Came across this while browsing old newspapers online. This clipping comes from the Toledo News Bee on 14 November 1913.While I understand that the parish had been formed in 1908, the building itself was not complete and dedicated until 1913.
Transcription below.

Diane, I am so sorry it took me a while to get this to post. I’ve been unavailable most of the day. Do you have any more details that you would like to share here (such as your father’s full name, your grandmother’s name)? Maybe others would recognize the names. If you like, you can privately email me as well at keyholes@sbcglobal.net. I am not familiar at all with the name Suchala.
