The East Texas Weekend Preview — Quiet, restful and rejuvenating.
The St. Matthew’s Prayer Garden offers a real moment of peace, within the hustle and bustle of the city.
Stroll this magnificent space that’s home to plenty of walking space, wonderous statues of Christ and lots of seating to reflect on the highs and lows of life.
Come as you are, and stay a while. This Longview spot offers a nice reprieve to gather your thoughts and focus on hope.
One feature that will notice as you enter the park are the many triquetras that appear all around. This triangular symbol represents the trinitarian belief that the Catholic church holds to. A huge part of the garden itself is in a giant triquetra shape.

The garden also serves as a columbarium. Admire the tall, marble structures that house the remains of beloved, local family members.
