In 1673, Father Marquette and his companion Louis Joliet would have gazed on the area of Cassville as they traveled down the Mississippi to the entrance for the Arkansas River. Then in the 1830's, Blessed Fr. Samuel Mazzuchelli ministered to families in southwestern Wisconsin. He did much to inspire the establishment of parishes in this area of Wisconsin along with other priests from Prairie du Chien and Potosi. The first Mass was celebrated in the Cassville area in 1852 and the parish was established in 1852. While St. Charles' wasn't officially established by Fr. Mazzuchelli, it continues his mission of bringing Christ and the sacraments to people in this historic area of Wisconsin.
Congratulations to Tanner Junk, Líam King, Xander Love, and Hadley Uppena, and who celebrated their First Holy Communion at St. Charles Church on Saturday, April 25.
