St. Michael the Archangel 

& Sts. Cyril & Methodius   

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...

STATEMENT FROM THE ARCHDIOCESE OF GALVESTON-HOUSTON
MARCH 5, 2021
Earlier this week, Governor Abbott issued an executive order to be effective March 10, 2021, allowing all Texas businesses to reopen at 100%.  The order also ends the statewide mask mandate, but strongly encourages the wearing of face coverings when it is not feasible to maintain social distancing from another person not of the same household.  Private businesses, including churches, are allowed the discretion to determine whether face coverings will remain mandatory.
     Over the last few days, Archdiocesan officials have engaged in a series of consultations regarding the order, which included input from clergy and medical professionals.  Recognizing the needs of this local Church, in particular the need to protect the most vulnerable among us, we have determined that all of our current COVID-19 protocols will remain in place until further notice, including the requirement for face coverings at Mass and other liturgical celebrations.
     The Catholic Schools of the Archdiocese have implemented protocols that have proven effective in minimizing the spread of COVID-19 to its students, families, faculty and staff.  Since this spring 2021 semester will soon come to a close, these protocols will also remain in place through the end of this academic year.
     We are monitoring the increased level of vaccinations and the number of new COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in our area and remain hopeful these metrics will continue to trend favorably so that the virus will soon be contained.
 

Parishes have reopened; however, parishionersmust observe health guidelines set by the State of Texas when attending Mass.  Eventhough, the State of Texas and CDC have started relaxing some of these rules, Cardinal DiNardo has kept the following in place until further notice.
These include at least the following:
