Our Story

St. Victoria was established as a parish in 1857 by our early pioneers and shortly thereafter a small wooden church was built. They chose Saint Victoria as the patron saint of this church as she was a favorite saint from their homeland. Throughout the early years European immigrants flocked to this area in large numbers and found not only a land rich in resources, but for many a new found freedom for their faith. As the population increased in the area a larger church was built of brick in 1870, which is the historic church that you still see today. In 1857 there were perhaps 32 Catholic households in Victoria. By its centennial in 1957, there were 196 registered homes. In the decades since the area has continued to grow. So once again, construction commenced in May of 2003 on another larger worship space which today is the new church that you see complementing the historic church. In 2007 we celebrated the 150th Anniversary of the founding of St. Victoria Catholic Church. As of October 1, 2011, there are now 1,133 registered households and counting. St. Victoria’s community of faith cultivates more than 60 volunteer ministries which focus on reaching out to others as the face and hands of Jesus. As it has been and will continue to be, the richness of its land, people and faith continues to draw many from near and far to gather at St. Victoria. As we step forward on this journey of faith we know that God, the giver of all good gifts, will bless our work.
