Biographical / Historical
The first church was a small log cabin that Father Horstman had. The first mass was held on March 30, 1834. A new church was completed and dedicated on February 26, 1837 because of the arrival of new immigrants. With the new church they also built a log school with Father Horstman as the first teacher. Eight years later, the congregation got too large for the church and a third church was necessary. The new church was started in 1846 and completed in 1848. The forth and present church was completed in 1878 due to the need for a larger church.
