St. Boniface Catholic Church, Stuart Nebraska
St. Boniface Parish
Stuart, Nebraska
Established in 1899, this Catholic parish celebrated its centennial in August of 1999, still going strong and well attended today by many Stuart area residents.
Before 1890, the early Stuart Catholics had to travel to the St. Joseph Church in Atkinson, about ten miles east, to attend Mass; once a month, when Father Edward Engelbrecht came from Atkinson to celebrate Mass, the residents could attend church closer to home. In 1890, the Catholics purchased the old District 44 School Building in Stuart, and Mass was held there until 1897. Then Father Emil Klemenz of Atkinson guided the Stuart mission parish in the building of a new frame church at a cost of about $1400.00. In 1899, Bishop Richard Scannell of Omaha made St. Boniface an independent parish, and Father Anthony Birnbach became its first pastor. In 1911, a new brick church was built to replace the frame structure. The older wooden frame church was moved to Newport, Nebraska, about nine miles west, where it served that parish for many years. Finally, this frame church building was moved to Bassett, Nebraska, where it can now be seen in the City Park in the pioneer exhibit.
Early pastors of St. Boniface Catholic Church were:
- Father Anthony Birnbach, ordained 1896; served August 13, 1899 to May 1, 1901; died August 8, 1941.
- Father Charles Breitkopf, served May 1, 1901 to May 8, 1907; died February 24, 1942
- Father Julius Hettwer, served May 10, 1907 to August 1, 1917; died about 1950
- Father John W. Jungels, ordained 1884, served August 1917 to July 1930; died October 12, 1944
- Father John P. Hilt, ordained 1919; served August 3, 1930 to July 5, 1946; died April 26, 1971
- Father Anthony J. Paschang, ordained 1927; served July 5, 1946 to 1975; died April 16, 1982 and buried in St. Boniface Cemetery
From this parish, three priests had vocations:
- Father Leopold Blaschko offered his first Mass at St. Boniface on April 10, 1917
- Father Joseph L. Kaup offered his first Mass at St. Boniface on September 23, 1943
- Father Adrian Laible offered his first Mass at St. Boniface on May 29, 1958
Many young women from this parish chose vocations.

St. Boniface Parish established a parochial school early on. In 1906, Mrs. Valentin Krieg taught in the school until 1908, when the School Sisters of St. Francis came to Stuart to take over the teaching duties; they have remained at this school since then. The first nuns who taught were Sr. Concordia (Superior), Sr. Hortensia (teacher) and Sr. Thecia (homemaker). In 1912 the school held classes in the basement of the church; in 1962 a new school, which is in use today, was built and dedicated.
The School Sisters of St. Francis, who came 1908, lived on the second floor of the first school building where there was no plumbing, central heat, or electricity. In 1920, a private residence was purchased by the parish, and in 1921 the nuns took up residence there, where they remained until 1995. In 1995, this convent was sold, arid is now a bed and breakfast, appropriately called "The Sister's House".

Book - "Grandchildren of the Pioneers Vol 1" by Marie Kramer
ISBN: 0-7414-2209-3 ©2004
Price: $16.95
Book Size: 5.5 x 8.5, 268 pages
Category/Subject: Biography/Historical
Abstract:
The Grandchildren of the Pioneers I, a collection of true episodes, was gleaned orally from various Nebraska residents. They were born during the 1910s, '20s, and '30s, and as toddlers they sat on the laps of the original pioneers. They saw the changes from horse-drawn buggies to cars and airplanes, from ankle-length skirts to much skimpier styles, and from raising all their own foods to supermarkets and fast-food vendors.
This book spans flapper days, the Great Depression, World War II, and the Blizzards of 1949, taking the grandchildren of the pioneers from babyhood to early adulthood.
