Description
Our Lady of Refuge Church - RomaTX by Debra Martz Facing the Plaza of the historic district of Roma, Texas, is the historic tower of the original Nuestra Senora del Refugio church built in 1853. It was built by Father Perre Keralum (1817-72), a carpenter - turned priest of the Obaltes of Mary Immaculate, a French Catholic order. The Roma Church was the first of several designed by Fr. Keralum and built by the Oblate priest along the Rio Grande. The spire atop the brick tower was shortened when the old church was torn down.
