St. Joseph’s Church

We returned home from camping a few days ago, but I didn’t get around to finishing this last sketch until this morning.

The first couple of days camping the temperatures were in the upper 90s, too hot for a campfire. But Tuesday brought cooler temperatures and we planned to cook over a fire — just in time for the camp host to drop buy to say that a burn ban just went into effect! 

So we decided to drive into New Waverly to eat at the local diner. Across from the diner’s corner, I saw this lovely gothic-style church so I took photos to sketch from later. This is the third structure built on this site (in 1905); the congregation originated with a group of 40 Polish families who immigrated in 1867.
