What Catholic Churches would have been in Kewanee around 1865 to 1870? I'm hoping to find some information on the Fitzpatrick family who lived in Kewanee at that time and possibly the children were baptized in the Catholic Church. Thanks, Joyce Johnson Melbourne, Florida

St. Mary's Catholic Church was organized in Kewanee in early 1854, later became the Church of the Visitation in 1885. St. Anthony's Catholic Church was organized "about the turn of the century", and St. Joseph's in 1906. Holy Trinity Polish National Catholic Church was organized in 1928.
