The St. Margaret’s Parish in the Rural Municipality of St. Andrews was established by immigrants from Germany in 1927, and land for the building of a church and cemetery was donated by Mr. and Mrs. Herman Wehrle Sr. and family. In the cemetery, a large monument and a plaque commemorate the settlers and families of the founding immigrants. Another monument on the churchyard grounds, topped with a church bell, also commemorates the founding members.
