 Introduction

The records of St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church, 1915 - 2002, were transferred for microfilming to the Center for Archival Collections, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio 43403, in February 2002, with the cooperation of Reverend John R. Blaser of St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church.

The collection consists of baptisms*, first communions, confirmations, profession of faith, marriages*, interments 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.) Some text in Latin.

This register and this collection was prepared by Rachel Diegel and Kathleen Gardner in February 2002.

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