With the completion of the railroad to Cedar Rapids in 1859 came an influx of Irish immigrants. A year later the first church was built on property in Lisbon and Saint John the Baptist Parish had its beginnings. In 1870 Father William Daley, formerly a columnist on a New York newspaper, was appointed pastor of Lisbon, Mount Vernon, Mechanicsville, Clarence and Tipton and soon made his residence at Mechanicsville.”

Their spiritual needs have been served by priests traveling from Dubuque. After the church was built, Father James Slatery came regularly from Saint Martin’s in Cascade. In 1862 Father John Gosker was appointed the first resident pastor. During his stay of 16 years, a brick church was built in 1864, and this was probably the occasion for the change to the name of Saint John the Evangelist.”
