History


Bishop Joseph Melchior was appointed the first bishop. When he arrived in Green Bay in the summer of 1868, he chose a modest, wooden frame church constructed by the German immigrants, located on Madison Street to be the "pro-Cathedral" which meant temporary until the present structure could be built. The church, formed in 1851, was named "The Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary" and was commonly called "St. Mary's" or the "German Church".

AIR CONDITIONER REPLACEMENT NEWS

Beginning Thursday, September 25th thru Friday, October 10th we will be replacing the 8 AC units in the Cathedral (those under the stations of the cross). The present units are 16 years old. Two of the units have been down all summer. Parts are no longer available for the units as the model brand is obsolete. The installation of the new units will take around 2 weeks. Small scaffolds will be set up in front of each unit during installation. To expediate the install we will close the Church during the week days. Wednesday’s 8:30AM masses (10/1 & 10/8) will be at SJE. Adoration will begin at 5:00PM, instead of 3:00PM. Friday’s 8:30AM masses will still be at the Cathedral as well as the Bishop’s taping of a mass after. The weekend masses (9/28 & 10/4) will still be at the Cathedral but some pew space will be lost due to the scaffolding. Funds to pay for these AC units will come from the 1 by 1 campaign. These funds were originally slated to replace the Chiller in the Cathedral Center. We are now short funds to replace that unit. Any help in this area is surely welcomed.

 

Please Note: If the Green Bay Public Schools are closed due to the weather,

No daily Mass, Adoration, or Confession will be held at Cathedral or St. John the Evangelist.
