The "new" church was built between 1868 and 1870. Nearby stands a tiny chapel built by the colonists themselves as the first community project of the Alsatian pioneers. The chapel is on the grounds of adjacent Moye Retreat Center, a former convent and boys military school. St Louis Day church festival is celebrated annually, usually on the closest Sunday to August 25. Visitors are welcome.
