History

Sebastian Messmer, Bishop of Green Bay, acquired the property of the former St. Stanislaus Kostka Church in 1898 and rededicated it to St. Mary of Czestochowa, intending it to serve the Polish American population of Green Bay. The following year, he offered it to the Polish Franciscan Fathers of Pulaski, who rededicated the church and monastery to St. Mary of the Angels in 1900, after the church in Assisi.^[3]
