Bremond Historical Society Fundraiser

On Sunday July 29, 2007 the Bremond Historical Society will have a fundraiser event at the Coal Mine Restaurant. A fried chicken dinner with side dishes will be served. Also there will be a silent auction.

The society has acquired a downtown building and made considerable progress in renovating the old structure so that it will safely house a historical museum for the community. Just this summer a new concrete floor was poured. Doors and interior work will come next as funds are available.

Look ahead for a Sunday fried chicken dinner on July 29 at the Coal Mine. All are invited.

History of St. Mary Catholic Church – Brenham, Texas

St. Mary, Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Brenham, Texas.

Established on November 19, 1870 the second Roman Catholic parish in Washington County, Texas, St. Mary's in Brenham, has evolved over the last century and a quarter into a congregation of over 1,000 families. A projected growth of an additional 500 families is expected by the turn of the century.

The parish was founded and supported by Irish, German and Polish Families who were engaged in a variety of business in the early days of Brenham's history. By the early 1870s, a number of farmers, themselves Polish immigrants, began settling in the vicinity of Brenham and began attending St. Mary's.
