The Spalding we knew and loved!

nrhp # 83003990- St. Michael's Catholic Church is a parish of the Catholic Church in Spalding, Nebraska, part of the Diocese of Grand Island. It is noted for its historic buildings, notably the parish church, academy, and convent, which were added to the National Register as St. Michael's Catholic Church Complex in 1983.
In 1879, the Irish Catholic Colonization Association was incorporated, following development work by James O'Connor, Vicar Apostolic of Nebraska; John Ireland, Bishop of St. Paul; and John Spalding, Bishop of Peoria. The association purchased 25,000 acres of land in northeastern Greeley County from the Burlington and Missouri River Railroad, with the goal of establishing a colony for Irish Americans fleeing harsh conditions in the east.[2] The town of Spalding, named after Bishop Spalding, was established in 1881, and a small frame church was built the following year and dedicated to St. Michael.
The community soon outgrew the frame church, and a new brick church was built in 1890. It was dedicated by Richard Scannell, Bishop of Omaha on June 9, 1891. The first church was remodeled into a school, staffed by the Sisters of Mercy until 1900, and thereafter by Dominican sisters from Kentucky. A new school building and a new convent were completed in 1913 and 1927 respectively.[2]
The congregation outgrew the brick church as well, and James Henry Craddock of Omaha was hired to design a newer building; Craddock also designed the Church of the Visitation in O'Connor. The cornerstone of the present structure was laid in 1909, and Bishop Scannell dedicated the new church on September 29, 1914.
