The Parish
Bishop Regis Canevin founded St. Athanasius Parish April 25, 1907 and named Father A.M. Yochum the first pastor. The first church-school building was dedicated on June 6, 1909. The new parish quickly outgrew its facilities necessitating the building of a new church and school.
The present church, built under the leadership of Father August Vogt was dedicated on May 2, 1943. Father Tomas Lappan directed the building of the new school in 1957.
Throughout its 100-year history, Saint Athanasius has continued to grow and flourish. Today we count almost 2,000 families with 5,000 members and some forty active committees and organizations. We take great pride in our parish as is reflected in the vibrancy of our church and community center programs.
