Le Seuer Sentinel      20 Jan 1881

"We learned that Father Kennedy with the sanction of Bishop Grace has concluded to build a large brick church at St. Thomas in Derrynane Twp . which is to be about the size of the Belle Plaine church.  It will cost, when completed, from $15,000.00 to $20,000.00 and will be the best church building in this county.  A part of the stone for the foundation has already been hauled on the ground".
