From THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN WISCONSIN: The congregation of St. Hubert at Richfield, Washington County, Wis., was first organized and a log church built in 1846. Prior to that time Catholics in this vicinity were attended as a mission of the St. Boniface congregation at Germantown, and for some considerable period subsequent to the building of the church their spiritual wants were ministered to from the same place. In 1854 the congregation of St. Hubertus (sic) obtained its first resident pastor in the person of the Rev. M. Pfeiffer. Who also attended St. Augustine's as a mission. Father Pfeiffer, resigned, after two years' pastorate, and in 1856 and was followed successively by the Revs. J.B. Haslbauer, B. Wiekmann, M. Hess, Father Strickner, A. Foeckler, J. Gambo, A.
