St. Luke (Hopkinton, Iowa)
Title
Description
“At the first parish meeting in January 1923 a building committee was formed. Bids for a church building were opened at the next meeting on May 25, and ground was broken on May 28. The cornerstone was laid on July 8, and Archbishop Keane preached for an hour. The stained glass windows and main altar came from the Buffalo church (Saint Joseph Church south of Prairieburg), which had been in the care of Father Keffeler and was being razed. The Blessed Virgin’s altar was a gift of the Franciscan Sisters in Dubuque. Pews came from Saint Mary Church, Dubuque, where Father Schuh had been an assistant. The Young Ladies Sodality of Saint Mary’s gave vestments.”
