Immaculate Conception Catholic Church - Danville, Kansas
Immaculate
Conception Catholic Church, in Danville, Kansas was constructed
from 1904 to 1907. The Gothic-Romanesque church replaced the original St.
Rose of Lima church which had been built in 1887. A new pastor, Father
P. J. Maloney, had been appointed to the parish in 1902 and the congregation
had quickly grown, requiring a larger church. The new church building was
dedicated on November 21, 1907.
As the local population shrank in more recent times, Immaculate
Conception was merged with catholic churches in the communities of Harper
and Anthony to create the St. Joan of Arc parish. There is a weekday mass
at 5:30PM on Mondays in Danville. Weekend masses rotate between the three
churches. Call to confirm when they are held at Immaculate Conception.
At the time of its construction, Immaculate Conception
was styled the "Gem of the Prairies." The cross topped tower is 126' tall
and stands above a 55' by 116' brick structure. The stained glass windows
were created by the Ford Brothers Glass Company of Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Much of the information above comes from the 1990 certification
of the church on the Register of Historic Kansas Places.
