3 miles south off Expressway on FM 1016.
This chapel is a historic site listed on the National Registry and is located at a city park near the banks of the Rio Grande River. Built over a
century ago by pioneering Oblates of Mary Immaculate, it was used as farm and ranch land, supporting the priests and their charities.
It served as a rendezvous spot for the “Padres on Horseback” en route to Roma from Brownsville. The original chapel, built in 1865 has been
rebuilt or restored at least two times. It was relocated at this present site in 1899.
La Lomita means “little hill” in Spanish, and is the namesake for the present city of Mission.
