Title
St. Joseph (Bellevue, Iowa)
Description
"At first the parish was a “station” cared for by Father Jean Perrodin, the first resident pastor of St. Patrick’s at Garryowen. On Sept. 6, 1841, Bishop Loras purchased a lot for a church and a larger lot for cemetary purposes. The first church, dedicated to St. Andrew, was a frame structure built upriver in 1842 and floated downstream. Both the church and the lots were gifts from funds provided to Bishop Loras by the Society for the Propagation of the Faith."
