Sacred Heart (Woden, Iowa)

"While Father Garrett T. Nagle was pastor of Saint Boniface Parish in Garner from 1893 to 1903 and a missionary to a large area, he visited the Catholics of Woden in Hancock County about every month. Mass was usually celebrated in the home of John Quinn, southeast of Woden. During the last years of Father Nagle’s care they built a small frame church. On his leaving the Garner parish, Sacred Heart Church of Woden was given into the care of the pastor of Britt, Father Cornelius Sampson. He was succeeded by Father William Baxter."
