Description
"Father Hanley supervised the building of the first church. On January 3, 1883, the church was dedicated to Saint John the Evangelist by Father Toohill. Father John Egan came to Belmond in 1887 and also cared for Clarion until 1900. When a tornado destroyed the church on June 20, 1894, Mass was celebrated in a public hall. A new brick veneered church was dedicated on January 1, 1895."
