Immaculate Conception Polish Roman Catholic Church...

This is where it all started in the U.S.A. at Immaculate Conception Polish Roman Catholic Church in Panna Maria (Virgin Mary), Texas established in 1854. The first Mass was held at midnight on Christmas Eve, December 24, 1854 under the oak tree showing in the picture. This Christmas Eve it will be the 152nd Anniversary of that first Mass by the first Polish immagrants to this country.
