Our HistoryPrince of Peace Parish was created in 2004 with the merger of Holy Martyrs of Gorcum, Green Bay, and Holy Trinity, Pine Grove, parishes. Over the next four years, the congregation of about 1,300 families built a new church at 3425 Willow Road, Bellevue. It seats 980 and has space for worship, gathering, offices and a fellowship hall. It was dedicated on August 3, 2008 by Bishop Robert Banks.
Holy Martyrs of Gorcum began in 1858 when Bishop John Henni of Milwaukee appointed Fr. Smitting to begin work in the Preble and Upper Pennisula territory. The first settlers in this area were Flemish Belgians and Germans, one of whom was Peter Faenger. The first Mass was offered in his home. A small, log church was built on 10 acres that he donated. Mass was offered one Sunday a month. The country road in front of the church and the public grade school that was later built were both named for Mr. Faenger, which is why the church was known as the "Finger Road Church." The parish was named after the Holy Martyrs of Gorcum, a city in the Netherlands. The martyrs were 19 priests and other religious who gave lives for their faith. Priests from Bay Settlement administered to the parish. Fr. Edward Daems oversaw the building of the first rectory for the parish in 1867. The first resident pastor was Fr. Anthony Van Groote!, appointed in 1869. The log church was replaced in 1883 and that stood until the parish was closed in 2008. The parish hall was built in 1958. The school began in 1967 for grades one through six. A convent was added for eight sisters from the Sisters of St. Francis of the Holy Cross, Bay Settlement Today, Prince of Peace Parish is part of the Green Bay Area Catholic Education system (GRACE). In 1987, an outdoor shrine to the Holy Family and the Holy Martyrs of Gorcum was built. Holy Trinity Parish grew out of a German/ Polish settlement in Pine Grove. Residents traveled to Cooperstown to attend Mass until the late 1870s when it became clear the area needed its own church. About this time, a Polish church o the comer of Crooks and Baird streets in Green Bay, St. Stanislaus Kostka, was closed and for sale. The diocese purchased it in 1875. The Pine Grove congregation bought it in 1880. They paid $10 to the Andrew Podlasik family in 1881 for three acres on which to put their church. There was disagreement over its location and construction was held up for two years. By this time, weather damaged the church supplies. Eventually, a new church, dedicated to the Most Holy Trinity, was dedicated on Dec. 9, 1883. Fr. Augustine Rossochowicz celebrated the first Mass after the dedication. Several priests served the parish before its first pastor, Fr. John Gratza, arrived in 1892. An addition to the church was built in 1907. A new church was built in 1969. - Credit of the Green Bay Diocese History book |
