O’Brien visited them from his Eagle Center Parish. These pioneers built a frame church for two thousand dollars under Father O’Brien’s direction and sponsored a fair in the local opera house to complete it free of debt. The first Mass was celebrated at the dedication in 1888, Father O’Brien continued to care for them until 1892.”

Farrelly was appointed the first resident pastor in 1897. Beginning with his appointment, the pastor of Manly also cared for the mission church at Plymouth. About a year later the parish built a rectory, destroyed by fire after a few years and soon rebuilt. In 1900 Father Farrelly directed the building of the second frame church dedicated to a Sacred Heart. The original church was moved and served other purposes. In 1892 the parish purchased four acres for a cemetery.”

Before the Maquoketa Catholics had a church of their own they went to the Garryowen or Otter Creek churches. After Father Joseph B. Gaffney was appointed the first resident pastor of Otter Creek in 1868, he visited the Maquoketa faithful and in 1871 bought four lots in the southern part of town from John E. Goodenow. The church was finished in 1873 and dedicated June 28, 1874.”
