ST. JOHN'S CATHOLIC CHURCH
The Rev. Claudius O.S.B., Rev. Beda O.S.B., and Father Bernard O.S.B., all figured in the early history of St. John's Catholic Church five miles north of Zeeland, a Russian German settlement dating back to 1885 when a small church was built there by Bernard Strassmeier O.S.B. Others to serve this parish when it was established as such in 1893 were: Fathers Schmitz, Joachim Widmer O.S.B., Fresenburg, Claudius Ebner,
Stephan Stenger, Stephan Landolt, Herman Decker, M.V. Mueller, E.J. Steinbach, N. Fox, J. P. Zimmerman,
J.B. Greiner, Heil, Leo Kaufman, Conrad Ludwig, Richard Fuetscher, Anton Anzic, Rev. Juljcike, and Rev. Victor Schill, the last resident pastor.
Rev. Va. Gross served St. John's Church as a mission pastor until the year 1971, when St. John's congregation merged with St. Andrew's congregation of Zeeland.
The church and church yard are being kept up for visitation purposes for the former parishioners as well
as the local people, to keep alive memories of a beautiful church in the South-Central part of North Dakota.
This church was the first Catholic Church of this vicinity. There is a service conducted in St. John's Church several times a year.
