More DescriptionLong before the Mayo brothers founded their famous clinic, a little brick church grew in the frontier town of Rochester, Minnesota. Calvary Episcopal Church, founded in 1860, is now a spiritual oasis offering the living waters of faith to Rochester residents and visitors alike. This sesquicentennial history tells the story of Calvary's origins and growth in the midst of what would become the Mayo Clinic campus; the Tiffany stained glass and other donations from parishioners including members of the Mayo family; and parish traditions such as Calvary's world-famous fruitcake. Above all, "Frontier Chapel to Spiritual Oasis" is the story of faithful men and women striving to be the presence of Christ in downtown Rochester, and to carry that healing ministry forward into the 21st century
