 | | Since early in the 'sixties, the Roman Catholics have had services in Rushville, but the congregation was never large enough to support a resident priest. |
 | | In the early days, when Rushville was a parish in the Chicago diocese, services were held at the home of Patrick Fox, and the priest made regular visits here to minister to the little congregation. |
 | | When the diocese of Peoria was erected in 1870, Rushville parish was included in the territory taken from the Chicago diocese. |
