Founded on March 16, 1839, Christ Church Cathedral is the cathedral church for the Episcopal Diocese of Texas. It is Houston's only religious congregation still worshiping on its original site from the days when Houston was the capital of the Republic of Texas. Many Episcopal churches in Houston and the surrounding area were founded as missions of Christ Church, such as the Trinity Church which was founded in 1893.
