Description
There is a historical marker near this chapel that states "Santa Maria y San Jose Mission - Shortly after establishing the Lajitas Trading Post in 1899, adventurer and entrepreneur H.W. McGuirk donated land for a church. The present day Santa Maria y San Jose Mission is located on it. In 1901, McGuirk founded a school, and the first classes were held in the church. The mission has been a constant, reassuring presence in the lives of generations of people who have lived in Lajitas but as time wore on, the old structure fell into disrepair. In recent years, a group led by Elle Webb has restored the mission. Several denominations use the church for services today."
