Religious Institutions  The present First Presbyterian Church grew from a Sunday School organized in 1900 was housed, at first, in a land office and later in a butcher shop.  Preaching services were held there while the congregation sat on planks placed over kegs of fish and pickles.  This was the first church building in Wilton and is currently located at 401 Dakota Avenue.  Worship services are held on Sundays at 11:00 a.m. and Sunday School is at 10:00 a.m. The St. Peter and Paul Catholic Church was built in 1890 in the country northeast of Wilton.  The Church was moved to its present site at 300 North 7th Street in 1911 by the Ukrainian families who came to homestead, and also for the miners who worked in the coal mines in the early 1900's.  The Ukrainian Catholic Church acknowledges the authority of the Pope of Rome, but it employs the Byzantine rites, while the Roman Church uses the Latin rites.  Services are held on Sundays with confession at 9:30 a.m. and Divine Liturgy at 10:00 a.m. The Mission Evangelical Free Church can trace its roots back to a group of Swedish immigrants who settled just east of Wilton in the late 1800's.  This group of believers began meeting in homes and built their first church in 1898 at a site five miles east of Wilton.  They later sold the building and built another in 1915.  Soon after the country church became too small and the members built its present day church located at 700 7th St. North.  Services are held on Sundays at 11:00 a.m. with Sunday School at 10:00 a.m.  There is an evening service on Sundays at 7:00 p.m.     One of the landmarks of Wilton is the Holy Trinity Ukranian Orthodox Church built by the Ukrainians who fled from Russia in search of freedom long before the communist revolution.  The church was built in the early 1900's and consists of a cruciform building with three steeples each bearing the Greek schismatic cross, symbolic of the Trinity, with the lowest part set obliquely to denote the Church has divested itself of papal authority.  Though closed most of the year, pastors come once a month from Minot to conduct a service at the church from June through August and for an occasional funeral.  The Roman Catholic Church has always been a part of Wilton and the community.  The Sacred Heart Catholic Church was built in the summer of 1906 and was originally located on Railroad Street and Bismarck Avenue.  In 1939 it was moved to the site of the present church on Bismarck Avenue and 4th Street.  The church membership has remained stable throughout the years.  In 1959 a new church was built, and it was in this same year the Church began to put into practice the second Vatican Council.  Mass is held every Wednesday and Friday morning and also on Sundays at 9:00 a.m. The Sunne Lutheran Church is now over 100 years old and is located southeast of Wilton.  Swedish immigrants who were among the earliest settlers in the region, some of whom had arrived 10 years earlier.  In February 1893, neighbors gathered to organize and establish a Swedish Evangelical Lutheran Congregation and built a church.  Because so many of the 30 or so present were from Sunne, Varmland, Sweden, the name "Sunne" was chosen for the congregation.  Services are held on Sundays at 8:30 and 11:00 a.m.  Communion is the first and third Sunday of each month, and Sunday School is at 9:45 a.m.  For more information, visit www.sunnelutheran.org
