Immaculate Conception (North Buena Vista, Iowa)
Title
Description
“North Buena Vista clings to the hillsides of the great river, which often offered better transportation than the twisting valley roads. While Father Garrett T. Nagle was pastor of Holy Cross, 24 families pledged support for a small frame church, which was built of lumber from the surrounding hills. When it was dedicated in October 1905, it was placed under the protection of the Immaculate Conception.”
- Rev. Msgr. Edgar Kurt, “Parish Profile: #177: Immaculate Conception, North Buena Vista.” Dubuque: The Witness, 27 May 1990.
