Old Saint Mary, Milwaukee

Our Parish Roots:

Old Saint Mary Parish and the City of Milwaukee, both established in 1846, are the same age. This pioneer parish stands as living testimony of the faith of Milwaukee’s early German Catholic immigrants. The church was designed by the renowned architect Victor Schulte who then went on to design the new cathedral and the new seminary for the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. The first Pastor was Fr. Michael Heiss, who became the second Archbishop of Milwaukee.

Replace the Pipe Organ

Our pipe organ is over 100 years old and near the end of its lifespan. To enhance the quality of our music ministry, we will use funds from this campaign to replace the pipe organ. The new organ will help us give praise and thanks to God through the gift of music.

Mission and Ministry Fund

Our parish remains in the heart of Milwaukee, and we have the call to minister to those most in need surrounding our church. Making the presence of Old St. Mary Parish more visible, we will support parish ministries and community organizations in which many of our parish members already serve by creating an Old St. Mary Outreach Fund. We hope this will strengthen our legacy of service in the community and draw new members into our spiritual family.
