Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church was dedicated on January 17, 1960. Prior to its Homewood location Our Lady of Sorrows was on the southwest corner of 14th Street and Avenue F; after a fire the parish was relocated to Homewood where it has been ever since. Following the move and before the new church was built in Homewood the first Fourth of July Festival was held in 1949. The school began operation in 1951 and the school auditorium served as the church for the next eight years. The priests’ residence or rectory was completed in 1962.

In 1985 a handmade organ was installed from the Kenneth Jones Company in Dublin, Ireland.

Our current pastor, Monsignor Martin Muller was assigned as Associate Pastor in 1983 and in 1989 was named as Parish Pastor.

In 1990 the Botti Studios of Evansville, Illinois began installing the Seven Sorrows of Mary stained glass windows in the church. These windows were dedicated on the feast of Our Lady of Sorrows, September 15, 1991. The stained glass images you see in this website are of these windows.

The Columbarium and Memorial Wall were built in 2009.
