From The Indianapolis Star, Sunday, April 11, 1926:  The cornerstone of Little Flower Church will be laid this afternoon with the blessing of Bishop Joseph Chartrand, assisted by the church pastor Rev. Charles Duffy and several priests from various Indianapolis churches.  The new building, which is half completed, will be used as a combination church and school.  Six classrooms and a 700-seat church auditorium will occupy the first floor, and the second floor will be the living quarters for the nuns.  The basement will contain club rooms for men and women.  A copper box will be placed in the cornerstone, containing a roster of present members of the new parish, the names of the men employed in the building’s construction, the program of the ceremonies, a history of the foundation and beginning of the parish, and copies of local newspapers.
