The community of Frydek (FREEdeck), six miles east of Sealy, is steeped in the old country Czech Catholic faith as it was named after a popular pilgrimage location in Moravia. In the 1880s, a large group of Moravian immigrants to Texas moved from Fayetteville to the area that became known as Frydek. As Sealy was the nearest parish and school, a building was constructed in 1908 that served as both a church and a school. The location was not easily accessible to all parishioners and the building was moved in 1916 to the present site. By 1917, the community had grown to over a hundred families resulting in a new church being constructed in 1924.
