Contested prod. Local Roman Catholic church in Texas, no assertion of notability.  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 01:14, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Most individual religious congregations are non-notable per WP:ORG. Also, this article has no independent sources. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:33, 24 August 2008 (UTC)


 *  Keep This church has had some events in the past decade. --Bailey243 (talk) 02:00, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * The addition of Father Tim
 * One of the most active KOC councils in this country —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bailey243 (talk • contribs) 14:02, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete The church seems an average church with nothing to indicate it satisfies notability guidelines. The press clippings about the church are routine announcements. The only real claim to notability is an ABC News story about Father Church, the priest, who is one of the few married Roman Catholic priests. But any notability of Father Church is not inherited by his church. Edison2 (talk) 03:54, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep I just added a link to a Dallas Morning News article on the church's youth ministry and its anti-drug endeavors. While notability here may be marginal, deletion seems like a bad idea. Ecoleetage (talk) 12:52, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - There appears to be enough secondary coverage by reliable sources to warrant inclusion. --Oakshade (talk) 22:12, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep as the article now has references to significant in-depth coverage of the church and its activities far beyond the usual religion section notices. The notability threshold certainly seems to have been reached here. - Dravecky (talk) 12:07, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
