He was the first priest to serve in the recently formed town. He located other Catholic settlers and looked for a place to celebrate Mass. For the most part in those early days Mass was celebrated in a tent that normally functioned as McGinley's General Store. Less than two weeks later three lots were purchased for $225. Construction on a church building that measured 24 by 40 feet was begun on July 1, 1889 and was completed a month later. A 650-pound bell was purchased for $101 and the first Mass was celebrated in St. Joseph’s Church on August 4.By the turn of the 20th century the congregation began to outgrow its wood frame building and plans were made for a larger church. Work began on October 19, 1901 and it was finished the following year. It was dedicated by Bishop Theophile Meerschaert of the Vicariate Apostolic of Indian Territory on December 18, 1904. The church was constructed of Coffeyville brick in the Gothic Revival style. It features a central tower with a spire that is flanked by two shorter towers that are crenellated at the top. The building measures 137 by 64 feet.

After much research, the committee selected a 158-acre section of farmland which was a familiar landmark to Oklahoma City residents, having been the country home of Virgil Browne, a well known civic leader. The committee agreed that 400 members had to be signed in order to assure that the club could be built and plans began to unfold.ConstructionThe contract to begin construction of the Club was awarded to Acme Construction Company and ground was officially broken on November 30, 1960. Oklahoma City architectural firm Howard, Samis and Davies was commissioned to design a 40,000 square foot building at an estimated cost of $860,000. They came forward with a magnificent building built with more than 2000 tons of creamy beige, natural limestone rock, called Silverdale Stone brought from Silverdale, Kansas. The architects not only took advantage of nature's building materials and colors, but used large areas of glass to create the feeling of bringing the outdoors into the heart of the building.
