Church History

The original St. Wenceslaus church sat on the corner of 1st and Sycamore streets, built in 1878. It was 50x30 feet, and only cost $1500 dollars to build. Once outgrown, the location of the church was moved to 2nd and Linden streets, where a new 26x70 church was built for $3600. In 1919 though, the church was again outgrown and an even bigger project was set to take off. The cornerstone of the current St. Wenceslaus church was blessed on October 11, 1921. Since then, the church has been renovated several times, but the original structure still stands.

Our Patron Saint

Saint Wenceslaus was the Duke of Bohemia from the year 921 to his death in 935. His father died when he was 13 and upon that was raised by his grandmother, Saint Ludmilla. In 935, Wenceslaus' younger brother Boleslav invited him to the feast of Cosmas and Damian. There Boleslav had three of his friends murder Wenceslaus on his way to church, succeeding him as Duke.
