Biographical / Historical

In 1909, St. Agnes Catholic Church was established on the west side of Toledo. The parish was assigned a resident pastor, Father James Higgenbotham, that same year. In 1911, work began on building a combination church and school. It was completed in 1912. In 1922, a new school was built to handle the growing enrollment. In 1952, the parish began building a sister's convent. The growth of the church was steady since 1909. To accommodate the growth, the church building was enlarged to its present-day capacity.
