Oldest continuously used church?
Our Lady of Lourdes - Just off Central Avenue in Minneapolis, Our Lady of Lourdes Church is on record as being the oldest continuously used church in Minneapolis. Built in the 1850s, the original building was constructed in a “greek temple” style. In 1877, the church was purchased by the Catholic French Canadian community, who changed the exterior design to more of a French Provincial church. The same community has worshiped at Our Lady Lourdes for over 120 years. The building has undergone massive renovations over the past 30 years, but the church has attempted to maintain as much of the original style as possible. French Meat Pies are available for sale in the parish office next to the church Mon-Sat from 9am to 4:30pm and on Sunday mornings! (I wish I had researched this part before I left!)
