"A parsonage and schoolhouse in the southern part of Monroe Township, midway between Chain of Rocks and Old Monroe. Religious services were held in the parsonage by 1860 by Father C. Tintrup, of St. Paul, Missouri. A church was built in 1867 and dedicated by Father P. Gerard. The cornerstone of the schoolhouse was laid in August, 1879, and the church was blessed in December of that year by Reverend Father Peter Richard Muchlsiejun. It was named for the Catholic doctrine." ~ History of Lincoln County, 1888, Goodspeed, p. 491
