St. Mary of the Assumption Catholic Church in String Prairie was established by German immigrants. The original church was erected in 1878, and the current church building was erected in 1901 adjacent to the original building. The church is now undergoing a full restoration and renovation, and is being expanded to accomodate the growth of our church community. The renovation brings back the vibrant colors of the church when it was built in 1901, and the steeple has been restored to its original height.
