History
St. Mary's Church in Marienthal was founded by German Volga immigrants to the area in the late 1800s. The name "Marienthal" means "the valley of Mary" after the name of the village in the Volga region of Russia from which many of the families emigrated. In 1893 the first church was constructed and it was served by priests from Olmitz. Diocesan clergy served there until 1905 when Capuchin friars began to serve a five-county mission district from Marienthal. A new church was dedicated in 1977.
