"Back in 1856 when parishioners at St. Gertrude Parish in Krakow set out to build a new church, their goal was for "a more substantial building made of brick."
"When the parish celebrated its 100th anniversary in 1945, it was noted that the interior had recently been "torn out to the ground and rebuilt with new concrete footings, streamers and floors. The furnishings and floor plan were completely altered. Three new altars, lighting, new pews and furnishings were installed" at a cost of $10,000." ~ The Missourian, Nov. 15, 2006
