St. Patrick (Cedar Rapids, Iowa)
Title
St. Patrick (Cedar Rapids, Iowa)
Description
"The parish began in 1885 with the appointment of Father Thomas F. Richardson to organize a parish on the west side of the Cedar River. The west-side Catholics had been members of Immaculate Conception Parish with its church east of the river. The third pastor was Father Timothy J. Sullivan, who remained 25 years. Soon after his arrival the parish purchased the present property on the corner of First Avenue and 5th Street. The cornerstone of a large stone church was set on October 18, 1891, and the interior completed in 1893."
