RAYMORE (Qu’A) — It was with mixed feelings that the parish of St. Martin welcomed Bishop Helen Kennedy to officiate at their Christmas Eve service.
Even though it was a joyous occasion on the birth of Our Lord, it was also sad because it was the final service in the church building.
St. Martin’s Church had served the community for more than 115 years. The first church was built in 1910, and a new church was built in 1963.
The original building is now part of the Raymore Museum, and plans are underway for the disposition of the current building. The building will be deconsecrated after all the arrangements have been made for the change of ownership.
