Sacred Heart (Osage, Iowa)

Sacred Heart (Osage, Iowa)

"The first Catholic church at Osage was a house which Father James Gilchrist bought on the corner of Third and State Streets. When Father E. W. Fowler came to care for the several parishes in 1885, the parish built a brick church on the block known as College Square, which was the gift of Jacob Brush, a Methodist. The cornerstone was laid in April 1887 by Bishop John J. Hennessy."
