The Chisago County Catholic Churches are in the Archdiocese of St. Paul/Minneapolis.

North Branch

Church of St. Gregory the Great (established in 1903)

38725 Forest Blvd
North Branch, MN 55056
651-674-4056
Established by Polish immigrants from the German Partition.

  • A fire destroyed the church in 1942
  • New property was purchased to rebuild the church in 1943
  • Due to lack of funds, the church was a basement church until the present church was formed in 1962.

St. Gregory Church was initially a Mission Church of Sacred Heart Church in Rush City, so early church records might be under that church.
