• Notes

  The first Parish Priest was Rev. Father Columban Messener,of the Capuchin order, who had charge of the son's of the parish from 1852 to 1866. He was a man of progressive ideas and it may be said to his credit that it was mainly through his instrumentality and forethought that the church was placed upon a more enduring foundation and given a position for increased strength. Waterloo County Chronicle, 24 Nov 1898
