St. Raymond of Peñafort Parish was formed in 1998 through a union of three parishes: St. John the Apostle (Fall Creek), St. Anthony de Padua (Augusta), and Holy Guardian Angels (Brackett). The scenic rural setting, on which our church is blessed to stand, has been owned by the parish since 1865.

The parish church was dedicated on August 25, 2002 by then-Bishop Raymond L. Burke. It is a new building with an old soul. The church is located on a hill on a forty-acre site in the town of Clear Creek, WI. We believe that the solid faith of our founders remains alive today in St. Raymond of Peñafort Parish. The parish is the only Catholic parish for all of Southern Eau Claire and Northern Trempealeau Counties and includes the towns of Washington, Lincoln, Bridge Creek, Pleasant Valley, Clear Creek, Otter Creek, Albion, Unity, and Sumner. St. Raymond’s serves the following communities: Fall Creek, Augusta, Brackett, Strum, Osseo, Cleghorn, Allen, Foster, Rodell, Eleva, and Hale Corner.

Since the beginning, St. Raymond's has grown steadily and now numbers over 350 families. As a parish that primarily serves small towns and rural areas, St. Raymond's places great importance on neighborliness, respect, and service to others. Visitors to the parish often comment on our relaxed and friendly atmosphere. If you're ever in West Central Wisconsin, please stop in for a visit! We love to have guests join us for Mass and other activities that take place throughout the year.
