St. Francis was first known as "Ulrich's Parish" because the worship services were held in the home of Jacob Ulrich.
The first church was built in about 1909 under the leadership of Father Palm.
The parish was closed from 1927 to 1934. It reoped as a Mission of St. Francis from 1934-1939.
The original church building was destroyed by a fire on 2 November 1937.
The building was reconstructed, but again the steeple was struck by lightning on 13 July 1948, and the entire structure destroyed.
A third church was built and consecrated by Bishop Klein in July 1958.
The Mission of St. Francis was closed in the fall of 1963. The church was later sold and dismantled.
