| Description: | "Congregation organized in 1862, and church dedicated in 1863. It is a gothic frame structure, 20 x 60 feet. The church of St. Vincent de Paul was a work of love from the foundation stone to its modest spire. Feeling the need of a Catholic church in Sedamsville, the well-known 'Squire Sedam,' though a Protestant, gave an acre or more of groun on condition that it be used for chruch purposes perpetually. What ws then the nucleus of the present thriving congregation had a little chapel in a private house, their pastor being Father, afterwards the beloved Bishop rosecrans. Mr. John Rogers, a pioneer of Cincinnati, a dear friend of Archbishiop Prucell, undertook the work of rasiing the ways and means to build the new church; Messrs. Schmidt and Richardson were most earnest in assisting him and the Protestants in the neighborhood most generous. The church was completed and dedicated, Father Rosecrans continuing its pastor until succeeded by Rev. Xavier Donald McLeod, who lost his life in by a trian while on sick call, Friday evening, Juen 30, 1865. ...The congregation has a membership of 50 families." | |
