St. Joseph (Stone City, Iowa)
Title
St. Joseph (Stone City, Iowa)
Description
"In 1870 Father Clement Lowery went to visit Stone City from his Cedar Rapids parish. He celebrated Mass, administered baptism, and instructed the children of the French, German, and Irish immigrants, who had been attracted to work in the quarries. Father Patrick J. Maher, pastor of Anamosa, continued in the 1870s the Stone City visitations begun by Father Lowery. In the 1880s Father Maher’s successor in Anamosa, Father T. McCormick, kept up the pastoral care of the Stone City Catholics. He secured the use of a large hall for Mass and named it Saint Joseph Chapel. He established a cemetery outside of Anamosa, which was used by the Catholics of a wide area."
