Catholic Church
This is St. Francis deSales Catholic Church in Kilmarnock, Virginia. It is interesting that with all the Baptist and United Methodist Churches every couple of miles in this rural area, this is the only Catholic Church within 37 miles (59.55 km).
A small white frame chapel was dedicated for Catholic worship in 1885. The priests came by steamship from the port of Fredericksburg 84 miles (135.18km) away to a wharf in Irvington, about five miles from this church.
The present brick church was dedicated in 1956. It is one of the many churches located on Church Street.
Have a Happy Sunday!
