The Catholic people of Toulminville, before the original church was built, were attended by Jesuit Fathers from Spring Hill College and priests from the Cathedral. Bridget Church in 1867 at Whistler, ministered to the mission. On May 6, 1868, Rosalie and Louis Wagner sold property on St. Stephen’s Road to Bishop Quinlan for $100.00. The Mobile Daily Register dated May 27, 1868, noted “the cornerst

one of a Catholic Church on the St. Stephens Road near Wagner’s was laid several days since.” A later article stated, “… St. Francis Xavier Church in Toulminville, now a part of the city of Mobile [was] founded in 1868 when the congregation consisted of about sixty members…”

In 1869, a parish school was established and during most of its short span of five years had an average of twenty-five scholars. On July 13, 1875, additional land was purchased from the Wagners. The present rectory rests upon this property.
