People are coming out of the church and many people are standing outside still visiting after a Sunday church service. The church was built in 1928 and dismantled in 1968 after the congregation merged with the Methodist church in Hendricks Minnesota.

The north side of the Walgreen's warehouse stands next to Plymouth Congregational Church, Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Kidder House, purchased by the church in 1957, is in the back. The church acquired the Walgreen's warehouse in 1954 for $80,000 and invested $71,350 to convert the warehouse to classrooms. The classrooms were used until the warehouse was demolished for the building expansion of 1967-1969.
Early years in St. Cloud (1857-1863). Mother Willibalda Scherbauer and her companions traveled from St. Marys, Pennsylvania by rail and wagon to Pittsburgh; by river boats on the Ohio River to St. Louis and on the Mississippi River with a stop-over in St. Paul; finally reaching St. Cloud. However, the riverboat, "North Star" was stranded on a sand bar two miles from St. Cloud. After two days, on July 4, 1857, the sisters were taken ashore in small boats. They stopped at the Benedictine monks' college in St. Cloud to enjoy their first meal after three days on the boat without food as they could not afford the price of a meal (50 cents). Then the monks took the sisters to their destination, St. Mary's Parish in the German settlement of Middle St. Cloud. The whole area was desolate having been ravaged by a grasshopper plague. The resulting food shortage and the extreme cold tested the endurance of the sisters during their first years in St. Cloud (Saint Benedict's Monastery Archives; McDonald, pages 20-27).
