In 1870, Father Joseph Kraemer became pastor of a Catholic mission at Corunna that included all of Shiawassee County. In 1874 he assisted Antrim Township Irish Catholics in purchasing the Alling Schoolhouse, which he dedicated as a church. Father Kraemer traveled first from St. Johns and later from Owosso for Mass. In 1892 a church was built in Morrice. When the mission became a parish in 1926, it also had many German and Czechoslovakian members. The church burned in 1953 and was razed in 1962. The present church was dedicated in 1955.

NEW: Instructions for logging Missing Marker Visits.
If the Marker is missing, but still listed here, you must provide a photo of you at the actual item historically honored. (This should be the waymark's "default" image). Indicate in your log that you took your photo at the Historical Location instead of the marker, because the marker was missing. Please also still include a bit about your visit to the site.
