St. Boniface Catholic Church - Scipio, Kansas St. Boniface Catholic Church in Scipio, Kansas was built by German immigrants in 1891. The limestone church replaced a wooden church which was closer to St. Boniface Cemetery. The lovely church rises above the surrounding trees and a handful of nearby dwellings. It appears to stand alone when viewed from U. S. Highway 59, two miles away. St. Boniface Parish is combined with St. Therese Parish in Richmond, Kansas. St. Boniface Catholic Church is always open. It is located about 6 miles north of Garnett. I first visited it in 2006. When I returned in 2024, I learned that the church had major renovations in 2022 and the two broad interior photos show the church as it is today. The photos of the altars and windows are from before the restoration. If you continue up the street past St. Boniface, you will come to St. Boniface Catholic Cemetery, which was established in 1858 and serves both parishes. List of burials as of 2016.
