Holy Family Church

Reeseville

On November 25, 1951, Holy Family Church celebrated its Golden Jubilee. On June 10, 1901, the cornerstone was laid. On that occasion, Very Rev. A. Morrissey, C.S.C., then president of Notre Dame University, presided over the ceremonies and delivered the address.

The blessing of the new church took place on December 5, 1901. Very Rev. A. Schinner, then Vicar General of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, represented the Archbishop and solemnly blessed the new church, dedicating it and its members to the patronage of the Holy Family. The task of undertaking the construction of the church in Reeseville was under the leadership of the Rev. J. P. Thillman, C.S.C., who was the first pastor of the parish.

During the fifty years of its existence, Holy Family Church has served the needs of the Catholic population of Reeseville and the surrounding countryside.
