St. Francis Borgia (Cedarburg) was officially recognized in 1846. Instructions were in English. Sacramental registrations were in Latin and began in 1846. From THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN WISCONSIN: The first Catholic church in Cedarburg was built of logs, fully fifty-three years ago. The location was about two miles distant from where the city now stands, and there the missionary fathers made occasional visits from the larger and more thoroughly established parishes. In 1852 the log church was replaced by a frame building which was in constant use until 1870. During these years the pastors attending this congregation were the Rev. Fathers Morrissey, 1844; Monaghan, 1846; Prendergast, 1849; Colton, Bradley, 1851; Tierney, 1853; Doherty, 1854; Mahoney, Jarmon, and McMahon. The present church, St. Francis Borgia, was built by the Rev. Hugh McMahon, now of Oconomowoc. The church is a fine stone edifice, situated at the head of Main Street, city of Cedarburg, and in the best possible location. Father McMahon was succeeded by the Rev. John Kinsella, who died in Franklin some years later. Following Father Kinsella came Revs. McFarland, now of Byron, P.H. Durnin of St. Rose's Milwaukee, M. Wrynn of Clyman, and F.C. Ryan of St. Mathew's, Milwaukee. There are six hundred members in the congregation. Father J.W. O'Keefe is the present rector was appointed December 15, 1895. Father O'Keefe also attends St. Mary's church at Jackson, as a Mission. (1) In 1843 Father Martin Kundig was associated with the building and naming of St. Francis Borgia log church. Father Kundig secured the land which was purchased from Thomas OBrien in the southeast quarter section of section 33 across the road from the cemetery in the now Mequon township. Before selecting the Village of Cedarburg as the location for the church, the congregation replaced the log edifice with a frame building on the original site in 1852. In the early days no one could tell where the village was going to be located and so the people placed the church in their midst. From 1851 to 1860 St. Bridget Mission was ministered by the pastor of St. Francis Borgia. The mission was located on what is now Country Aire Drive and Cedar Creek Road. The congregation was Irish. In 1860 the parishioners decided to build a new church and this they did at Country Aire Drive and Pleasant Vallly Road called Stauskes Corner at the time. The reason for the change was Cedar Creek which had to be crossed. At high water it was difficult if not impossible to do so. The new church was called St. Marys Church of the Immaculate Conception. Some time in the 1920s or so St. Mary Mission was closed. (4) (5) In 1852 a log church was replaced by a frame building which was dedicated by Bishop Henni in November. At the time the locality was known as Newland. (2)
