Did You Know
is a series about the history of the parish. Featured information comes from parish historians Judy Chapleau and Marjorie Peters, as well as the 1996 book, 150 Years of Sharing the Word, which is part of the Naperville Heritage Collection on the Illinois Digital Archives.
DID YOU KNOW?
A fire destroyed the parish's first stone church in June 1922, and Mass was held in Wenker Hall until a new church was built. Opinions on the size and style of a rebuilt church vary in the congregation of 350 families. Some wanted a modest and affordable building, and others--who note the consistent growth of Naperville and rumors of a new diocese west of Chicago--wanted a more ambitious structure. In the end, the parish raised $350,000 and took out a $100,000 loan to pay architect Herman Gaul to design and build the Gothic structure that stands today with no inside pillars and seating for 960 people.
