St. Mary History - Part 3
Part III…A History of St. Mary: The location of the parish on its present site and the building of the first church in 1894.
By Betty Markey
About 10 o’clock one morning, in the summer of 1894, a vehicle drove up to our gate and a priest got out of it. The vehicle drove off and the priest came into our house and introduced himself. He was Father Joseph I. Klein. He had been sent by Bishop N.A. Galleger (Gallagher) to take charge of the church and congregation of Plantersville. He had said Mass in the church that morning, and would like to have something to eat. Fortunately we had some cake on hand and plenty of sweet milk. He assured us that he was very fond of both and it would be quite sufficient.
