in 1885, six families began to meet for the celebration of the Eucharist at the homes of the first settlers in Hatley. Priests came from near by towns to administer the sacraments. In 1898, the first church was built and dedicated under the patronage of St Florian.

In late 1907, Fr Karcz was appointed pastor. In his first year, he appointed a building committee for a new church and rectory. The present church structure and a wood framed rectory were built in 1914 and dedicated by Bishop James Schwebach. 
Soon after, Fr Standly Krakowiecki began his 27-term as pastor of St. Florian, In 1941 a flash fire burned the rectory to the ground and many church records were lost. Plans were made to build the present rectory.

After the passing of Fr Abe in 2007, we welcomed Fr Jerzy Rebacz as our paster. He lead us through our lateste renovation of the church and the re-dedication of the parish on Oct 17, 2009, as well as bringing back many of the Catholic tradition we have loved from years past. After three short years, Fr Jerzy was transfereed to a neighboring parish in Steven Point.

Currently Fr Gregory Bohren serves as pastor of St Florian and St Agnes. under Fr Greg, St Florian went through necessary yet much needed behind the scenes repairs. The church basement also received a much needed update, the first in over 50 years.
