St Mary's Church in Praha, Texas

One of the painted churches near Schulenburg, Texas

 

Praha is a small community of under 100 people, located south of Interstate 10 between Houston and San Antonio. During World War II, nine soldiers from Praha were killed in action, the highest percentage of any town in the U.S. This church has a small shrine dedicated to their memory.
