1872 - Centennial - 1972
(Atoka Catholic Church)
Oklahoma's first Catholic Church was built in 1872 in Atoka. In 1876, Fr. Isidore Robot, O.S.B., first resident pastor, was named Prefect Apostolic of Ind. Terr. by Pius IX. The church was destroyed in 1924 and the bell in this tower was preserved in Caddo, Okla., through the efforts of Judge John L. Boland until its return to Atoka in 1971.
