| St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church may be said to have had it’s origin with the marriage in May, 1811 of protestant Francis Cassatt Clopper and catholic Ann Jane Byrne. In 1812 they built a large dwelling several miles northwest of Gaithersburg, named the Woodlands and which became a focal point for the Catholics in the area, with regular services conducted in the ballroom of the house by visiting priests. |
| In 1834 a parcel of the Clopper farm at what is now the intersection of Md. Rt. 117 and the Game Preserve Road, was donated by Francis and Ann Jane Clopper for the building of a church, a brick structure which was completed in 1836 on the site of the present St. Rose of Lima church. The name of the church was selected by the Cloppers, and it honors Sr. Rose Landry White. |
| The church of 1836 was destroyed by fire in 1883 and was replaced by the present frame building, using some of the original bricks which had been made on the Clopper farm. There were substantial renovations to the 1883 structure in 1987-88. |
| The parcel originally donated has been added to, so that the Church and its’ additional building now occupy about 11-½ acres. |
| Until 1972 the Church was a mission church, first of St. Mary’s Rockville, then of St. Mary’s Barnesville, then of St. Martin’s Gaithersburg; but in 1972 it became an independent parish. |
