St. Teresa of Avila Parish

Father Kreusch was succeeded in 1851 by Father Peter Weber. His successor was Father John Van den Broeck in 1853. In 1854, Father Ringele returned to provide services to St. Teresa's Church once again, but was replaced by Father Englebert Raff in 1855. The year 1856 saw the return of Father Mathias Kreusch who remained as the pastor until 1858. It has been written that Father Kreusch became very fond of exceptionally long sermons, and would often wake up his congregation by tinkling a small bell. This is the point in history that must be marked as the end of the mission services provided by the Precious Blood Fathers.
