Compiled by Mrs. J. M. Pinckney, Jr. and Mrs. Marcella D. Spiller
Printed in the Austin Genealogical Quarterly, Vol. XI No. 2, June 1970

The church was first known as St. Patrick’s Church when it started services in the fall of 1852, and was located at the northeast corner of Brazos and Ash (9th) Streets. During the pastorate of Reverend Nicholas Feltin (1864-1874) the name of the church was changed to St. Mary’s of the Immaculate Conception. St Mary’s is presently located at 203 E. 10th St. All spellings were taken from the original article. Microfilm of these records is available at the Catholic Archives in Austin.
