    <dcterms:description><![CDATA["The parish of Saint John Nepomucene in Fort Atkinson, Winneshiek County, began in 1873 with plans for a church and their execution in 1874. But the parish stems from the “Old Indian Mission” among the Winnebago Indians living on the extensive government reservation in and around Fort Atkinson. The fort for which the town is named was built by the United Sates government to protect one tribe of Indians from other tribes. In 1842 Bishop Loras sent Father Remgius Petiot to care for the many Catholics among the Indians. Then Father Joseph Cretin served those people from 1843 until 1848, using a rough log chapel two miles east of the Fort. The chapel was destroyed by fire, and another was built five miles south and known as “Our Lady of Dolors” and also as “Old Mission.”' <br /><br />- Rev. Msgr.
