St. Patrick, Bascom

Had to post this today. . .

St. Patrick, Bascom

Built in 1914.

St. Patrick, Bascom

The stained glass windows were added to the church in 1949.

School Days

St. Patrick's School, Bascom (at the old site, across from the cemetery). The priest is Fr. Louis Mayle, which puts the date at approximately 1911 -1913.

St. Andrew's School, Liberty Township. (Not sure of date, but before 1929 since the church does not have an addition.) Photos are from the Bascom Sesquicentennial History.

St. Patrick, Bascom

The middle of the window is the Descent of the Holy Spirit.

Top of the window is the Sacrament of Reconciliation and the middle is the Presentation in the Temple. (I think the west windows show the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary and the east windows show the Glorious Mysteries.)

St. Patrick, Bascom - Original Church

The original St. Patrick's was located several miles southwest of Bascom. It was built in 1863; lightning struck the church and it burned on June 16, 1913.
