A reader asks:

I have a colleague who works in our Houston, TX office. She is protestant but is forming a genuine bond with the Catholic faith. She has been searching for a church and I suggested to her a Catholic one. The problem is, I do not know of a solidly catholic church down there. Would any of your readers have a suggestion?

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

By the way, prayers for the good people of Houston and everybody else in Rita's way. Prayers especially for Bill Cork, who is currently fleeing to high ground. God of Mercy, protect those in harm's way and keep their property safe from destruction, through Christ our Lord, who rebuked the winds and they obey him.

Blessed Virgin Mary, pray for those who have most need of your prayers.
