Who we are

OUR VISION

We, the members of Baraga County Catholic Community, are three parishes in one family. We seek daily for the grace of God poured out in prayer and the sacraments to be the-best-version-of-ourselves both as individual believers and as a fellowship of the Body of Christ. seek the lost by our hands-on outreach and unwavering evangelization efforts. Our one aim is to advance the kingdom of God by living the motto of Venerable Bishop Frederic Baraga to do all we do for the greater glory of God, which is the "one thing necessary".

Sacred Heart of Jesus History

Prior to 1871, one large settlement called L'Anse consisted of the present day L'Anse, Baraga and Assinins. Assinins was the original center of activity and the site of Bishop Frederic Baraga's mission in the area.

Present day L'Anse received its first church in 1872. One of the Bishop Baraga's successor priests in the region, Father Gerhard Terhorst, quickly recognized the booming economy in L'Anse and began construction of a wooden church and a three-room rectory there. This first church was dedicated to St. Joseph. From 1872-1886 Father Terhorst traveled from Assinins to L'Anse to offer Mass every Sunday. In 1886 L'Anse received its first resident pastor, Father Anatole O. Pelisson.

Despite a rapid succession of priests in the early years, the parish membership continued to increase. A larger, stone church--the one in use today--was constructed in 1894. This structure was originally dedicated to St. Joseph, but the name was later changed to Sacred Heart.

The church had to be rebuilt in 1912. A fire on January 30 left only the stone walls standing. In 1925 the present church was remodeled and enlarged and a sacristy and chapel added. In the 1930s Father Albert Pelissier made alterations to the rectory. A new rectory was completed in 1967.

The first women religious to serve the parish were the Dominican Sisters from Adrian, Michigan, who offered the young people a summer religious education program from 1928 to 1936.
