Title

St. Patrick (Garryowen, Iowa)

Description

"St. Patrick’s at Garryowen began with the coming of Irish immigrants a few years after the conclusion of the Blackhawk War and the opening of the Iowa Territory to settlement. Father Samuel Mazzuchelli, the Italian Dominican missionary, tells the parish’s beginning in his own words. “Among the most noteworthy sites where Catholics had immigrated is that part of the region called Maquoketa (Makokiti) from the river that borders it. The place is about 20 miles from Dubuque."

- Kurt, Rev. Msgr. Edgar, Parish Profile #2, The Witness, December 7, 1986.
