Our History
Annunciation Parish came to birth in December of 1998 with the merger of three local Catholic Church communities.
These were:
Immaculate Conception Parish - Fox Lake, Wisconsin - Founded in 1850
St. Mary Parish - Lost Lake, Wisconsin - Founded in 1865
St. Gabriel Parish - Randolph, Wisconsin - Founded in 1916
The ethnic roots of all three of these parishes were found in the European migration from Ireland, Germany, and Poland that took place during the early and mid-nineteenth century. Along with their hopes and dreams for a better life in this "New World," these courageous people brought with them their deeply rooted faith in God that they experienced and celebrated within the life and tradition of the Roman Catholic Church.
In June of 2024 we joined a collaboration of parishes in the Western dodge County. We now are with: St. Joseph's, Waupun; St. Katharine Drexel, Beaver Dam; Holy Family, Reeseville; St. Columbkille, Elba; and St. John the Baptist Clyman.
