Stone church artifacts are an integral part of the elegant and worshipful atmosphere at the Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart at Houston TX.
The "new" stone altar was preserved from the original 1896 High Altar of Sacred Heart Church, and was used in the Latin mass that was celebrated in 1896, when Sacred Heart parish was formed.

"The latest interior renovation of the Co-Cathedral was completed in 1990. The rededication of Sacred Heart Co-Cathedral occurred on March 25, 1990 with the Most Reverend Joseph A. Fiorenza, the seventh bishop, as the presiding celebrant. The sanctuary was renovated, and a new episcopal chair and ambo were added. The depiction of the Last Supper in the present, new altar was preserved from the original high altar."
