Saint Mary (Hazleton, Iowa)

Title

Saint Mary (Hazleton, Iowa)

Description

"Most of the priestly life of Father Nicholas Mary Homan is half the history of Saint Mary Parish in the Buchanan County town of Hazleton. Father Horman was appointed pastor of Saint Mary’s in September 1913 and stayed until his death on February 3, 1969. Father Homan found he could administer the parish by calling together the men of the parish whenever there were decisions to be made, property to be repaired, or money to be collected. Although those consultations were few, they were the forerunners of the present parish councils. Father Homan served the parish for fifty-five years. In 1959 he celebrated his golden jubilee."

- Rev. Edgar Kurt, The Witness, 2 July 1989
