Catholic Church history
“The only Catholic
Church in Adams County
was dedicated June 19 to
the honor and patronage
of St. Jude the Apostle.
The first Catholic family in
Council, about 1909, was
the William Freehafers. In
1914 the Emery Kecklers
moved to Mesa and then
to Council. Mass was
offered in their homes for
many years. The priest
would come from Weiser
or Payette on Monday
mornings after serving
their parishes on Sundays?
“In 1963 Father John
Koelsch, the present pastor,
started coming to Council
from McCall twice a
month. Arrangements
were made to have Mass
in the Council Valley
Grange hall. The number
attending increased to 85
each Sunday. An Altar
Society was formed in
September, 1964, Mrs.
Robert Wood being its
first president?
“At this time a new
