They had a big celebration and will be selling a book. They also have other items for sale. You should contact them. It was the early Catholic church for German families in the area and then when St. Boniface was built in Cold Spring some of the families attended that church. Also the Stearns County historical museum has some great genealogy records and copies of the German language papers for marriage and death announcements.
