Maumelle is a suburban city located roughly ten miles from downtown Little Rock in Pulaski County. It was originally a planned city whose growth and demographics would be carefully monitored and maintained in order to create a commuter's city near Little Rock. Since the 1980s, Maumelle has seen dramatic growth that includes numerous small businesses and large businesses alike, which, combined with local residents, provide a good deal of tax revenue which allows for its own fire and police departments. It is also home to a water treatment facility better known as Maumelle Water Management. Maumelle also sports its own golf course, the Maumelle Country Club; two lakes, Lake Maumelle and Lake Willistein; a library, which is part of the Central Arkansas Library System; a community center; as well as a charter school and several daycare centers. The city also has several Christian churches such as Shepherd of Peace Lutheran Church; there is also a Methodist church, and more recently, a New Life church.

George.Toombs:

'''Saint Edward's Catholic Church''' is located at 823 South Sherman Street in the [[Diocese of Little Rock]]. The church is across the street from [[MacArthur Park]].

Saint Edward's was founded by German immigrants in the 1880s. The parish was established in 1883 by Reverend [[Edward Fitzgerald]], then the bishop of Little Rock. A two-story wood-frame building was erected and dedicated at the site on August 26, 1885. The church name honors both Saint Edward and the bishop. The [[St. Edward's School]] opened the same year with sixty-four students. Beginning the 1892 instruction was turned over the the [[Olivetan Benedictine Sisters of Jonesboro]].

Groundbreaking on the present church took place on November 10, 1901, under Father [[Fintan Kraemer]]. The church was dedicated on July 4, 1905. The original teaching facility no longer exists, and takes place today in a building dedicated in 1955. The [[Saint Edward Catholic School]] reached its maximum enrollment in 1964 with 363 students enrolled, many of them bussed from the new [[Little Rock Air Force Base]].

The church is heavily adorned with art. The main oak and onyx altar has sculpted into it depictions of Saint Edward, Saint Catherine, and Saint Henry. On the walls are the 14 Stations of the Way of the Cross.

The church is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The architect of the building was [[Charles L. Thompson]].

Saint Edward Catholic School

George.Toombs:

Saint Edward Catholic School is a private elementary school established in September of 1885, a year after [[Saint Edward's Catholic Church]] was established. The School was originally taught by the local German settlers, but they were replaced by [[Olivetan Benedictine Sisters of Jonesboro]]. The school is now directed by a lay principal, Mrs. Theresa Hall, and it is taught by lay teachers. Before Mrs. Hall, the principal was Mrs. Vernell Bowen, who is now the Superintendent of Catholic Schools.
Located across from [[MacArthur Park]], the school grounds are made up of three buildings: a parish hall; the main building with most of the offices and classrooms, as well as a large gymnasium; and a smaller building used for kindergarten and pre-k. Between the main building and the church, there is a playground, and there is also a cafeteria in the basement of the church itself.
