A paragraph from a two page document on Genevieve Ketterer

She was strong in her Catholic belief. From the time Benedictine Missionaries came to Chaska, conducting masses in the Faber home, through the organization of Guardian Angel's congregation in 1858 and building of a simple church and a subsequent edifice she practiced her religion and indoctrinated her 10 children who grew to adulthood with it. In her widowhood she contributed the substantial Faber support, including donation of a stained glass window in the present church after a fire on Oct, 2, 1902. In those years it was customary for families who could afford it to rent pews. For the Faber "brood" there was a pew on the east side just a few rows from the front. Mrs. Faber also was one of those from whom special contributions were sought for the building of the Saint Paul Cathedral in St. Paul, MN.
