Saint Paul’s Episcopal Church

Things To Do in Marfa, Texas, USA

101 E Washington Street. Services on Sundays at 9 am and sometimes open on other days. Just try the sanctuary doors. I’ve been lucky enough to pass by a couple of different times when the priest was there and he has allowed us to tour the sanctuary. Once, he even let me bring my dog inside when we were on a morning walk. Just north of the courtyard square, this river rock church has a beautiful sanctuary that seats 100 and a large parish hall. I appreciate the beautiful stained glass windows, art, and interior of the building. The original church was established in the 1880s, first meeting in a home and then in an adobe structure located where the Hotel Paisano now stands. The current Gothic Revival building was completed in 1930. There is a Texas Historic Landmark plaque outside highlighting the founders of the church and construction of the building. The church seems well-known for its hospitality and welcoming attitude. I plan on attending a Sunday service the next time I am in Marfa.
