I graduated from St. Mary's in 1958 (Juresich), my grandmother was buried from there in 1964 (Sophie Schweitzer) and I had a niece get married there in the 1980's. I last visited in 2007. I love St. Mary's and was sorry I couldn't attend the 175 years celebration.

 I am a descendent of the German people -- the Gies -- who came from Neustadt Hessen in 1830 and subsequently founded your church. I just found this out and was delighted to see a picture of the original church on your website.

I BELIEVE THAT MY ANCESTORS WHO CAME FROM
GERMANY (PRUSSIS) BACK AROUND 1860 WERE AMONG
SOME OF THE FIRST PARISHONERS. MY MOTHER
RESEARCHED THE FAMILY IN 1970 AND CAME DOWN
TO LOOK AT RECORDS. HER INFORMATION WAS LOST
AND NOW TWO OF ARE TRYING TO REDO THE HISTORY.

I visited your church on December 12 in 1942, the day of my Baptism! My grandfather, Joseph W Brady, whose bother James Brady fouinded the Goodfellow organization and whose statute is on Belle Isle, took me for a visit to the church around 1944. While kneeling in front of the altar under the crucifix, my gandpa asked me to ask Jesus "if He loves Joe Brady?" I asked Him! Then grandpa asked me, "Well, what did He say? I said..."NO!" Being Irish and feeling guilty for his faults, my grandfather NERVER got over that visit to Old St Mary's. In 2003, I hoped to visit the church but it was already closed. Therefore we made a visit to the casino!!

Thank you for posting the photo of the first St. Mary's Church. My Great great grandparents, Joseph Anderhalt and Rosina Bernard were members first of St. Anne's then St. Marys with all of their children being baptised and married in the two churches. The first child being baptised at St. Mary by Rev. Kundig on 18 July 1837. Are there any other old photos of the inside of the church you could post?

Every Easter weekend we make a trip downtown to see the beautiful flowers for Easter at the alter. What a peaceful feeling you get when you enter the church and sit in the pews and look around. The Lord is really making his presence known. Praise God!

My daughter and future son-in-law are members of OSM, and I am so proud of them that they chose this church to be the base of their marriage. I know that this is the BEST start they could possible have for their future life together. I join them whenever I can, and I actually brought my children here when they were young to experience the peace and awe of God's gift in OSM

I got to mass quite early yesterday evening, before lights were on and only a couple people in the pews. It was quiet and candle lit. I have never felt so at peace or in the Lord's presence as I did yesterday at that time. This is why I know this is my church. Yes, it's a beautiful work of art and pretty to see. But there's also a sense of peace that overcomes you here that cannot be explained in words or pictures.
