About St. Mary's Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church
St. Mary's Our Lady of Lourdes Church grew from eastern European Catholic immigrants in Burleson County, Texas, in the late nineteenth century. The first mass was in August 1893, and in 1895 the community built a sanctuary dedicated to the Virgin Mary of Lourdes. The congregation acquired land for a cemetery in 1899 and has had full-time priests since 1908.
HISTORY HAPPENED HERE at St. Mary's Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church
A number of eastern European immigrants of the Catholic faith came to Burleson County in the late 1800s. Priests from nearby towns led worship services; the first recorded mass was in August 1893, with the Rev. Jacob Lauth presiding. In 1895, residents and trustees bought land and built a sanctuary dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary of Lourdes. Four years later, the church, which came to be called St. Mary's Our Lady of Lourdes, bought adjacent land for use as a cemetery. The congregation has grown over the years with new facilities and programs, and, since 1908, full-time priests. (2005) Source: https://atlas.thc.texas.gov/Details/5051013270
