Alexian Brothers' Novitiate
The Alexian Brothers' Novitiate is a manor house located in Gresham, Shawano County, Wisconsin, United States. Originally built in 1939 as a residence, it would be converted into a novitiate for the Alexian Brothers' order in 1950 after being donated to them. The building ceased to be used as a novitiate after 1968, following the Second Vatican Council and the reforms from it. It has since been largely vacated and partially demolished, leaving very little of it standing. The building is best known for being seized by the Menominee Warrior Society, a subset of the American Indian Movement, in 1975, with demands that it be turned over to the nearby Menominee Indian Reservation. Though successful, it ultimately was returned to Gresham, where it would be largely forgotten.
==Early History==
The Novitiate was originally a home for a New York widow and her disabled child in 1939. The structure had been built with the intention that it eventually be donated to the Brothers, as the late husband had formed a strong connection to them in his youth in Chicago.
In 1948, the building was turned over to the Brothers, with the final acquisition occurring in 1950 and in 1951 would begin admitting novices. The area encompassed approximately 232 acres. This building was expanded in 1954, to include a new monastery. More land was also purchased in 1955, to provide a farm to feed the novices.
Following the reforms of the Second Vatican Council the Brothers ultimately decided to move their operations to Chicago, putting the novitiate building up for sale in 1969, with the last brothers moving out in 1972, with only a caretaker staying behind. Attempts to sell the property stalled for several years, until 1974, when the property was offered to a group of Indians from Green Bay for an unknown "nominal cost" with the intent of converting it into an alcoholic rehabilitation center. However, the seizure of the Novitiate in 1975 ended this potential deal.
