Socorro Mission, Spanish colonial church in Socorro, Texas.

Mission Nuestra Señora de la Limpia Concepción features adobe walls covered in stucco, with a tall south-facing facade and decorated wooden beams inside the building.

Franciscan missionaries established the original Socorro Mission in 1682 to support displaced Piro, Tano, and Jemez communities who fled New Mexico during the Pueblo Revolt.

The mission holds wooden beams with intricate paintings and carvings salvaged from the earlier structure, representing traditional Spanish colonial architectural techniques.

Socorro Mission stands at 328 South Nevarez Road, accessible from Interstate 10 at Moon Road and Farm to Market Road 258 south of El Paso.

A complete replica of Socorro Mission was constructed for the 1936 Texas Centennial celebration in Dallas and later transformed into St Anthony Church.
