PERRY — Members of Holy Redeemer Parish in Perry are celebrating their 150th anniversary this year.

In June, parishioners had a float in the Mt. Horeb Summer Frolic Parade. Riding on the float was Georgia Post, the oldest lifetime member of Holy Redeemer Parish. Joining her were parishioners Mary Sutter, Glenn Schwoerer, Mary Kay Sutter, Mitch Sutter, and Dan Hefty.

All of these families are part of the heritage of Holy Redeemer Parish, among many others.

Anniversary celebration

On Sunday, Aug. 7, there will be a 150th anniversary Mass at 2 p.m. at Holy Redeemer Church. A reception will follow the Mass.

There will be historical displays and church directories can be purchased. Burrows Consulting and Cemetery Service will also be available to help with geneology of the parish cemetery.

Early settlers

The early settlers came from Germany to farm in this area, which reminded them of their homeland.

The Town of Perry was established in 1849. The town was named after Commodore Perry of Lake Erie fame.
