The Endurance of Faith

We give thanks to God whose power is revealed in nature, and whose providence is revealed in history.

Ted will be guiding the next historical tour of St. Mary Cathedral on Saturday, November 17, at 1 PM. The group will meet on the front steps of the cathedral immediately following the 12 noon Mass. For those not familiar with St. Mary, the cathedral is located in Austin, Texas, at 203 East 10th Street, the corner of Brazos and East 10th.

During this tour, Ted will discuss topics as diverse as the restoration of the Catholic Church in Texas following the Texas Revolution, the design of the cathedral by Texas’ first trained architect, Nicholas Clayton, and the history of the stained glass windows that adorn the church. Join us at St. Mary Cathedral on November 17, and experience for yourself the endurance of faith.

Ted will also be talking about interpreting churches and sacred spaces at the Real Places 2019 conference in Austin. The conference is sponsored by the Texas Historical Commission and extends from January 16-18. Ted will be speaking on Thursday, January 17, from 11:15 am to 12:30 pm. His talk is titled “Open the Door – Interpreting Historic Churches and Sacred Spaces.” We hope to see you at either or both of these events!
