Neshannock 

Catholic Church

In 1869-70 a Catholic Church was built in Neshannock, and the first service held therein by Father Hartmann, of St. Rose Parish, in 1870. The mission was then placed under the charge of the pastor at Sharpsville, and so remains up to the present. The building was a frame, but not a very substantial structure. It was blown down early in 1887, and has not been rebuilt, and it is not very probable that it ever will be. The mission embraces only a few families, and services are held in private houses.
