The village of Beaverville, known as St. Mary until 1905, is the home of St. Mary's Catholic Church. Services were held in homes of the parishioners, or, occasionally in the village, prior to 1857. A priest came from L'Erable to offer the Holy Sacrifice when the church was fist built. Ste. Marie (St. Mary) was mission of L'Erable.

Twenty acres of land were donated by Charles Arseneau . St. Marie belonged to the Chicago Diocese. In 1949 the Joliet Diocese was formed and St. Mary's came under its jurisdiction.
