Grace City Catholic Church

At first the Catholics in the community planned to build a church but finally decided to buy an old school house that stood north of Grace City.  It was the one in which the Methodists had held services first.  Mrs. George (Oveda) Trembley purchased it and moved it onto her land south of the railroad tracks.  Before this residents had gone to Carrington and New Rockford to attend services.  It was remodeled and the steeple placed on it June 28, 1917.

The first services were held in it July 18, 1917 with many from the country coming in.  Services were held at 8:30 a.m. with Father Cokren of New Rockford conducting.  When the weather got colder the services were held in the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Trembley.

In June 1918 there was a heavy rain and windstorm and the church was moved off its foundation.  No one seems to remember any services being held there and in later years the church was bought by Neal Stedman and moved to his farm and used for a hired man's house where it is today.
