The Catholic church was built in Mayville in 1950 and dedicated in June 1951 by the Most Rev. Leo F. Dworshak, Bishop of Fargo. The membership consists of fifty-five families. Rev. Frank Hannaher of Hillsboro, has served the Mayville church for the past four years.
The first mass in Mayville was read at the Thomas Kelly home in 1898. The first communion class met at the home of John Reinhardt in 1906.
In 1926 the Episcopal church building was rented, and mass read once a month by Rev. J. G. Garland.
Rev. Ulric J. Proeller, who came to Hillsboro in 1945, helped the Mayville Mission purchase its first property, the former Skarperud Funeral Home, where the first Mission was held in October 1947. This served until the present new church was built in 1950.
