Church History
German immigrants desiring to practice Catholicism in their native language
founded St. Joseph’s
Parish in 1863. Father John Ehrenstrasser became
the first pastor in 1865. This handsome brick and stone church, the second
house of worship for the parish was constructed at a cost of $30,000 and
dedicated on October 13, 1897 by Bishop Casper H. Borgess.
While St. Joseph’s
tranquil interior has seen several changes, its stately exterior has been
altered only slightly over a century.
