| Description: | "This parish celebrates this year its golden jubilee, for which extensive preparations are being made. The corner-sgtone was laid August 23, 1846. Rev. Louis Huber, O.S.F., and after him, Rev. B. Hengehold, directed the building of the church. But the financial difficulties were discouraging. On June 13, 1847, a mass meeting was held at St. Mary's Church and a determination was made to help the new parish by subscription, etc. The dedication ceremonies were performed by Archbishop Purcell, May 21, 1848, though services had been held since the January previous in the uncompleted building. The school house was erected in 1865, the parsonage in 1872. ... The congregation numbers 200 families." | |
