From the inception of the Catholic Church in the Lone Star state in 1745 at the San Gabriel Missions to the creation of the Diocese of Austin, Faith & Perseverance: The History of the Catholic Church in Central Texas details the significant historic events that involved and impacted the Catholic Church's development, growth, and success in the region.
