History
On June 23, 1850, on top of Grandad Bluff, Father James Lloyd Breck had celebrated the first Episcopal Holy Communion in the La Crosse area.[1] Christ Episcopal Church was founded in 1856.[2]
The congregation had a small neo-gothic church on the same site, but had outgrown it by the late 19th century. The present church was designed by M.S. Detweiler, though he died before its completion. His daughter oversaw its completion in 1899. The church was constructed using limestone from Grandad Bluff and was built in a Romanesque Revival style.[3]
Patrick Augustine served as rector for 16 years.[4]
