St. Mary’s Missionary Baptist Church is one of the many forgotten religious institutions and churches of Pflugerville, Texas as well as the Austin/Travis County area. Only historians and long time residents of Pflugerville know about this religious institution.
St. Mary’s Missionary Baptist Church was organized in 1902 inside the small town of Pflugerville, Texas. St. Mary’s Church was located at Caldwell Lane west of Pflugerville. This church building was constructed out of native stone and red brick. The church congregation met weekly on Saturdays and Sundays. Several Baptist congregations of Travis County have met here over the years. In 1922, the church received vast improvements and many renovations.
St. Mary’s Missionary Baptist Church shared a cemetery with St. Matthew’s Missionary Baptist Church. Some graves date back to the 1930s. Many graves appear to be unmarked. However 40 burials have been identified by the Austin Genealogical Society.
St. Mary’s Missionary Baptist Church closed in 1973 and was demolished. The St. Mary’s Missionary Baptist Church structure no longer remains as the structure has been long. Lack of membership led to the church closing.
St. Mary’s Missionary Baptist Church was located at Caldwell Lane, Pflugerville, Texas, US 78660.
