 Introduction

The records of St. Barbara Catholic Church, 1898 - 2001, were transferred for microfilming to the Center for Archival Collections, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio 43403, in October 2001, with the cooperation of Father Robert Kill of St. Barbara Catholic Church.

The collection consists of baptisms*, first communions, confirmations, Book of the Elect, marriages* and deaths. Due to inconsistencies in pagination and transcription of data, researchers are encouraged to refer to all volumes within each series. (See order of microfilming for a detailed list of these records.)

This register and this collection was prepared by Jennifer Golis in November 2001.

*There is a seventy (70) year access restriction on baptism and marriage records. No restrictions apply to the remainder of this collection.

 Agency History

In the Summer of 1898, the Catholics living in Cloverdale built their first church with hopes of finding a priest to served them. Later that year, Cloverdale became a Mission of Ottoville. The parish received their first resident pastor in 1900. His name was Father Henry Wickmann. In 1958, the parish completed their present church. It was built to accommodate the growing membership of the congregation. In 1976, St. Barbara Catholic Church began serving the Mission of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Continental. Currently, the parish is a sister parish of St. Joseph Catholic Church in North Creek and St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Continental.
