Howell near the airport. I seem to recall that it and Old St. Mary's were considered two of the oldest churches in Milwaukee. I had been to Mass in both years ago and they were similar inside if memory serves.GORhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14313101159848740722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4531248303954963098.post-71317698649157564622012-01-21T09:52:51.947-06:002012-01-21T09:52:51.947-06:00Very interesting, thanks!Very interesting, thanks!Badger Catholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05389147035157025445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4531248303954963098.post-40317951916119847722012-01-21T05:49:27.473-06:002012-01-21T05:49:27.473-06:00oh yes the altar rail is still there (last I saw) ...oh yes the altar rail is still there (last I saw) and it actually is built into the confessional (some good symbolism there.)<br /><br />Another interesting fact, King Ludwig of Bavaria donated money and artwork towards this Church (and St. Francis Seminary.)<br /><br />The older wooden church mentioned in this article is in fact St. Peter's which was at one time our Cathedral. That building had an interesting history (connections to Milwaukee founder Solemon Jueano, being moved around many times and for many uses etc.) It now can be seen at Old World Wisconsin in Eagle and is a great representation of a mid-19th century frontier Catholic Church. <br /><br />There was another rather old wooden Church in Milwaukee(maybe it was called St. Joseph's) that I think was destroyed in the 1970s.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4531248303954963098.post-72928998139120676302012-01-20T15:59:36.943-06:002012-01-20T15:59:36.943-06:00This church is just a couple blocks from me!

The interior and exterior are pretty much the same, I can't remember if the altar rail is still there but for the most part, the church wasn't wrecked. It is beautiful in color as well:) I will try to get pictures one of these weekends...Virginia Zignegohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03468136534192149058noreply@blogger.com
