Al fin Y al cabo, un nuevo Nlrrey,
IN ell ano de 1744, acord0 que Sc en-
tregara a los peticionarios Ia suma de
5000 pesos, del tesoro real, para Ia
| erection de Ia parroquia de San An
tonic, una ~parroquia, segun ell de-
creto relative de treinta varas de
fondo Y seis de f~rente".
La mayor piedra de Ia Parroquia
de San Fernando fue colocada en- Ell
mes de Mayo del ano mismo de 1744.
Mas de cinco amos duraron los ira
bajos de construction, pues que la
dedication de la iglesia no tiene lu-
gar sino hasta el ano de 1749, en- ell
mes de Noviembre.
Fue su primer parroco el Rev. Juan
Francisco de Espronceda, quedando
Ia ~parroquia dentro de l. jurisdic-
ci6n del obispo de Guadalajara,
limo. Juan Gomez de Pereda.
Para la construction de esta Pa
rroquia, los mismos padres, ayuda-
dos de u hermanos de las misiones,
V de centenares de indios conversos,
fueron albaniles, arquitectos y escul-
torres. pintores, TODD. Ellos habian
sonado la iglesia, y de sus mismas

mayor, Y con ella empieza la era de
su crecimiento, pues que apenaS cons
truida, hubieron de llegar a San An
tonic cincuenta familias de las Islas
Canarias, Y cincuenta familjas tras-
caltecas.
POGO despues la ~poblacion fue a
grandandose, siempre en- tor1o de su
iglesia. lugar de refugio : de an
paro, rincon de calma Y de sosiego,
en- mitad del azaroso vivir de aQuellas
edades.
San Fernando fuG desde entonces
continua siendolo, la mas lmpor-
tante entire las historicas iglesias de
Texas.
En- sus archives aparecen no.icias
sobre las visitas que frecucatemente
