The Byzantine Catholic Community of Austin is the organized worshiping community of the Byzantine Catholic Archeparchy of Pittsburgh for the Austin, Texas, metro area. We have been a spiritual home for Byzantine Catholics in Central Texas since 2001.

We meet for the Divine Liturgy every Sunday, and for reader services of all major feast days. We meet at Holy Cross Roman Catholic Church, 1610 E 11th St, Austin, TX 78702.

Our Divine Liturgies are presided by Fr. Peter Davids of the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter, currently serving as chaplain for the Dominican Sisters of Mary convent in Georgetown, Texas. Confessions are available before the Divine Liturgy or by appointment with Fr. Peter.

Pastoral oversight for the community is provided by Very Rev. Fr. Elias L. Rafaj, SEOL, of St. Basil the Great Byzantine Catholic Church in Irving, Texas.
