Christ Our Light Church
In 1947, Rev. T.A. Ryan was appointed pastor of the Hempstead and Navasota churches and through him and friends of the Catholic Church, Congressmen were urged to assist in purchasing an army chapel located in Laredo.
Through the generosity of members and friends donating labor and means of transportation, the chapel was dismantled, brought here and rebuilt. Mr. Norton of Bryan was the consulting architect and Herbert Youens was the contractor. The cornerstone was laid in 1949 by Co-Adjutor Bishop W.J.Nold for Bishop C.E. Byrne.
