===Religion===
Many of Thiensville's founders were German immigrants who were members of [[Freethought|freethinker]] societies. They actively worked to keep organized churches out of the community, and succeeded for the first eight decades of the village's existence. When St. Cecilia Catholic Church and School was built in 1919, it was the first church in the village.<ref name="Encyclopedia" /> St. Cecilia merged with St. James Catholic Church of Mequon in 1984 to form Lumen Christi Catholic Church and School. Services were held in Thiensville until 2019, when a new, larger facility was completed in nearby Mequon.<ref>{{cite web|title=Lumen Christi Catholic Church: About Our Parish - History |url=https://lumenchristiparish.org/history |publisher=Lumen Christi Catholic Church |access-date=April 24, 2020}}</ref>
