St. Boniface Catholic Church began with services held in parishioners' homes in 1882, served by missionary priests from Valley City.
In 1886 the church was organized as a parish, with a frame church located five miles south of what is now Wimbledon. With the establishment of the village of Wimbledon, the church was moved to the village, pulled by twenty-eight horses. First located in the southeast portion of the village, it was soon moved to the present site and a formal dedication was held by Bishop Shanley on October 15, 1897.
The first wedding, a double ceremony, found Gordon Darkenwald wedded to Mary Altringer, and William Altringer married to Gertrude Burns on November 15, 1898. The first resident pastor was Father Woeste. On September 10, 1906 the rectory and church were destroyed by fire. Two years later the present brick structure was built and in the spring of 1964 a new parsonage was built.
Under Father Neal Kapaun, the present pastor, the church has been re-modeled, painted and carpeted.
