St. Mary's is currently manned by the Society of St. Puis X . "Pray for unification"The story of St. Mary's has many beginnings. One strand reaches back to the first heroic Jesuit missionaries of North America. In 1641, when St. Isaac Jogues and Fr. Charles Raymbaut penetrated as far west as Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, they met representatives of the Potawatomi tribe, those children of the forest who seem to have been specially marked by God to be receptive to the Faith. Of Algonquian stock, they were related to the Ottowa and Ojibway (or Chippewa).
Fr. Jacques Marquette also made early acquaintance with the Potawatomi in the course of his explorations and historic voyage down the great Mississippi in 1673.
In 1669, near the head of Green Bay, Wisconsin, Fr. Claude Allouez founded the Mission of St. Francis Xavier for the Potawatomi and neighboring Sauk, Foxes and Winnebago. Probably it was he who founded the most important old mission center for the Potawatomi on the St. Joseph River near the Indiana-Michigan line. As early as 1712 the mission was in a thriving state, and for long decades the Jesuits labored there for the spiritual good of the Potawatomi.
