    <dcterms:description><![CDATA["Sylvia, where the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is located, was first called Sylvia, which is Latin for “the woods.” When the narrow gauge railroad came to the little town in 1879, it became Sylvia Switch, and was sometimes simply called the Switch. When the railroad was no more, it easily went back to Sylvia. Father Bourke began working with the Sylvia Catholics in the fall of 1895. They bought ten acres from Jacob Kemerer for ninety dollars. Foundation rock for the frame church was brought from neighborhood quarries and lumber from LaMotte. With much of the labor donated, the church was finished in 1896 at a cost of $750." <br /><br />- Kurt, Rev. Msgr. Edgar, Parish Profile #115, <em>The Witness,</em> March 12, 1989.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA["The oldest Catholic parish in Howard County began with four families from Canada with the family names of Christmas, Hannigan, Ryan and Welsh. At first priests from Prairie du Chien came to serve them, but in 1853 Father Clement Lowery from Decorah attended to their needs. They built a limestone church on property purchased from James Upton in Vernon Springs, just south of Cresco. Family names then included Barnes, Carroll, Conner, Conry, Donahue, Glass, Higgins, Logue, Long, Ploff, Reynolds, Schaefer and Sweet. When the railroad located its depot in Cresco, many of the Catholics moved from Vernon Springs into Cresco and so the first resident pastor, Father James Harding, celebrated Mass in Cresco." <br /><br />- Kurt, Rev. Msgr. Edgar, "Parish Profile #58," <em>The Witness,</em> January 24, 1988.]]></dcterms:description>
