St Marys Parish History and Sacred Heart Church Timelines

The history traces St Marys parish origins from 1872 mass offerings by Father John Smith of Emmetsburg for four Catholic families, growth to 13 families by 1882, first church dedicated Our Lady of Grace, and a series of pastors through the early 20th century. Sacred Heart at Alvord builds church by 1891, expands in 1899 and 1913, faces a 1958 fire, redecorations, and a 1960 new church dedication, with Sacred Heart becoming a mission of St Marys by 1970, while parish life includes schools, cemeteries, and active Altar Society history.

Mass and parish origins in Coon Rapids hotel room

The first Mass in Coon Rapids proper was celebrated by Father Pape in a hotel room owned by HJ Mueller around 1880. An early church built for about 1850 dollars seated 100, lacked a sacristy, and allowed Mass behind the altar. Early parish members included the Mueller and Doran families among others, with missions and baptisms dating from 1845 to 1902. A brick school opened in 1916 under Pastor Wessling as a nine year term followed by expansion and the addition of a sacristy. the church and school milestones mark the growth of Annunciation parish through the early 20th century.
