From THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN WISCONSIN: The year 1847 brought the first Catholic settlers to the vicinity of what is now Saukville, Ozaukee County, Wisconsin. Though but few in numbers these people were conscientious and devout Christians, and it was not long before there were afforded spiritual consolidation by the occasional visits of Father Francis Prendergast, who celebrated Mass in one or another of the private dwellings in the settlement. After his departure Father Bradley visited the Catholics in this neighborhood also, saying Mass in private dwellings. Nine year from the advent of these people into Ozaukee County, a meeting was held by the Catholics for the purpose of forming a congregation. At its assemblage, which occurred February 24, 1856, Father Seif being present, a solution was prepared requesting the consent of the Bishop, the Rt. Rev. John Martin Henni, for the erection of a church at that place. In spite of their many efforts, however, it was a number of years before the Catholics at Saukville were enabled to worship God in their own church. The first effective move in this direction was in 1865, when the Rev. Father Rasch was sent as pastor. He was succeeded by the Rev. Father Strickner in 1866, who remained about one year, when he was succeeded by the Rev. Joseph Woissem. This pastor built the first Catholic school at Saukville, and remained, administrating to the spiritual wants of the people and improving the property of the parish, whenever such opportunity occurred, until May 1872, when Father Albers succeeded to the pastorate. He found the old church too small for the proper accommodation of the people, and so at once made arrangements for the erection of a larger and more desirable structure. This building, which is still in evidence, was dedicated in 1875. After a successful pastorate, covering a period of nearly ten years, Father Albers was succeeded by the Rev. J. Friedl, who came there in October, 1880, and remained for seven years. Then the Rev. Theodore Meyer became pastor of the congregation. During his pastorate, which lasted for nine years, he greatly improved the interior condition and appearance of the church, and also built and additions to the school house. Upon his transfer to the charge of St. Mary's Church at Racine, the Rev. P. Holfeltz, then pastor of St. Louis at Caledonia, was appointed to succeed him, assuming the duties in November, 1896. Societies organized in the congregation are: St. Bernard's Society, established in 1892; Christian Mothers' Society; Young Ladies Sodality; and Young Men's Sodality. The educational interests of the parish of the Immaculate Conception at Saukville, Ozaukee County, Wisconsin, have never been permitted to languish since the establishment of a parochial school a number of years ago. The present school at Saukville is in charge of school Sisters of St. Dominic from Racine, and the attendance numbers something over one hundred children. (1)

St. John The Baptist was officially recognized in 1872. The congregation existed since 1868. This German mission was assigned to Mater de Dolorosa Parish in Fredonia. Parish registrations were recorded in Latin beginning in 1872. From THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN WISCONSIN: The congregation of St. John the Baptist, at Waubeka, Ozaukee County, which is a mission of Mother of Sorrows congregation at Fredonia, was established about the year 1868. There are now about sixty families belonging to this congregation, where services are held every Sunday and all holy days. The members are all German. At one time, that is during the year 1878, a regular resident pastor was appointed to this congregation, but the expense incident upon such as undertaking were too much for the little community to maintain and so, perforce, the congregation became a mission to the church at Fredonia. There is one Catholic organization, the St. Ann's Society of Christian Mothers, associated with the members of St. John's, of which Mrs. Frantzen is secretary and Mrs. Elizabeth Watry is treasurer.

St. John was officially recognized in 1845 as an Irish Parish. Instructions were in English. From THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN WISCONSIN: As near as can be ascertained, the first Catholic settlers to locate in the neighborhood of Monches came there on September 2, 1842.

Services were first held at the home of William McGrath in the town of Erin by the Rev. Martin Kundig, in November, 1842. The same house is occupied at the present time by Joseph Whelan. In the fall of the following year, however, the congregation of St. John was established and a log church completed, the latter being duly dedicated by the Rev. Martin Kundig. This church was located where the present district school stands, [in Washington County] a little west of Joseph Whelan's residence. After Father Kundig came the Rev. Thomas Morrissey, who remained from 1845 to 1850. He was succeeded by the Rev. Patrick Callanan, from 1850 to 1851; the Rev. William O'Brian, from 1851 to 1852; the Rev P. Kernan, from 1852 to 1856; the Rev. Francis McGann, from 1856 to 1858; the Rev. John Tiernan, from 1858 to 1868; the Rev. T.J. Quinn, 1868 to 1869; the Rev. M. Hannon, from 1869 to 1870; the Rev.

The congregation at present consists [1896]of about one hundred families. Of Catholic organizations in this parish there are, an Altar Society, of which Mrs. J.J. O'Neil is secretary and Mrs. Dr. Donnelly, treasurer, and a League of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which was established in 1893, and has for its promoters the Misses Nellie Stapleton and Mary O'Neil and Mary Powell.

From THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN WISCONSIN: To St. Michael's congregation [St. Michael] is attached a mission called St. John of God, situated in the town of Farmington. Prior to the year 1877, this mission has been attended by the reverend pastors from Barton and St. Peter's. Since 1877, however, the rector of St. Michael's has held regular weekly services there. The congregation at one time numbered upwards of fifty families, but in later years, from one cause or another, has been reduced to about thirty families, or one hundred and twenty communicants. (3) From FOOTPRINTS THROUGH FARMINGTON: St. John of God was organized as an Irish Congregation in 1859. The land on which the church, school and convent was donated to the Milwaukee Diocese in 1866 by William Riley family. In the 1850s and 1860 the congregation listed over fifty Irish families. Parish registers were recorded in Latin and registrations began in 1859. It is believed the first church building was constructed in 1860. A field stone convent (two story) and a school (one story) were built about 1868; walls 18 inches thick. The convent housed the teaching sisters Sisters of St. Agnes and boarded some pupils. These building were demolished in 1995. In 1858 the parish school became District #8 School for the Town of Farmington following an agreement between the Town, The Milwaukee Diocese and the parish that permitted the school to operate as a public school and staffed by the Sister of St. Agnes for the next five years after which lay teachers were employed. But it seems that the presence of the sisters habits was not desirable. Catholic students were instructed in religious lessons over in the convent. The school was closed in 1906. From 1860 to 1877 St. John of God was attended by the pastors of the Barton and Newburg. In 1877 responsibility for the parish was transferred to St. Michael Parish in St. Michael. The original church building was replaced with a cream brick Gothic Revival structure in 1890. In 1997 masses were held on Saturday evenings. (1)

St. Joseph was officially recognized in 1856. Instructions were in English. Parish registrations recorded in Latin and English began in 1856. From THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN WISCONSIN: St. Joseph's congregation at Grafton, Ozaukee County, was first organized on November 7, 1849. From that time until 1860, it was attended at different intervals by the resident pastors of surrounding parishes and other priests who in their journeys passed through that neighborhood. In the year 1860, however, the Rev. William Storr was appointed first resident pastor of St Joseph's, and as such remained until the latter part of 1865. He then resigned, and on May 31, of the year following the Rev. Father Schraudenbach assumed the pastorate. During the interval preceding this date, and the departure of Father Storr, the congregation was attended by neighboring priests, although the names of such, or the location at that time, is not a matter of record. Father Schraudenbach continued at Grafton until September 9, 1866, and was succeeded on the 3rd of the month following by the Rev. Father Strickner, who remained until 27 January, 1868. The pastorate was then vacant until June 25 when the Rev. Father Durst was appointed. He, however, left on October 11, his successor, the Rev. J.N. F. Moes, taking up his residence at Grafton on December 1. He left again July 7, 1869. It was during this year that the second church was erected at the mission of St. Francis Xavier. From September 16, 1870, to December 26, 1873, the Rev Father Gstach was pastor of St. Joseph's, his successor for a short period being the Rev. Father Marshall. From 1873 until 1876 the Rev. S. Woelfl was pastor, and from 1876 to 1880 the Rev. B. Ambauen maintained the charge. Being followed by the Rev. Phillip Vogg, who resided at Grafton from May 11, 1887 to Jul 5, 1895. Then the present pastor, the Rev. Ign. Pronold, assumed the pastorate.. For two weeks preceding the arrival of Father Pronold, the duties were assumed by the Rev. Father Drees, who however, owing to failing health was compelled to discontinue the work. The present congregation of St. Joseph's consists of about sixty families. There is a parochial school connected with this parish, which is conducted by a lay teacher, and has a regular attendance of thirty-five pupils. (4)
