Description
Capilla Santa Ana (Old Mission Church) Roma Texas by Debra Martz
Along Estrella Street, in the historic district, are three religious builds important to the history of Roma. The Old Mission Church, according to local tradition, pre-dates the founding of Roma in 1848.
The following information from the Texas historical plaque.
"First Chapel in Roma. Built by volunteer labor, on donated site, of contributed materials, about 1840. In the years before Oblate Fathers arrived (1853) and built the church, some 500 confirmed persons had received sacraments in theis chapel, from secular priests who lived in Mier. "
