Of the 85 subscribers on the March 5, 1885, list about forty were not Catholic. In 1887 Father Peter O’Dowd, the Independence pastor, came to Walker at the request of several Catholic families to discuss further the possibility of building a Catholic church in Walker. That year they built a church through the efforts of the citizens and the dedication of Father O’Dowd. It was probably then that they dedication the church to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.”
