Biographical / Historical

In 1861 the first church was erected on the corner of North Street and Bauer Court. The first Resident Pastor was father Puetz. In 1868 the first school was built onto the back of the church.

Due to the need for a larger church, a second church was started in the late 1880's and was completed in 1892. The old church was converted into a school, adding to the school that was already at the back of this building. In 1908 a new school and convent were built. A one-story building was built in 1979 to be used for additional school facilities.
