This Church traces its history to Nuestra Senora del Refugio (Our Lady of Refuge), a Spanish mission established in 1791 (30 mi. NE). The mission relocated here in 1795. The 1868 building was razed, and in 1901 an impressive Victorian/Romanesque sanctuary was completed here. School, convent, and auditorium facilities were added in 1946. This church, which represents the area's unique blend of Spanish and Irish heritage, continues to serve the local community.

Correction: The school and convent of Our lady of Refuge Parish were built in 1939-40. The complex was dedicated March 31,1940.
