West Allis. Wisconsin. as they celebrate the churchs proud heritage and its 90th anniversary with a special Mass and dinner on March 21st. Shortly after the turn of the century. the steady expansion of farm and industrial machinery firms led many immigrants to the rolling fields and wideopen spaces of the city of West Allis. Satisfied with a sense of security and prosperity offered by West Allis. many Polish immigrants settled in the city. These men and women soon approached the Milwaukee Archdiocese for permission to erect a church and school in their own new neighborhood. one which would praise God in their native tongue and further teach and strengthen them and their growing families. In 1906. the Archbishop agreed to send the new parish a Polish speaking priest for their church and Polish speaking nuns for their school.
