St. Mary's Orthodox Church
Cornucopia, Wisconsin
St Mary Orthodox Church began to be organized in
1906, and was permanently established in 1909. Its founders were
Orthodox Christians of Slavic background. Most moved to the area with
the promise of land ownership and employment in the logging industry. As
their Orthodox Christian faith was essential to their lives, the
building of the Church community was a natural outcome. With the gradual
closing of the lumber industry, many families migrated to other parts of
the region, while some families stayed in the area.
Always having been a small parish, St Mary's nonetheless maintains a
regular seasonal worship schedule, and continues to attract worshippers
and tourists during the non-winter months. Set in the woods at the edge
of this Lake Superior village, St Mary Church of Cornucopia provides an
anchor of faith for its parishioners and a spiritual retreat for
travelers.
