Construction began in early June, 1888, and was completed in September, 1889. An addition was made on the east side of the building between June 1, 1910 and March 1, 1911. This addition went unrecorded in the newspapers of La Crosse and no drawings for this addition have been found. However, historic photographs show this addition under construction and are dated. A large addition was made on the north end of the original building between December 1, 1931 and April 21, 1933.
The original portion of the building was built on lots 3, 4, and 5, of Block 32 of the original plat of La Crosse. These lots were purchased by the United States in 1886, from Mrs. G.A. Hayden and George Farnum. The addition of 1931-33 is on lots 1 and 2 of Block 32 of the original plat of La Crosse. These lots were purchased from the Knights of Columbus Building Association. A large house owned by Charles Seymour occupied these two lots until the addition of 1931-33.

Date added:November 20, 2009
This is the oldest Catholic church in Milwaukee with the exception of a small wooden chapel dedicated to St. Peter, which stood on or near the present cathedral and is now restored on the grounds of St. Francis's Seminary. The cornerstone was laid by Bishop Henni on Whit-Sunday, April 19, I846. The dedication took place on September 12, I847.
The present form of the church is largely the result of major alterations made in 1866 by Victor Schulte, architect, in which the school which occupied a lower floor was eliminated, the east end of the church enlarged, the main auditorium lowered to ground levels the lower windows bricked-up, and the entire facade enlarged and rebuilt together with the tower.
