Our parish has been a part of the life of the Czech community in Needville, Texas since 1912.  We are also a part of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, Texas.

St. Michael The Archangel & Sts. Cyril & Methodius are unique parishes with many opportunities to connect with others. Please come visit us at St. Michael's or Sts. Cyril & Methodius, where you can worship God, learn more about the riches of our Catholic faith, and enjoy many fun social activities.

I would love for you to stop by and introduce yourself to me or any of our staff.  We are here after Mass every weekend, and in the parish office during the week, or you can join us at one of our scheduled events.

If you are looking for God, come join us on the journey...

MAY 19, 2021

By Daniel Cardinal DiNardo, Archbishop of Galveston-Houston

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

At the outset of the coronavirus pandemic I modified the celebration of the Sacred Liturgy and non-liturgical parish gatherings within the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston in order to prevent these gatherings from becoming sources of community spread for the virus.  These modifications were aimed at the common good of all who live within our communities. 

The local pandemic situation is greatly improved.  Therefore, I have amended our pandemic protocols.  Beginning with the celebration of the Vigil Mass of Pentecost on the evening of Saturday, May 22, 2021 social distancing no longer needs to be maintained during liturgical celebrations.  Parish churches and chapels may be filled to 100% of the building’s occupancy load.  Masks will not be required, but they are encouraged. 

Also effective on the evening of May 22, 2021, the temporary suspension of receiving Holy Communion on the tongue is removed.  Holy Communion may be received on the tongue, or in the hand, at the communicant’s discretion.  The temporary suspension of receiving Holy Communion under the appearance of wine from a common chalice remains in effect until further notice.

For the time being, the general dispensation from the Sunday obligation remains in effect for all Catholics within the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston.

With assurances of my prayers, and commending this local Church to the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, I am

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Daniel Cardinal DiNardo
Archbishop of Galveston-Houston
