Holy Rosary Church1913MidtownHarrisThe parish was established in 1913. In 1933, it constructed a parish hall. Pastor Joseph Konkel described that parish hall as the city's "only major construction project" due to the effects of the Great Depression on the city's economy.[52] Post-1970s suburbanization had resulted in a decline in parish membership. Circa 1994 the church bought 7000square feet, which it used for educational programs, in an office complex. Parish membership increased due to gentrification of Midtown post-1994. By 2004 a 15000square feet expansion was under way. In 2004 about 25% of the congregation was ethnic Vietnamese, and there are two masses per week in the Vietnamese language. Therefore it is one of five Vietnamese Catholic churches in the Houston area.
