Inscription.

Dating to 1899, this historic church is built of white Austin limestone quarried in Liberty Hill, and is complemented with a dark slate roof. It exemplifies the cruciform plan, with a long nave leading from the main entrance at the west to the chancel at the east, and a cross formed by north and south transepts. All but one of the stained glass windows are the work of the famed Willet Stained Glass Studios of Philadelphia. A 1939 renovation by San Antonio architect Marvin Eickenroht extended the chancel to the east and was built of stone from the same quarry used in the original structure.
