Catholic Churches

ST. JOHN
The area west of Lincoln was heavily settled by Irish Catholics, who were served by this church for many years. This photo is circa 1909. The church is gone now, but there is still a Catholic cemetery at Vesper.

ST. PATRICK'S
The Catholics built their first church building in Lincoln in 1878. This is the second church, which was dedicated in 1907. Next to the church is the parsonage.

Another view of the church; the parsonage has been removed. Today there is a parsonage with meetings rooms in the basement to the left (south) of the church.

ST. PATRICK'S
The interior of St. Patrick's was remodeled extensively in the 1970s.

STAINED GLASS WINDOW, ST. PATRICK'S
One of the stained glass windows in St. Patrick's. The Celtic symbols painted around the windows are reminiscent of the church's Irish heritage. The windows were paid for by some of the original founds of the church; this one was sponsored by the Ryan family.
