HISTORY OF PETTIS COUNTY 277 The name of this parish was changed from St. Vincent's to St. Patrick's when the location was changed to the present location. The following have ministered to the parish: Rev. Fr. Swift (who established St. Vin- cent's) and Rev. Frs. Walsh, Graham, Murphy, Scanlon, Haley, McNamee and the present incumbent, Rev. Fr. Jennings. Sacred Heart Church dates from 1882. In that year Rt. Rev. J. J. Hogan, D. D., bishop of Kansas City, granted the German Catholics, then numbering thirty-five families, permission to found a congregation inde- pendent of St. Vincent's Parish of which they had hitherto been mem- bers. Father Dickmann, C. PP. S., immediately secured a place of wor- ship, first, in Keck's Hall, and then in the vacant Episcopal Church located at the corner of Fourth and Massachusetts streets. In the meanwhile they purchased the lots on the southeast corner of Third and Vermont streets, and the parish contributed towards the erection of the new church, combining church and school. October 1, 1882, the new church and school were dedicated and the Sisters of the Community of the Most Precious Blood took charge of the school which has ever since grown and flourished. The charter members of this church were C. L. Keck, Henry Schaffer, Joseph Burger, H. H. Meier, Frank Lorsbach, Peter Meyers, Alexander Kipping, John Young, Joseph Klink, George C. Deckmann, P. R. Meyers, Caspar Lix, Joseph Lix, Joseph Patt, George Altemueller, Peter Rast, Mrs. Binder, Henry Rottler, Hermann Loos, Caspar Kruse, Mrs. Phil Pfeiffer, Mrs. Rogers, Mrs. Andler, Michael Neckermann, Mrs. Hampeter, Frank Van Hoff, Mrs. Brockschmidt, Mrs. Wagner.
