St. Mary of Carmel Catholic Church

Diocese of Dallas

In 1941 Fr. Sebastian Vallés O.C.D. established St. Mary of Carmel as a mission of Guadalupe parish. Starting with a catechism class on the front porch at the home of Felipe Ruiz, he erected a little building as a catechism center, which shortly after was used as church.

Then he built the church, St. Mary of Carmel, which Bishop Joseph P. Lynch dedicated in 1942 and canonically erected as a separate parish on April 27, 1944.  In 1966, a new church was erected and dedicated.
