About St. Nazianz, Wisconsin

St. Nazianz is a village of 714 people in Manitowoc County. In 1854 Father Ambrose Oschwald, a Roman Catholic priest, led 113 German emigrants out of the Black Forest of Baden in search of religious freedom. They sailed on the Feast of Corpus Christi aboard two ships, whose crossings took 52 and 55 days, and several of them had died by the time the group reached Milwaukee by train.

Oschwald bought 3,840 acres in Manitowoc County at $3.50 an acre, paying $1,500 down and the rest in five installments. In late August he sent six men ahead. They went by boat to Manitowoc, by oxcart to where Valders stands today, and then hacked a path through thick forest, reaching the land on August 27 and naming it for Gregory of Nazianzus. Oschwald arrived with more men on September 1, and they cleared ground and raised log houses. Their hand-built church, 32 by 24 feet, was half done by October 21, when Oschwald said the first Mass in it.

“Residents who were in St. Nazianz as the storm hit said that it went from noon light to midnight darkness in a matter of seconds.”

  • Everything shared until 1896The settlers called themselves The Association. They owned everything together and worked without wages, and within a few years they had shops and mills. Members worked as blacksmiths, carpenters, masons, shoemakers, tailors, coopers, rope makers, tanners, weavers, brick makers and brewers. The shared life lasted until 1896, when Salvatorian priests and brothers came to the village. They and the Salvatorian sisters built up the old association's property and put up St. Ambrose Church in 1898.
  • Father Oschwald's shrineOschwald went on to start religious groups of his own, including the Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity, as well as a brotherhood called the Oschwald Brothers. When he died on February 27, 1873, he was buried beneath the altar in the Loreto Monastery's old St. Ambrose Church. Much later, his remains were taken to a shrine next to the Loreto Shrine Chapel, which joined the National Register in 1982.
  • The storm of May 12, 2000Just before noon, a storm first taken for a tornado tore along U.S. Route 151, and meteorologists later called it a thunderstorm super cell moist microburst. Winds were reported at 120 mph, and hail fell from golf ball to baseball size. St. Nazianz and Chilton were hit hardest, with many houses destroyed. Damage across the area came to $122 million, the first Wisconsin storm to pass $100 million, yet no one died, and the village has largely rebuilt.
