Last service

After 107 years Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Smiths Creek closed its doors after one last service today. Mary, 84 has been attending services every Sunday with her husband Ray, 88 all of her married life. Her children where raised in the Church along with their children."There's a lot of good memories here," she said. Parishioners packed the tiny Church next to the railroad tracks to worship one last time. The opening hymn, "Hail Mary Gentle Woman", it pretty much sums it up.
