St. Edward Catholic Church was established by decree of Pope John XXIII in 1960 and was named St. Edward's in honor of Monsignor Edward Devlin, who for many years served as the only priest in Austin. Rev. Dan Corcoran arrived in July 1960; the first weekday mass was soon held in the basement of Sterling State Bank, the first Sunday mass was held in the Sterling Theater. The existing church was completed in May 1963 and was dedicated by Diocese of Winona Bishop Edward Fitzgerald. In 2003, St. Edwards was clustered with the parish of St. Augustine with Rev. Joseph Fogal serving as pastor. Today, the parish of St. Edward is served by over 400 families and individuals, some of which are the original charter members.
