There is also a Catholic school on the grounds. In fact, the school preceded the church and was the primary purpose for creation of this facility. The church was an inclusion.

The first mass in the church-school was the wedding mass of Bernard Niehues and Amalia Matthiesen. The new bride was given the privilege of naming the church and chose the name St. Boniface, for a popular German saint.
