Francesca Chapel

History of the Francesca Chapel

Completed in 1887, the Francesca Chapel is the oldest, unchanged church building in Waxahachie, Texas. It was designed by the late Bishop Garrett in the shape of a cross. The interior roof supports display gothic revival features that are rare and among the earliest examples of this style. The original altar and prayer benches were handmade, and are still in use.

The Francesca Chapel is used by two congregations, Saint Athanasius United Anglican Church and Trinity Reformed Episcopal Church, for Sunday worship services, and has proven an ideal setting for numerous wedding ceremonies.

Many wedding ceremonies are performed in the Francesca Chapel, and receptions are moved to other venues. However, The Francesca Chapel does have accommodations for small receptions in its fellowship hall. In the event the bride and groom choose to have their receptions at this venue, a separate rate has been established.
