	Our History We celebrated our 100-year anniversary in 2006 with the relocation of the church building to "higher ground" and a renewed commitment to be people of Jesus Christ in our time and place here in the Texas Hill Country. St. Boniface was established in 1906 as a mission congregation in the Diocese of West Texas. It was named in honor of Boniface, Archbishop of Mainz, an English-born priest and martyr who served as a missionary to the people of Germany in the eighth century. The first service at St. Boniface was held on the Feast of the Epiphany in 1907. For the next one hundred years, the congregation worshipped at Broadway and Fifth Streets in Comfort, first in a wooden chapel and then in a larger building of native stone. For many decades, the church shared clergy with Boerne, Fredericksburg, or Bandera. The last twenty-five years have brought changes to the Comfort area and to St. Boniface. Two damaging floods, a quickly growing membership, and numerous new ministries have led St. Boniface Episcopal Church to its new location on Highway 87.
