About Pilsen, Kansas
Pilsen is a community of 65 people in Marion County, about 7.5 miles north of Marion. Bohemian immigrants founded it in 1874 and named it for Plzeň, the Bohemian city that German speakers call Pilsen. Through the 1870s and 1880s, 46 Bohemian families of Czech and German descent settled the area on land they bought from the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway.
For its first decades, the community gathered around a general store about 1.5 miles south of where Pilsen stands today. When that store closed in 1902, Mr. and Mrs. Cerny put up a new two-story store at the present site, which moved the center of town there. They kept it running until 1944, and it was torn down in 1970. Pilsen also had its own post office from March 17, 1917, to March 8, 1957.
“how many churches are you going to build?”
- Church upstairs, rectory belowThe parish's first church, from 1888, was a two-story frame building. Mass was held on the upper floor and the priest lived on the floor below, and the building later served as a convent.
- A church built by volunteersFather John Sklenar, the first parish priest, laid the cornerstone of St. John Nepomucene Church in 1914. Brick came by the trainload from Kansas City to the Lincolnville station, and local volunteers helped hold the cost to about $30,000. The church rises 120 feet to a silver neo-Gothic dome, and an eleven-room rectory followed in 1924.
- Chaplain Emil KapaunEmil Kapaun was born in Pilsen on April 20, 1916, and went to Pilsen High School before graduating from Conception Seminary College in Missouri in 1936. In the early 1940s he came home to serve as a pastor at St. John Nepomucene, helping Father Sklenar. He became an Army chaplain, received the Medal of Honor and is a candidate for sainthood. Volunteers dedicated a statue of him at the church on June 3, 2001.
- Father Kapaun DayPilsen honors its most famous son every year on Father Kapaun Day, the first Sunday in June. A military pilgrimage comes to town each November.
