St. Willebrord’s began its ministry early in 1864. Abraham Lincoln was president … the end of the Civil War was still a year away … and much of Wisconsin was still an unsettled wilderness. Forty-seven Dutch and Flemish families from the De Pere area raised $1,200 to purchase our present location. The building then on this site had been a school, a town hall and a courthouse before being remodeled as our first church.
Throughout its 138 years, this Church of St. Willebrord has witnessed great events and undergone great change. In 2003, our congregation embraces over 1,600 families of remarkable diversity, talents and age groups.
St. Willebrord has multiple choirs. Each of the choirs are volunteers for each scheduled Saturday and Sunday Mass. Each weekend, there are 8 scheduled Mass' that use a Choir.
