CUBA CITY — Venerable Fr. Samuel Mazzuchelli died on February 23, 1864.
In recognition of the 150th anniversary of his death, the students of St. Rose of Lima Catholic School in Cuba City presented the play Medicine for Wildcat on Wednesday, Feb. 26, at St. Rose Church.
The play details the events in Father Mazzuchelli’s early missionary days in the Wisconsin Territory.
Father Mazzuchelli is credited with starting several parishes in the area including St. Rose in Cuba City, St. Patrick Parish in Benton, and the Cathedral of St. Raphael in Dubuque, Iowa.
