Saint Ita’s Church

St. Ita Church is one of the more active churches in the Edgewater community. It was founded in 1900 and was one of the first churches in the area to hold mass in Spanish. Father Crowe and architect Henry J. Schlacks traveled to the eastern states to study the finest examples of French Gothic architecture in this country. Some inspiration for the design of the church also came from the church of St. Brou in Bresse, France and from the Cathedral at Chartres
