Biographical / Historical
The first record of Catholics in Carey was in 1853 and by 1864 two families and five single people made up the Catholic population in the village. The first church was started in 1868 and took almost two years to complete due to a lack of means. In 1877 the first school was built. It was small and was built into the back of the church. It wasn't until 1888 that the parish got its first resident pastor, Father Corneleius L. O'Brien. In 1890 Father John Mizer took possession of Carey. In 1901 the first church was moved to its present sight due to a need for a larger church. A new church building was started in 1907. It was nearly two years later that the basement chapel was ready for use. In 1955 a new school was completed and a second floor addition was made in 1961.
