Capuchin Franciscan friars have ministered to the Catholics of Ellis County since 1878. Saint Fidelis Friary in Herzog (Victoria) was established by Father Matthew Hau, O.F.M. Cap., and Father Anastasius Mueller, O.F.M. Cap., at the invitation of the Bishop of Leavenworth, Rt. Rev. Louis M. Fink, O.S.B., on May 11, 1878. For several years this was the central station from which friars cared for a seven county area.
