Heilige Familie. Architektur Die Kathedrale wurde durch die Architekten Theodore Eugene Giraud und später Nicholas J. Clayton im neugotischen Stil gebaut. Die dreischiffige Basilika bietet auf einem kreuzförmigen Grundriss mit einer Länge von 40 Metern und einer Breite von bis zu 23 Metern Platz für über 400 Besucher. Ihre drei Kirchtürme über dem Eingang und der Apsis ragen bis zu 24 Meter hoch. Weblinks Internetseite der Pfarrgemeinde Holy Family (englisch) Einzelnachweise
Catedral basílica de Santa María (Galveston)

La Catedral Basílica de Santa María​ (en inglés: St Mary's Cathedral Basilica) es un lugar de culto católico situado en Galveston, Texas, al sur de Estados Unidos. Es la catedral principal de la arquidiócesis de Galveston- Houston y la iglesia madre de la Iglesia Católica en Texas, así como una iglesia basílica. Junto con la Co- Catedral del Sagrado Corazón en Houston, Santa María sirve a más de 1,5 millones de católicos que viven en la arquidiócesis. En 1840, el reverendo John Timon, el recién nombrado Prefecto Apostólico de Texas, llamó al sacerdote vicentino Rev. John Odin, CM, para ser el residente Vice - Prefecto de Texas. El Padre Odin se embarcó desde Nueva Orleans en una goleta rumbo a la costa de Texas, en Galveston llegando a principios de 1841. Allí encontró una comunidad de católicos deseosos de construir una iglesia para su pequeña congregación. El 26 de noviembre de 1848, la Catedral estaba lista para la dedicación. Una vez más el padre John Timon fue elegido como el orador principal a causa de su estrecha asociación con ella, y su trabajo pionero en la diócesis. La Basílica Catedral se caracteriza por ser uno de los pocos edificios en Galveston que sobrevivieron al devastador huracán de Galveston de 1900 con sólo daños mínimos.

Kathedrale Basiliek Sint-Maria

De Kathedrale Basiliek Sint-Maria (St. Mary Cathedral Basilica) is een rooms-katholiek bedehuis gelegen in de Amerikaanse plaats Galveston, Texas. Het is de hoofdkathedraal van het aartsbisdom Galveston-Houston, dat meer dan één miljoen katholieken telt. Cokathedraal van het bisdom is de Heilig Hartkerk (Co-cathedral Sacred Heart) te Houston. Voorgeschiedenis Vanuit New Orleans meerde in 1841 een schoener met daarop de Franse missionaris Jean-Marie Odin in Galveston aan de Texaanse kust aan. Daar trof de priester een kleine katholieke gemeenschap aan, die stond te popelen om een kerk te bouwen voor de congregatie. In de maanden die volgden wist de priester voldoende geld te verzamelen voor de bouw van een houten kerk. Hierbij werd hij bijgestaan door een aantal prominente inwoners, waaronder kolonel Menard, die wordt herinnerd een van de grondleggers van de stad Galveston. Op 6 februari, één maand voor zijn consecratie als bisschop, wijdde Odin het voltooide gebouw aan de Heilige Maagd Maria. Het kleine, rechthoekige gebouw mat 6,7 meter. Er werd een kleine sacristie toegevoegd en hij schafte dertig banken aan voor het gemak van zijn parochianen. Als bisschoppelijke residentie kocht de priester een vijf kamers tellend huisje. Bouwgeschiedenis In 1845 kocht Odin 500.000 bakstenen in België, die hij wilde gebruiken voor de bouw van zijn droom: een groter permanent kerkgebouw. Het houten kerkgebouw werd verplaatst naar elders en er werd begonnen aan de bouw van een nieuwe Mariakerk. Het leggen van de eerste steen vond plaats op zondag 14 maart 1847. Even later, op 4 mei, stemde paus Pius IX in met de oprichting van het bisdom Galveston en benoemde pastoor Odin tot eerste bisschop van het nieuwe bisdom. De kathedraal werd op 26 november 1848 voltooid. Geschiedenis De kathedraal overleefde als een van de weinige gebouwen de alles verwoestende Galvestonorkaan in 1900 met slechts minimale schade. De stormachtige groei van Houston leidde in 1959 tot het verlenen van de status cocathedraal aan Houston's Heilig Hartkerk. Het veranderde evenwel niets aan de status van Galveston als bisschopsstad, noch aan de hoedanigheid van de Sint-Mariakathedraal: de Mariakathedraal is en blijft als eerste kathedraal de moederkerk voor alle katholieke bisdommen van Texas. In 1968 werd de kerk als historisch monument van Texas erkend, in 1973 volgde de registratie van de kathedraal als National Historic Landmark. Paus Johannes Paulus II verleende de Mariakathedraal in 1979 de status van basilica minor, waarmee de paus het belang van de kathedraal voor de gemeenschap en de staat Texas alsmede de historische invloed van het katholicisme op de staat Texas onderstreepte.

St. Olaf Kirke

St. Olaf Kirke, commonly referred to as The Rock Church, is a small Lutheran church located outside of Cranfills Gap, Texas, United States, in an unincorporated rural community known as Norse in Bosque County, Texas. The Church is affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Background St. Olaf Kirke is situated on a rise overlooking Meridian Creek Valley, four miles east of Cranfills Gap. The church was constructed in 1884 on land purchased for $25. Designed and built in 1886 by Andrew Mickelson, St. Olaf Kirke served a community of Norwegian settlers who farmed on area lands. With the help of Mickelson's brothers, Christian and Ole, as well as many local farmers, limestone was quarried from the surrounding hills to build the church. Originally, the church's floor consisted of little more than dirt and the pews were constructed of planks laid upon wooden kegs. While the church originally functioned as an extension of the Our Savior's Lutheran Church congregation located just six miles east, the growth of the community resulted in St. Olaf Kirke becoming an independent congregation in 1902. Norwegian was the primary language used during church services, although some English services were held as well. The church continued to be used for regular Sunday church services until 1917 when St. Olaf Lutheran Church was built in Cranfills Gap. Recent history Today, St. Olaf Kirke serves as a historical landmark with special significance for the descendants of the Norwegian settlers of the area. Special events, such as weddings and funerals, continue to be held in the church. The church was designated a historical landmark by the Texas Historical Commission in 1974 and was entered into the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. Due to the community's strong ties to its original Norwegian heritage, this area was visited King Olav V of Norway on October 10, 1982. The King came to commemorate the birth of Cleng Peerson who is buried in the Norse Cemetery. At that time the King also visited St. Olaf Kirke which is located nearby.

St. Pius X High School (SPX) is a private, co-educational Roman Catholic college-preparatory high school in Houston, Texas. It was founded in 1956 by the Dominican Sisters of Houston and is rooted in the Dominican charism of Veritas (“Truth”). In 2023, canonical sponsorship transferred to Dominican Veritas Ministries, a pontifical public juridic person established to sustain Dominican secondary schools in the United States. SPX is accredited by the Texas Catholic Conference of Bishops Education Department and Cognia (SACS CASI), and it is a member of the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS).
