Title

St. Joseph (Greeley, Iowa)

Description

"Michael J. Quirk and Father Michael Lynch were the first priests to visit the Greeley area to care for the early Catholic settlers in the 1860s. On those occasions the James Fitzpatrick home became a temporary chapel for the Greeley and Edgewood faithful. Under Father Quirk’s supervision the first Catholic church was built in Greeley in 1870 and dedicated to Saint Joseph. It was a frame structure 50 x 30 and served until 1952."

- Rev. Edgar Kurt, "Profile #190," The Witness, 9 September 1990.
