    Parish Priest - minister 
    • The congregation was organized in 1847 by Father Funcken who was in charge until 1852 He was succeeded by the following Jesuit Priests: Fathers Fritsch, Caving, Sadler, Eoner, Fritzni, and Ritter.

      The first Parish Priest was Rev. Father Columban Messener,of the Capuchin order, who had charge of the son's of the parish from 1852 to 1866. He was a man of progressive ideas and it may be said to his credit that it was mainly through his instrumentality and forethought that the church was placed upon a more enduring foundation and given a position for increased strength.

      From October, 1866 to 1870, Father Elward Glomalski, C. R, was in charge. From August, 1870 to January, 1871, Father Elenar, CR presided. He was succeeded by Father Francis Breitkoft, C R, who had charge of the Parish from 1871 to 1881. From January, 1881 to 1897, Father Gehl was in charge. In September, 1897, Rev. Father George Brohman was transferred from Formosa and is at present the resident priest.
