Saints Cyril & Methodius Catholic Church loacted in Shiner, TX.
I was driving through Shiner, Texas and saw this beautiful church and I could not resist stopping and gathering some footage with my DJI Phantom 2 vision +. This is a beautiful example of Romanesque Architecture. Please take a look at the church website (sscmshiner.org) to learn about the history of Saints Cyril & Methodius Catholic Church.
Saints Cyril and Methodius Church, Shiner, TX
Saints Cyril and Methodius Catholic Church, Shiner, Texas. This is our first stop on the Texas Painted Church tour. Beautiful church with a rich history.
Father Wolf and architect E. Wahrenberger supervised the construction contractors as Vincent Falbo and M. Deodati of San Antonio began building one of the most magnificent Gothic structures between San Antonio and Houston. The cornerstone was laid in 1920, and the present church was blessed by Bishop Drossaerts on July 7, 1921.
Well worth the drive to see it.
Saints Cyril and Methodius Church, Dubina, and Tom Lee
Slavic language heritage communities in Texas emerged with settlement of eastern European immigrants in the state during the mid-nineteenth century. Around the Hill Country region, immigrants from Central Europe encountered emancipated men, women, and children of color. This oral history interview with Fayette County Judge Ed Janecka focuses on the subject Tom Lee, who lived among and spoke the language of his eastern European neighbors. Mr. Lee,once a blacksmith and employee of Texas state representative Josef Petr, constructed the steeple atop the Saints Cyril and Methodius Church, in Dubina.
