Two more former Roman Catholic churches will soon be memories, with the demolition of a church in Gordon in the process, and another in Ashland to occur in the near future.
According to the Republican Herald, a work crew began tearing down Our Lady of Good Counsel Church in Gordon last week. And by Monday, the front half was all that was left of the 109-year-old church.
In Ashland, plans are in the works to take down St. Mauritius Church, which was constructed in 1900, replacing the original church built in 1856, one year before Ashland was incorporated as a borough. The church hall to the east of St. Mauritius, which was originally the parochial school, will also be demolished and the St. Mauritius rectory, will be sold.
