This center, which was the ZAH showcase during
Congress 2000, is the envy of other cities that vie to
compete whilst at the same time going off in a trance to
visualize their version of the Houston Zarathushti Heritage
& Cultural center. We wish them good luck and feel confident
that our zeal to excel has set precedence by setting in
motion the idea of duplicating such centers across North
America and thus carving out the future for generations in
this, the New World!
The Zarathutsri Heritage and
Cultural Center opened in may 1998. Located in Southwest
Houston it is built on a seven acre site that was donated by
community members. The Center has a dar -e - meher, a prayer
room. Sunday School, the Zarathustrian Study Group, The
Youth Group, Senior Citizens and many other interest groups
meet regularly. Presently, the Center is in the process of
establishing a research library with holding of
Zoroastrian religious cultural and historical works for use
by all. The library regularly presents various workshops,
cultural seminars, films, plays, which are open to all.
