St. Wenceslaus Church Detroit, Michigan 1910 In 1910--The Bohemians of Detroit established St. Wenceslaus' parish in 1871, under the directorship of Rev. Wenceslaus Tilek. This pastor built the church and remained with the community until 1873, when he was succeeded by Rev. Frank Ticky, who presided over the parish affairs until 1877. He built the rectory. From 1877 to 1884 the Franciscan Fathers of the Sacred Heart administered to the spiritual wants of the congregation. In 1884, Rev. Wenceslaus Koerner took up the duties of the parish, and he built the school. In 1889, Rev. Joseph Janecek, now pastor of St. John of Nepomucence, took charge, and he remained with the congregation until 1909. While pastor of St. Wenceslaus, he erected the new church of St. John of Neopmucene, located at Ash and Lawton streets. After his retirement from St. Wenceslaus he was succeeded by the present incumbent, Rev. Peter P????ky, D.D. (page 27) |
