St. Patrick, Galion

St. Patrick in Galion started as an English-speaking parish from the German congregation of St. Joseph. It lasted from 1871 until 1953, when it was merged back into St. Joseph's.
(Uncertain of the date of this post card -- a photo in the recent diocesan history book shows this church with a tower built onto the front.)

There's a series of pictures of the Back to Heartland youth gathering at St. Joseph, Galion, at the Mansfield News-Journal

It's good to see such a crowd.

The windows look particularly good and I wouldn't mind getting a better look at that Holy Family altar, at the left. I won't comment on the footprint stole, however.

Aside from the usual problem with the spire, it looks the same. HERE'S their website.

This appears to be St. Patrick's church, in about 1911. The parish merged with St. Joseph's in the 1950's. Much simpler, but the design's just as good.
