About the host
Hosted by Christine Williams
Brick Mason from Rochester, MN . Have a love for old brick Catholic Churches and water. Searching throughout the US for one. When I came across St Joseph's Catholic Church just a couple blocks from the Mississippi River and fell in love. Have worked hard to restore the structure and remodel the rear of the church. The event center is still under construction but wanted to share the beauty and location so decided to open it to Airbnb. *Entire building is able to be toured. Ask about scheduling when checking in.
Why they chose this property
From the backyard you are able to see the beautiful river as you grill out. The park just catty corner away helps get that extra energy out of the kids or a walk down by the river on its paved walking path.
