St Marys Catholic Church - fredericksburg - Fredericksburg (TX)

5 /5 Jim Nabholz: We attended the New Years vigil Mass at St. Marys while in town. Its such a beautiful church, one of the famous "painted" churches found in Central and Southern Texas. The Mass was wonderful, bi-lingual, and the people are very friendly... a wonderful place to celebrate the Mass. It was decorated beautifully for Christmas. Its a wonderful place to visit, for folks of any religion. If you like stunning, holy places, St. Marys is for you.

5 /5 Jacqueline Salter: I enjoyed going to the 8am Christmas Mass. The church is beautiful on the inside and one of the few painted churches left. My grandmother went to this church back in the 1950s when she was 15 so I made sure to share the pictures with her.

5 /5 Gillian Kadhim: I’m a wedding photographer and shoot here somewhat often. It’s always a pleasure. Beautiful prayer garden. Has a large hall space for events. Bridal getting ready room. The chapel itself is stunning to shoot inside as well as out. Downtown so parking can be limited with larger groups.

5 /5 Ann Boehm: A beautiful church with a long history of faithfulness. So happy to be a practicing Catholic who appreciates the beauty of this holy space. St. Marys Catholic Church began with a handful of German immigrants in 1846 and, since then, has been a continually growing spiritual family. The famous twin towers of the two churches, the Marienkirche (1861) and the new St. Mary’s (1908), have long been beacons of faith, hope, and love here in Fredericksburg and throughout the Hill Country. Our community has also been blessed with St. Mary’s Catholic School which has educated and formed our children since 1856.
