Inscription. Our forefathers brought with them a fervent Catholic faith, low-German language and many traditions. The first Catholic church in Minster was built in 1835. The pioneers erected a log structure forty by sixty feet and sixteen logs high, in the North Park. The present St. Augustine Catholic Church, built in 1848, still stands as a sentinel keeping watch over our community. Our faith has seen us through both good and difficult times.
