They were visited by Bishop Loras and priests from Dubuque, Rickardsville, Holy Cross, and New Vienna for the celebration of Mass and the sacraments in the homes of John Behr, John Christmas, John Hirsch, and Mathias Michels. As they were ten oxcart miles from the Dubuque cathedral, thirty-two of these faithful Catholics met on March 28, 1852, to form a parish and build a log church dedicated to Saint William. The total cost was $96.93. Bernard Clauss and Adam Haberkorn were the leaders in organizing the parish. Frank Stillmunkes and Nicholas Fries prepared the logs and shingles for the church, which was raised by the efforts of the whole community.”

The Methodists worshipped in Liberty School, the Baptists in Old Springbrook, but the Catholics gathered in homes when a missionary visited them. Sometimes his coming was announced with a cannon shot. When the Catholic population reached about 40 families in 1864, they organized a parish, which was later named for Saints Peter and Paul.”
