The Shrine of the True Cross is one of only 3 shrines that are dedicated to the Holy Cross currently listed in The Official Catholic Directory of the United States. 

 It is located at the halfway point between Galveston and Houston.  A Relic of the Wood of the True Cross upon which Christ died was received from Rome and enshrined in the church.  Bishop Byrne secured a special blessing from the Holy See and obtained for the Shrine a spiritual affiliation with the ancient Roman Basilica of the Holy Cross in Jerusalem, where Relics of Christ’s Passion, including the Wood of the True Cross, have been venerated by countless pilgrims from the fourth century to today.
