Ascension of Our Lord Catholic Church
Ascension of Our Lord Catholic Church, Gothic Revival Catholic church in Moravia, Texas
The Ascension of Our Lord Catholic Church stands on FM 957 with a Latin cross plan and a tower that features decorative stonework and pointed arches.
Built between 1912 and 1913, the church received recognition from the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 for its architectural and historical value.
The interior decorations by Donecker and Sons include marble-like wall paintings, stenciled friezes on the ceiling, and religious symbols in the ceiling coves.
The church maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors who want to explore its architectural elements and historical features during designated hours.
The ceiling above the altar displays a large painting of the Ascension of Christ, while the tower's height was reduced to half its original size.
