St. Patrick (Winthrop, Iowa)
Title
Description
“Settlement of Winthrop and the surrounding area began with the coming of the Illinois Central Railroad in 1868. Most Catholic immigrants were Irish. Some came as laborers on the railroad, staying to make a permanent home. Others came to farm the Buchanan County land. Missionary priests visited the early Catholics, providing Mass, the sacraments, and other religious service.”
- Rev. Msgr. Edgar Kurt, “Parish Profile #157: Saint Patrick, Winthrop.” Dubuque: The Witness, 14 January 1990.
