Immaculate Conception (Charles City, Iowa)
Title
Immaculate Conception (Charles City, Iowa)
Description
"A basement for the future church was completed in 1870 and was used for Mass and other services until 1885, when the Gothic style brick church was completed on that early foundation. This building was damaged twice by fires. In 1968 a tornado almost destroyed the church. Construction of a new church began in July 1971. It was dedicated by Archbishop James J. Byrne on December 7, 1972, the eve of the patronal feast of the Immaculate Conception."
