Bohemian settlers began construction 125 years ago on the first catholic church in the county, Saints Peter and Paul’s Catholic Church at the cemetery east of town. The church was moved to its present location in 1894 and was enlarged as it is today. In 1901, a second church was constructed and this parish, Sacred Heart, and Saints Peter and Paul’s combined in 1973 to form the present Resurrection of Our Lord parish.
