Fr. Samuel Mazzuchelli began his American ministry in 1828 and spent the next several decades building churches, organizing schools, and preaching throughout the Upper Mississippi and Great Lakes. His memoirs discuss missions among Native Americans and Canadians in Wisconsin and Michigan and among the new immigrants to Wisconsin and Iowa. In this excerpt, Mazzuchelli discusses how the formation of temperance societies has helped the Catholic church win converts.
