Our Mother of Mercy Catholic Church and Parsonage, located at 1100 and 1104 Evans Avenue in Fort Worth, Texas, comprise a historic Black Catholic property in the city's southeast African-American neighborhood. The parsonage, a Tudor Revival single-family dwelling, was constructed in 1911, while the church itself was built in 1929. Both structures were historically served by the Josephites, a Catholic order dedicated to Black ministry. Together they were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999, preserving an important site of African-American Catholic life and religious practice in Texas.
