Our Lady of the Holyland Parish

Our Lady of the Holyland Parish Churches of Holy Cross in Mt. Calvary, St. Cloud in Saint Cloud, St. John the Baptist in Johnsburg, St. Joseph in St. Joe & Visitation of the BVM in Marytown, WI.

Welcome to the page of Our Lady of the Holyland Parish. Our parish includes the churches of Holy Cross in Mt. Joe & Visitation of the BVM (St. Mary) in Marytown, WI. These five Roman Catholic churches are located in the northwest corner of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. The area became known as "The Holyland" because of the faith of these German immigrant farm communities and the spires of

the churches that were built on the highest hill in each of these communities. They share as their founder Father Casper Rehrl, the "Apostle to the Holyland." St. John the Baptist was founded in 1841 and is the oldest Catholic parish between Milwaukee and Little Chute, WI. Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary was founded in 1849. Holy Cross began in the log chapel of St. Nicholas in 1849. Out of this original church would eventually form Holy Cross, St. Cloud and St. Joseph parishes. In 2010 they came together to form St. Isidore the Farmer Parish until they merged with St. John & St. Mary to form Our Lady of the Holyland Parish on July 1, 2021. Join us as we continue to build up the Kingdom of God!

Another fun Carlo Acutis event for High School students. Last year, we had pizza and hiked up the SLS hill to watch his movie with the students. This year let's head to the Shrine of Our Lady of Champion. The cost is only $20 for the day, and the featured speaker (Oscar Rivera) will be amazing. More info here: https://championshrine.org/youth-day/ Contact Sheila Skiff if interested in participating or driving.
