[edit] Parish and worship space origination
The cornerstone for Holy Rosary Church, a Roman Catholic church in Manton was laid November 2, 1844.[3] The original church is not the one which is presently on this site. A few years later, in 1848, a new church was built. This, the present building, was blessed on November 19, 1848. The building was built of brick with an overall size of 20 x 60 feet.
[edit] Pastors
One of the first pastors was Rev. Julian Timoleum Pieters.[4] Records also show Fr. Edward Lynch was an early pastor, who was stationed at Holy Cross between 1866 and 1883. The current pastor is Fr. Chris Allegra.
[edit] The parish today
In 1883, a church was built at nearby Fredericktown (also known as 'the Burg'). The parish is a mission church to one at Fredericktown, Kentucky. The parish is within the Diocese of Louisville. There are about 200 parishioners.
This historic building is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
