Hospers St Anthony’s parish marks a century of growth
A long history of St Anthony's Church in Hospers traces its roots to 1870 when 17 settlers from Luxembourg and Germany arrived in Floyd Township. The parish grew through a mission church, a school opened in 1890 with Franciscan sisters, and a succession of pastors who oversaw a new church in 1938 and a brick veneer school in 1939. By 1967 the church interior was redecorated, a rectory rebuilt, and Spalding High School established with nearby parishes. Today the 401-member parish honors its vocations and lists many clergy and sisters from its community.

St Louis Parish History Traces Royal Church Growth
The Royal Catholic story begins in the late 1800s with Mass in a Center Schoolhouse then on Royal’s main street. A 1910 site on Second and Long led to a small St Louis church, expanded in 1924 and 1969, with a lineage of pastors and a 260-seat church plus social and education facilities. Meanwhile St Mary’s at Everly grew from a 1902 mission church to a 1967 rebuilt complex serving 56 families.
