"St. Mary's Catholic Church may be said to have been founded at Tiffin in 1826, but not for five years later was the district set off as a station. Father Moynahan and Bishop Fenwick visited Fort Ball and Tiffin in 1826, and there met John Julian and Jacob Bonar, old members of the church. In 1829 Bishop Fenwick purchased lands in rear of the present Ursuline Convent. On May 15, 1831, Rev. Edmund Quinn came here, and held services in Julian's house, near the old St. Mary's Cemetery, and on the same day solemnized the marriage of John Nott and Henrietta Dickey, and baptized Henrietta Arnold, daughter of William and Anna (Noel) Arnold.
