From The Catholic Church in Wisconsin: The congregation of St. Augustine was organized in 1846 at about which time a small church was built. Some years later this building was destroyed by fire but although the members of the congregation were in rather straight circumstances, they managed to raise sufficient funds to erect and complete a stone structure.
There are about fifty-five members in the congregation. The churches of St. Hubertus (sic) and St. Augustine were the first built in the town of Richfield. (3)
In 1895 the church catches fire. (2) In the year 1896 the congregation consisted of 55 members. (3)
At noon on 21 October 1922 the church burns down; parish is later dissolved, members assimilated into St. Mary of the Hill in Holy Hill.
