Information:
Sheboygan is located 50 miles north of Milwaukee on the shores
of Lake Michigan, was settled primarily by German, Irish and Dutch
immigrants in the 1840s and 1850s. Jewish settlers arrived in the
1880s from an area east of Vilnius in the region that is today
Belarus. Other Lithuanians, their interest aroused by friends already
in the United States, followed. Sheboygan became a destination
because its numerous growing industries, chair factories in particular,
provided well paying jobs. By 1903, the Lithuanian Catholic community
in Sheboygan had grown sufficiently that a congregation for Lithuanian
-speaking Catholics was formed, with 35 families and 50 individuals
as members; the name
Immaculate Conception Church was chosen. The first pastor
was Rev. Casimer Ambrozaitis. Church members were buried at Calvary
Cemetery until land for the parish cemetery was purchased in 1929.
Location:
Weeden Creek Road (County Road EE), between South 12th Street and Lake Shore
Drive, Sheboygan, Wisconsin.
