Frequently Asked Questions
How many Greek Orthodox churches are in Texas?
Texas has 17 Greek Orthodox churches, with its earliest Orthodox roots tracing back to the port city of Galveston.
Which Greek Orthodox Metropolis oversees churches in Texas?
Texas's Greek Orthodox parishes fall under the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Denver, alongside Oklahoma, Colorado, and other states across the Rocky Mountain and Plains region.
What is the oldest Greek Orthodox church in Houston?
Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral traces back to 1917, when Houston's Greek community organized its first church on Walker Street. The congregation moved to its current Yoakum Boulevard location in 1952 and remains one of the largest Greek Orthodox communities in the nation.
Is Texas home to one of the earliest Orthodox churches in America?
Yes. Saints Constantine and Helen in Galveston was founded by Greek immigrants in 1862, making it one of the earliest Orthodox Christian congregations established in the United States. The parish later became multiethnic and eventually passed into Serbian Orthodox jurisdiction.
Why was Galveston significant to early Orthodox Christianity in Texas?
As Texas's largest and most cosmopolitan city before 1900, Galveston attracted Serbian, Russian, Greek, Bulgarian, and Lebanese Orthodox immigrants, who together supported one of the country's earliest multi-ethnic Orthodox parishes decades before Houston had its own Greek Orthodox church.
