Before that, Mass was celebrated in the homes of the O’Donnells and the Doughertys. After forty years as a mission, the parish received its first resident pastor when Father William A. Kunkel was appointed in August 1903. He began the sacramental records. He at once set about having the church repaired and enlarged. In the summer of 1904 a rectory was built, and one room of the rectory was furnished as a school. For two years a lay teacher conducted the parish school, but in 1906 Father Kunkel resigned because of health and the school closed.”

Father Anthony D. Urban visited them while pastor of Spillville and celebrated the first Mass in the area in 1865 in the Matthew Kuenn home. Several times in 1865 Father William Emonds came from Iowa City to celebrate Mass in the public school. While he was pastor of Vinton in 1867, Father Urban directed the building of the first Catholic church in Norway. In 1870 he was appointed the first resident pastor of the parish.”
