St. Michael's Church
.

On Chapel Street at Addison Road

Organized in 1861, the congregation which was to become St. Michael's met in private homes and was served by visiting priests. Two years later, the "little stone church" was constructed by the forty-four families of the newly formed parish. However, by 1915, the membership had doubled and St. Michael's was considerably enlarged. In recent years, the interior has been remodeled along simpler lines. The altar and communion rail came from an old mission church in Sandusky. From 1876 to 1936, the St. Michael's congregation operated a parochial school in a separate building across the street. In recent years, it has been served by visiting priests though, for much of its history, resident pastors ministered to the congregation.
