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 changes, its stately exterior has been altered only slightly over a century.
