    <dcterms:description><![CDATA["When Saint Columbkille Parish was officially erected on May 24, 1997, the newly appointed pastor Father John R. Fogarty did not have to look for parishioners and buildings. The residents of West Hill welcomed Bishop John J. Hennessy’s decree providing them with their own parish and pastor. After years of going to the Cathedral, they had been celebrating Mass for some years with the Cathedral priests in the Presentation Sisters’ school. Father Thomas O’Reilly celebrated the first Mass in the temporary school on Bryant Street on September 21, 1879. After the school moved to the Rush Street location, the first Mass there was on the following December 14. The Sisters arranged to have Mass said regularly in the makeshift church inside the combination school and convent. Thirteen years after his ordination, Father Fogarty came as founding pastor to stay for almost a quarter century."<br /><br /> - Rev. Msgr. Edgar Kurt, "Parish Profile #126," <em>The Witness,</em> May 28, 1989.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA["The first settlers in Bluffton Township, Winneshiek County, arrived in 1851. The Catholics among them were the families of Michael Gelice, Terrence McDonnell, Charles McLaughlin, and Barney Sutton. Before any church could be built visiting missionaries celebrated Mass in the homes of Michael Gelice and Patrick Nolan. The village of Bluffton, prosperous for those times, sprang up on the banks of the Upper Iowa River, where the first post office opened in 1855. In 1858 Patrick Nolan donated land for a church, and the log structure was dedicated to Saint Bridget, as most of the pioneers were either from Ireland or had Irish ancestors."<br /><br /> - Rev.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA["Saint Anthony’s was a school for several years before it was a parish. As a parish it was dedicated first to Saint Malachi, then to Saint Aiden in 1880. Later to Saint Ambrose and still later to Saint Anthony. The parish had its beginning when Bishop John Hennessy directed Father Thomas O’Reilly, rector of the Cathedral, to build a school at the present corner of St. Ambrose and Seminary Streets in 1866. It was the policy of the new bishop to have a school in every parish, and he intended establishing a parish for the people of the hill district of Dubuque. The school was staffed by lay teachers until the coming of the Presentation Sisters in 1876, when the men of the area built a convent for them and became the pioneers of the new parish."<br /><br /> - Rev.

At first priests from Prairie du Chien came to serve them, but in 1853 Father Clement Lowery from Decorah attended to their needs.

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.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA["In the southwest corner of Jackson County, between Maquoketa and Wyoming, the town of Fremont was platted in the center of Monmouth Township in 1859. Five years later, on May 5, 1864, Joseph J. Kopsa called a meeting of the area Catholics. He gave the land to the newly formed society that later became Saint John Bohemian Church. The name recognized that most of the members were of Czech ancestry. These settlers had been attending the Catholic Church in Onslow and then in their own homes when priests would visit the area from Cascade, Delmar, Garryowen, Hughes’ Settlement, and Oxford Junction. It is claimed that at least forty-five children were baptized in the old Ales homestead. They began building a stone church in 1864, and it was used for Mass before it was completed in 1871."<br /><br /> - Rev. Msgr.
