Biography
Long Pastorate Of Rev. Louis Molon
After receiving the proceeds of the social, Father Griss thought the money might be more fittingly spent for the purchase of new property for church purposes, and the acquisition of a new organ postponed to some future date.
In September of 1865, after a short but busy pastorate of seven months, Father Griss left Elyria for his former charge at Perrysburg, which had remained without a regularly appointed pastor since his removal from there the preceding February.
He was immediately succeeded in Elyria by the Rev. Louis Molon, who was destined to remain longer as pastor of St. Mary's than any of his predecessors. He was an active and edifying pastor, and during the fifteen years of his incumbency saw a remarkable growth in the number of Catholics in Elyria. This growth of the parish necessitated again the enlarging of the church building and provision for more school room.
So under Father Molon's direction the church was made three times
