Rev. William C. Bueche, C.Ss.R. Pastor
I was born in Grand Rapids, MI in 1952. I grew up in our Redemptorist parish of St. Alphonsus there and entered the Redemptorist seminary in 9th grade (1966). I was ordained a priest in 1978, and spent one year as a pastoral associate at the Redemptorist parish of Holy Name in Omaha, NE. I was sent to Rome, Italy to pursue a degree in Moral Theology at the Alphonsian Academy, the Redmptorist Institute for Higher Studies in Moral Theology. I received my doctorate in moral theology in 1986, specializing in the area of bioethics. I was then invited to teach at that very academy and taught classes in bioethics for the next 10 years. In 1996, I returned to the U.S.A. and was assigned to the Redemptorist parish of Blessed Sacrament in Chicago, IL where I ministered to African-Americans, Latinos and a small number of Anglos. In 2005, I was assigned to our parish of St. Alphonsus in Minneapolis, MN. and worked primarily with the Spanish-speaking immigrants, building a large Latino ministry in the parish. I was reassigned in 2015 to the Redemptorist parish of Holy Ghost in Houston as pastor where I presently live. I am very pleased to be living and working in the culturally diverse environment that is Holy Ghost Parish and Houston in general.Rev. Binh Ta, C.S.s.R. Superior

Before coming to Houston, I was pastor of a parish on the border with Mexico, Fabens, Texas. There were 2 mission churches, mostly Spanish speaking. I also ministered to low income people in several "colonies"(properties with no real infrastructure - gas, water, streets, etc.). I preached in the different sections for a week at a time forming Bible/faith sharing groups, that continue to this day. In 1993, I came to Houston to minister here in Holy Ghost Parish. Officially, now retired, I continue to serve the community to the best of my ability.Rev. Donnell Kirchner, C.S.s.R.
Rev. Andrew Meiners, C.Ss.R.
I was born in St. Louis Missouri, shortly before the beginning of World War II. My father was a policeman and my mother a homemaker. I am the 8th of 9 children. I was ordained in 1970, after attending Catholic Schools in St. Louis, Washington University and Seminary. I have served as a parish priest and missionary, and worked in Retreat houses and publication. My most recent assignment was Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, in O'Fallon, Missouri. I am happy to be here at Holy Ghost and working with all of you.Rev. Tim Watson, C.S.s.R. Bro. Clement Furno, C.S.s.R.
