HISTORY OF EARLY CHICAGO MODERN CHICAGO AND ITS SETTLEMENT EARLY CHICAGO, AND THE NORTHWEST BY ALBERT D. HAGER page 658 St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church is a handsome frame edifice situated on the corner of Forty-eighth Street and Ashland Avenue. It was built in 1883, under the pastorate of Rev. Father Gallagher, who was the first priest in this parish, which was set off from Father Dorney's parish in 1882. Its boundaries are Aberdeen Street on the east, and extending west to Western Avenue, from Thirty-ninth Street on the north to the town line on the south. When Father Gallagher was first assigned to this field, in the absence of any house of worship, meetings were held in the Buckley school building; the new church building was begun in the fall of 1882 and was completed and dedicated in April of the following year. The first services were held in the house, and while it was yet in an unfinished condition, on Easter Sunday. The first marriage in this parish was that of JOHN EGAN and MAGGIE DRISCOLL, in the summer of 1882; and the first marriage celebrated in the new church, and which occurred on Easter Sunday 1883, was that of Michael McCarty and Jennie Price.
