St. Louis Church - Owensville, OH - Roman Catholic Churches on Waymarking.com

In 1856 a group of parishioners organized by Rev. Joseph Staley belonging to the St. Philomena Parish in Stonelick, met and petitioned Archbishop John Purcell to found a new parish at Boston (Owensville), Ohio. The petition was granted and in 1857 the first church was built for $3000. Constructed of brick, the 40 by 75 foot church was consecrated by Archbishop Purcell on July 17, 1857.

In 1879, the church was renovated and a steeple added at a cost of $1500.

The church pictured was built in 1921 after the first church was destroyed by fire.
