First United Methodist Church

In 1888 Methodists built their church at the corner of Lincoln Way and Third Street, S.E., but it was destroyed by fire in 1892. When the present church was constructed, the people of the community took up a subscription to replace the steeple clock, which has since that time been known as the Town Clock

Massillon founder James Duncan set aside the lot at the corner of Tremont and Third Street, S.E. for St. Timothy's Church when he laid out the town. The first building was started ten years later in 1836, when the church was founded. It was replaced by the present structure-known for its Tiffany windows-in 1892.

St. Timothy's Church

St. Mary's Church

Founded in 1839 primarily by families who came to Massillon to build the canal. St. Mary's first church building was detsroyed by fire in 1892. While the German-speaking congregation rebuilt their house of worship, the Irish members formed an English-speaking mission, which became St. Joseph's Church. The present St. Mary's church, on the same Cherry Road site, was built in 1876.
