(English)
Built in 1912, designed by Frederick B. Gaenslen, the church was established by the Oblates of Mary Immaculate as the first English-speaking Catholic parish in Brownsville. Built in the Gothic Revival style, it was severely damaged by the hurricanes of 1963 and 1967 and later restored. The stained glass windows bear the names of many of the pioneer and prominent families of the area.
