Edward Dominic Fenwick (1768-1832), hearing that Catholics in Ohio were longing for a priest, set out from Saint Rose in Springfield, Kentucky, the first Dominican priory in the country.  Jacob Dittoe (1760-1826) welcomed him into his home, and there in 1808, Fenwick celebrated the first Mass in the state.

Holy Trinity Church

 

A brick church was built on the highest point in town between 1826-27 with a capacity of 200 people.  Ever since the beginning, the twelve-acre cemetery beside and behind the church has held the remains of the faithful departed.  The construction of the present church in 1857 was supervised by James Whelan, O.P., the second pastor of Holy Trinity and eventually the second bishop of Nashville.  The present church was designed to hold 550 worshippers.
