Saint Louis De France Church

Saint Louis De France Church has its roots as a mission church starting in 1893. Its parent church was the Saint William’s Church of Agawam. This Agawam church is now called the Saint Theresa’s Church. The next year land was purchased and then a structure built in 1895. Rev Joseph M E Genest was the mission pastor. It would burn in 1900 but would quickly be rebuilt. The church was at 801 Main Street at the corner with Belle Avenue. It would stay a mission church until 1907. In 1966 the steeple was removed.
