In the booming, brawling Hurley area community of 1885 and 1886, the missionary priest Fr. Chrysostom was the first visiting presence of the Catholic Church.

In 1887 Father Gilbert Nuono gave the fledgling St. Mary’s parish its firm footing over the next 18 years. In 1891 St. Mary’s school opened to 120 students and served the Hurley community for nearly 100 years.

In 1905 the new Diocese of Superior was formed and one of the first requests that came to the new bishop was from Fr. Nuono to build a new church for St. Mary’s. The church with the cornerstone was laid in 1906 and wasn’t finished until 1908.

With the mines and the bustling lumber industry, Hurley had seen its heyday. With the decline of these economies, the Hurley area had become more dependent upon smaller industries, winter recreation and a service economy.

The church is actively recruiting and training parishioners to assume roles of leadership and ministry in our parish.

Whatever direction the Spirit leads us, we can be thankful for the faith and the efforts of those who have made St. Mary’s into what it is today.

St. Mary’s 300 plus family church has several involved organizations and ministries. We have dedicated lectors, Eucharistic ministers, altar servers and several lay ministers. We have an active communion distribution and prayer ministry for shut-ins and nursing homes.

We have an active music ministry, which is led by Jody DeCarlo-Schneider, Choir Director. The Religious Education Department is headed by Leone Sobrack.
