The Story of St. Mary

The story of St. Mary in Toledo is an interesting one. The German parish at St. Francis de Sales was getting too large. So, in 1856, they built a new church and dedicated it to St. Mary. The church was located at the southern corner of what is now Cherry and Spielbusch, across from the Diocese headquarters. The church even had the largest room in Toledo being the sanctuary. That record would be one of many problems to occur. The church was so big, that maintenance and preservation were very difficult. In 1904, a new school was built on Page St. just south of the St. Vincent Mercy Hospital. This school had a chapel that would hold weekend Mass and lead more parishioners to go to the chapel for Mass instead of the Church. This all led to the Churches demolition in the early 1930s along with the school and chapel being closed later on. 

90 years later, this leads to me trying to find the locations of these places. 

The school and chapel are basically unscathed along with the other buildings nearby.

This is where the the original church would've been. Today, its half an empty lot and the other half is where the Lucas County Court of Appeals is.
