Built in 1882 by Jose Policarpo Rodriguez, this picturesque church still
stands in the tree-covered hills of Bandera County on Privilege Creek.
Rodriguez, known as "Polly," was born in Mexico and came to Texas with his
father as a child. He became famous as a scout for the U.S. Army, a guide, a
hunter and a minister. He joined the Methodist Church and was licensed as a
Methodist preacher. He built this tiny chapel with his own hands. A short
distance from the chapel is a well-tended graveyard where Polly is buried.
Chapel usually open. Off Texas 16 about six miles southeast of
city.
