The Catholic parish of St. Rose of Lima in Council Grove, Kansas dates back to the year 1541, when Father Juan Padilla, Franciscan priest, accompnanied Coronado to the area now known as Kansas, looking for cities of gold. Father Padilla became a martyr for his faith, and a monument still stands (two miles southwest of Council Grove) in the middle of the Flint Hills grassland in his memory.
