My goal this year is to find a home church. My friend invited to attend their worship service and…read morebible study. I attended the 9:30 am service and 11am bible study so this is what I've observed and experienced at those specific times. You might have a different experience from what I had at depending on the time you go! For starters, the worship building was beautiful! Walking around this campus was super overwhelming though. I got lost trying to find my friend here because it's HUGE. I got here about 10 minutes before the service started but did not have trouble finding a good seat. Worship was about an hour long; 15 minutes of singing and about 45 min of preaching. I really liked Ben Young's style of teaching; I truly felt like I was being taught rather than the propensity preaching that most megachurches present. Their bible study sessions was also great; I could be there all day listening to the lady teach. I really regret not bringing my bible and taking notes. Although this was a great church to attend, I personally don't think it is the right fit for me. Cons: Mega-Church Lack of young people Lack of diversity (in my opinion) Pros: Multiple worship/bible study times Lots of organizations/groups to be apart of Beautiful campus

We love this school and its teachers and staff. The school definitely emphasizes its Catholic identity, which is the primary reason why I would even consider sending my kids to a Catholic school. There are several award-winning teachers here and it shows. Quality education, family-like environment and the tuition is extremely reasonable for a private school. While they may not have the fanciest things and facilities, when I see my child's development and love for going to school, I feel reassured that I've made the right decision by sending him here. I've gotten involved with the parent community, which at first was a bit daunting but it's been a great experience getting to know them and I look forward to journeying together with them as our children all grow up here.

To be clear, the two stars are only for a handful of wonderful teachers that worked there. I was…read moretold great things about the school with the prior principal. However, I do have to say under this new principal the school has become very business driven and has lost the old Catholic school culture. She lacks leadership and has developed an atmosphere of turning the other way when issues evolve. She's very transparent of the families and student selections that have more facilitation to support economically. The bullying situation in the school is atrocious. They have nothing set in place to have any control over the situation and only have a part-time counselor so if it's her day off and there's an issue to be addressed, good luck. Again to be fair there is a handful of good hearted teachers that work hard and care about the students but the leadership. I feel well little by little deteriorate, the quality of the school. Just speaking from the heart and God willing things will change for future generations once this leadership team is no longer there.

He is a man of integrity and high morals. Sugar Creek Baptist Church's messages are always on point with the teachings of the Bible. That is the greatest asset of this church. When you come, don't just attend the service because you can feel "lost" in the crowd, do come and join one of our connect groups to have the small and intimate feel of a small church.

I haven't been to Catholic Church since CoVid. It's refreshing to see a church that I like and…read morecontinue to attend the mass as much as I can. I found Corpus Christi Catholic Church unique and easy to major thoroughfares. I can hop on the loop, get off at Stella Link and church is just right there. Parking lot is easy access during the ordinary days. That's how I always find a parking space. That may well be different during holly days. I also found street parking on Cheena Drive is closer to the church entrance than the parking lot. The parishioners are very diverse and younger than other churches I've been. I learned how they greet you with palm to palm rather than shake hands. Holy water dispenser is also touchless. The church interior has high vaulted ceiling and it is clean and smells fresh. The choir is always a big plus during its service. They have several outdoor speakers to broadcast the beautiful sounds to the outdoor space. The ground is well kept as well. Overall, it's a serene place to be. Other parts of the church ground are schools and facilities for the community. Google Maps GPS sent me to the kittycorner of this lot initially. That is a different church and different religion. I think it's because there's another entrance to the parking lot connected with a sports field that belongs to the schools.

St. Theresa-Memorial Park has been our church for about 10 years. We came here from another nearby…read moreparish and that is the same story for a lot of people we have met here. We all agree that it just felt right when we found St. T. We did not know a single soul when came here but now have many close friends. It is a hidden gem, but worth looking for. Super location at the edge of Memorial Park. It is not unusual to see runners and golfers pop in for mass. Very diverse: students, singles, couples, young families, seniors; all kinds, all walks. All are truly welcome here. Each Sunday obligation mass has a different "flavor", so try another if you aren't feeling the right fit. Also, our pastor Fr. Phil is awesome. Check us out. You will not be just another name on the parish roll. Join a club, a ministry or a class and you will meet lots of really genuinely nice people. I really encourage runners to come by. My dream is to have a runners' mass maybe once a month, I think that would be really cool! P.S. I give 5 Stars because I love this church, but I know it is not perfect. We are working on some physical changes right now that will make St. Theresa's 5 Stars plus! * There is also an excellent PreK3 - 8th Grade School here. I will write about that in another review.

There are also classrooms with Smart Boards, which use projectors and touch sensitive technology to allow an interactive way of teaching. The faculty is excellent; the teachers are willing to help in any way they can to make sure you're receiving a quality education. Additionally, the school emphasizes community service (during the summer before my senior year, the requirement for service hours was a minimum of 100 hours) and spiritual life (the opportunity to attend a large retreat every year with all of your classmates). Through the community service and retreats, I really grew as a person, as I tried to follow Strake's motto, "Men for Others." There are excellent opportunities to be involved at school, such as athletics, theatre, SJET (a closed-circuit television system), student organizations, choir, orchestra, yearbook, and several others. Also, I was able to take Latin for several semesters, a language class that is not available at most schools. The administration at the school is very accessible, and the counselors are very helpful. I never felt lost when dealing with impending college decisions, and I am grateful for the guidance provided throughout this process. I am very appreciative of my parents for sending me to a great school, and in the future, I will definitely send my kids here.

My parents were in debate of which all-girls' college prep school to send me to. I campaigned…read moreheavily for SAA bc the recruiters showed up vibrant, positive, and self-possessed. The other all-girls' school recruit team showed up withdrawn, and resigned. SAA is a place for ambitious girls, or to make one. Peers are COMPETITIVE. The '-' and '+' to your 'A' will matter to them. They'll make a stink when they outperform you, or sulk when they didn't perform as well as you. As a student, you'll get accustom to so many girls being smart, pretty, AND rich. To restate, if you're simply both pretty and rich, this won't be enough for status. High intelligence/high academic performance is valued here. Know that none of us alumn regret attending here. When I went onto co-ed undergrad, grad school, and the working world, we're all dismayed and astounded by our female peers, who evidently didn't attend an all-girls' college prep run by feminist(s) ...nuns; They'll lower their performance, not go for things, or simply question themselves in moments of alpha male posturing, and such guys' conscious and unconscious inferences to themselves being better than any of us. F*ck that sh*t! [Ahem.] Your daughter won't be naive to sexism. We get to more lucidly see how sexist boys and men (note: not all boys and men are sexist) get in the way of our own productivity, and ambitious aims. Because of SAA's relationship w all-boys' prep schools, there's a stark contrast of experiences --5 days a week you're with ambitious, talented, fearless young ladies who enjoy the pursuit of accomplishments. There's no contending w unconscious favoritism invested toward the success of boys in the classroom (wc studies have revealed are present in all manner of teachers). There's no teen marathon to display physical perfection; Cluttering our time --bc exposure to guys is confined to particular classes, lunch, and outside school hrs. I only applied to U.T. Austin. Luckily I got in. I do regret I didn't pursue my school counselor's recommendation that I apply to Sarah Lawrence College. The ways of public school peers, at U.T. Austin, was a shocker. Including those IB tracked! I ultimately pursued art, so I'll present what unfolded, thanks to being immersed in the culture of SAA. After finishing my Psychology degree at U.T. Austin, I worked for a yr at the State Legislative Council. The sexism (and racism) was high that legislative season. Despite all that drama, it wasn't in the way of my work. Their data showed I was 99% accurate (a.k.a. highest performer). I forgot the next highest performer, but I know it wasn't 98%. Three of the straight women were threatened in some way (mostly job security) by the wounded egos of our male colleagues' unrequited love. For me that was the first conscious moment that I knew no SAA girl would plead for understanding from juvenile, unprofessional men. We handle such people differently. After that job, I pursued a Fine Arts degree at U.T. Austin. On my arrival, I found that the department's art stars were only guys. I remember noticing all their well-rendered paintings of phallus pleasures and hyperbolized woman-child imagery. Needless to say, I was unimpressed w the ruse of pornographic fantasies contextualized in high art materials. ...I made art that employed my psych. degree and (minor in) sociology, as well as the skills I picked up at the Texas Legislative Council (i.e. reading legalese). By my second yr I won the first unanimously-voted merit award (the most prestigious Fine Art department award at the time). Same semester, I got published into a book that my then-professor also got selected for. I went on to be a Skowhegan Resident, which at the time was the top international art residency in the world. Just under 1% of applicants were accepted my yr. I got to study w Janine Antoni, Glenn Ligon and Kerry James Marshall. --To reiterate, SAA culture positions you well. I graduated from my dream grad school, Pratt (was #1 pgm att). I also made first cut for the Whitney program, Yale grad pgm, and full acceptance to Columbia U. ...So my four stars for SAA is bc 1. I wish the counselors informed us of the unfair details of an Ivy League. I only declined Columbia bc it was the first yr of a grad art program. I had no idea the cache of "Ivy League" would yield too many benefits to mention here. Also know, there has never been a year I regret not going to HSPVA. I would choose SAA for every young female in Houston. So would my alumn peers. SAA's also missing that last star for two more reasons: 2. It is extremely odd that nearly all my peers (and I) married white men. What are we not learning? 3. We need better brother schools. WHY were SJ boys allowed to chant, "TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP...!" at SAA girls, leaving many in tears and most feeling shocked, wholly betrayed and unsafe. Now my cousin and her SAA alumn peers are politically active college women. Well-versed, intelligent, and ambitious.
