Among the priests making missionary journeys to State Center were the Marshalltown pastors, Fathers William Walsh and Peter Brommenschenkel. One of the homes where Mass was celebrated was Maurice Noonan’s, a railroad employee. The first parish church in State Center was built in 1871 under Father Brommenschenkel’s direction. The parish included residents from Rhodes, Colo, and Dunn Settlement. The following year Bishop John J. Hennessy dedicated the church and confirmed the first class."
