History
St. Mary's Catholic Church in Hooppole, Henry County, Illinois was first built in 1883. Prior to this date, the community had gone to St. Malachy's Catholic Church in Geneseo, Henry County, Illinois, and then to Atkinson, Henry County, Illinois once St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church was built in 1870.
Before the parish was built, mass was occaisionally offered at the homes of the early settlers because the journey could be arduous. These early settlers included including Jean Sittler, John Grose, Michael Egert, Jean Clementz, Maurice Fritsch, Georges Seyller and George Clementz.
The new parish was built adjoining the properties of John Buechel and William Countryman under Rev. Tholen, and under the trusteeship of John Fristch and Joseph Leininger.
The first baptism was Frank Peter Sarter on 31 Oct 1883. The first marriage was between Charles Grose and Rosa Anna Egert on 25 Feb 1884. [1]
