Ascension of Our Lord Catholic Church, Gothic Revival Catholic church in Moravia, Texas

Description

Ascension of Our Lord Catholic Church is a Gothic Revival church located on FM 957 in Moravia with a Latin cross floor plan and a tower. The building features decorative stonework, pointed arches, and interior embellishments including painted walls and ornamental ceiling patterns throughout the sanctuary.

History

Construction took place from 1912 to 1913, establishing this structure during the early 20th century. The National Register of Historic Places recognized it in 1983 for its architectural design and historical importance to the area.

Culture

The interior features marble-like wall paintings and ornamental ceiling friezes that create a warm, decorated worship space. These hand-applied details shape how visitors experience the room and reflect care taken in every corner.

Practical

The church sits along a rural road and offers nearby parking for visitors who want to step inside. Weekday visits tend to be quieter, allowing more time to examine the architectural details and interior decorations at a relaxed pace.

Did you know?

A large painting of the Ascension of Christ dominates the ceiling above the altar as a focal point. The tower was later reduced to half its original height, a significant alteration that changed the building's silhouette over time.
