Old St. Mary's Church in Milwaukee, Wisconsin was built in 1846 and 1847. The parish was founded a year earlier, by German Catholic immigrants. It was the proto-German church of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. The city had been incorporated only the year before, and Wisconsin had not yet become a state.

Old St. Mary's was a beautiful venue for our daughter's wedding. We're members of a large suburban Catholic parish, with a large contemporary beautiful church building, but our daughter wanted to be married in a classical church building.
We are very glad that she and her now-husband made that choice.

Beautiful church!! We had our wedding here last Saturday (21 sept 2019), and everything was perfect! Randy did an excellent job organizing everything and making sure the wedding went smoothly.

You won't be...
