CHAPTER XXXIII
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN WRIGHT COUNTY

Page 975

Clearwater-The Church of St. Luke.  This place was first attended by 
Rev. Wm. H. Blum from Fletcher.  On account of the distance it was 
detached from Fletcher and added to Annandale as a mission.  From 
there Rev. Chas. Cavanaugh paid regular pastoral visits to Clearwater, 
organized the Catholics in a regular organization and succeeded in 
building a nice brick church for them.  This was in the years 1905 
and 1906.  In 1909 Clearwater was attached as a mission to Monticello, 
from which place it is administered to this date.  Clearwater parish 
gives every hope for a prosperous future.  About forty families belong 
to the Church of St. Luke of Clearwater.
