| Abstract | Biography of Joseph Albrecht, born in Unter-Neuhaeuser by Kirchzarten in Breisgau January 6, 1800. Although he married Maria Anna on November 29, 1826, they separated and she joined a cloister founded by the mother of by Franz Sales Brunner, priest of the Missionaries of the Precious Blood. In 1843 Brunner led a group of seminarians to Ohio where priests were in high demand, Maria Anna followed in 1844, Joseph Albrecht in 1848. Despite poor academic and theological training, and little regard by his fellow priests and superiors, Albrecht was a beloved priest in Ohio until his capital punishment of several young women caused a split in the congregation. He and a small band of followers traveled via St. Nazianz, Wisconsin, where a Christian commune had been founded by Ambrose Oschwald, to "Rush Lake" in Minnesota. His formal appointment in the new diocese was never made official, but his community grew. He was excommunicated in 1871, in 1879 his community was destroyed by arson, and he died in 1884. Includes appendix with brief biography of Ambros Oschwald. |
