This is the history of Holy Redeemer Church. I only have this bit from an old parish directory. I didn't add any just from my mind because I wasn't sure of the correct dates. If you have any information I can add here please email me.
First recorded date of a Catholic priest in Clarksville, June 16, 1879 First church built with the help of Father Mathew Saettela, O.S.B. (Home Parish - Altus, Arkansas). Church was moved to present site when ½ an acre of land on the east side was traded for 1 acre on the west side of then Bluff Street. Parish cemetery established.
New church building fund established. Construction on new church and school started. New Holy Redeemer Church and school facilities were completed.
