Text-to-speech Audio
The church was dedicated on
October 5, 1910 and the bell
tower was finished a year later.
Land was donated by Charles
and Delia LaRouche. It is
believed it cost $2000 to build.
Families pledged either labor or
$100 to build the church. The adjoining Rectory was
completed in 1918. Renovation of the church interior
was done in 1973 to implement Vatican II changes and
redecorating was again done in 1992. The shrine in
honor of the Blessed Mother was donated by Felix and
Julie Milfeld in 1964. The church is now of the Stella
Maris Parish which includes northern Door County
Catholic Churches.
