Excerpt from The Catholic Church in Fort Wayne The present publication attempts to delineate in broad outlines the story of the Roman Catholic Church in this region. Emphasis has been placed on the growth of early parishes in Fort Wayne; parishes in the diocese outside the city have received scant at tention or have been excluded. No attempt has been made to extend the history beyond the close of the nineteenth century. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
