B KERVILLE At last, Corpus Christi was to have its own resident pastor. In 1907, the Reverend John Schumacher was assigned to the parish. AI- though his pastorate lasted scarcely a year, it was he who built the present rectory. For the two following years the Rev. W. Hach- ner served the parish. His successor in 1910, the Reverend Anthony Mueller, labored zeal- ously at Corpus Christi for eighteen years. Father Mueller accomplished much. He built the present school in 1916 and engaglrd as teachers the Sisters of the Sorrowful Mo- ther whose Motherhouse is in Milwaukee. Four years later the church building was en- larged. After the brief pastorate of the Reverend Herbert Hoffmann, who followed Father Mueller, came the Reverend Joseph Willitzer, who administered the parish from 1929 to 1936, when he was replaced by the Reverend Arthur Cramer. During his thirteen years at Corpus Christi, Father Cramer made many improvements, among them the redecorating of the church. The Reverend J. J. Sheridan followed Father Cramer for a brief stay of several months. In 1950 the present pastor, the Reverend Garlan J. Muller, came to Corpus Christi from St. John's, Wuerzburg. He also serves St. Stephen's mission parish at Chili. '36 Sr' -f Rev. Garlan J. Muller Pastor 'Sr . his A -D -..Q ' xiii. c ., r .

SAIN '-1 ,f- . Stat . .MSM VV Nix.,-5 4 iiv Y fri: .-t.h...,,l itll St Andrew Church, Rozellvxlle -..-.l Aer... ANDREW Through the missionary zeal of priests in this section of Wisconsin, Holy Mass was offered for the first time in Rozellville in 1880, the 'following year, a modest frame building for services was constructed. Until 1892, the missionaries--among them the Right Reverend Monsignor Joseph .loch--had to tramp, in all kinds ot weather, through woodland, meadows, and marshland, com- ing from the Marathon City Mission and later from Marshfield, to minister to the people. October 1893 marked a new era for the parish. The Reverend Alois Schauenberg was assigned to St. Andrew's as first resident pastor, three years later the present church was built, The Reverend J. Gara, the Rev- erend H. Glaser, and the Reverend A. Miller continued the good work of Father Schauen- berg from 1898 to 1902, Progress continued during the pastorate of Father Trierweiler, 1902 to 1909, when the parish was incorporated. At that time too, the grade school was built which, since its inception, has been successfully conducted by the Franciscan Sisters ot Perpetual Adora- tion from La Crosse. , .
