• The Rev. Oscar William Gerhardus

The Rev. Father Oscar Gerhardus began his work in St. Veronica in October, 1910, and remained as pastor of this parish until his death in 1927. During his seventeen years of constant effort, St. Veronica congregation grew to such numbers that the combination Church and School would no longer adequately serve the needs of the parish. In 1923, under the direction of Father Gerhardus the basement Church was finished: this Church would seat six hundred people. In order to supply this need the parish incurred a serious debt, which was only paid off many years later.  After a lingering illness, Father Gerhardus died August 1, 1927. After the death of Father Gehardus the Rev. Wyman, C.P.P.S., was appointed administrator of the parish. He remained in this capacity for eight months.
