Title

St. Patrick (Dubuque, Iowa)

Description

“The mission was raised in the status of a parish in 1858, and Father Andrew Trevis was appointed the first pastor in addition to his duties as seminary president. He was soon followed by Father Patrick McCabe as the first permanent pastor. In 1870 Father Roger Ryan began a forty-two year pastorate during which the parish grew in numbers and spirit. In 1876 preparations were made for a new church, with the cornerstone laid in 1877 and the building dedicated August 15, 1878. During part of his pastorate Father Ryan served as vicar general of the diocese and present of Saint Joseph College (later renamed Loras College).”
