St. Patrick (Clear Lake, Iowa)
Title
St. Patrick (Clear Lake, Iowa)
Description
"In the year 1900, only nine catholic families lived in or near Clear Lake, which had a population of 1,700. They had no church, but Father Garrett T. Nagle came from Garner once a month to celebrate Mass in what was known as Sprague Hall. The family names were Carney, Goodell, Huber, McCabe, Olesen, Pattie, Patterson, Stork, and White.As he had a cottage on the lake, Father Nagle continued to care for them. He purchased the old Congregational Church building for $900 with his own money. After it was furnished, Mass was celebrated there for the first time on June 10, 1901. It was probably from this time that it was called Saint Patrick’s."
