As Archbishop James J. Keane became aware of their difficulty, he directed the Franciscan pastors of Saint Mary’s to build a church-school farther north and sell the downtown Saint Mary’s buildings. By the early 1920s the German immigrants had overcome the language problem and the growing number of Catholics in southeast Waterloo desired a church in their area. The first Mass of the new church was celebrated on August 10, 1924, and Archbishop Keane dedicated the church to Saint John the Evangelist three weeks later.”

Toohill became pastor and purchased a house to be used as a rectory. During his pastorate, Thomas Barry became the area’s first candidate for the priesthood. He was ordained Dec. 17, 1894, and served Iowa parishes until his death in Webster City in 1932. He is buried in Belmond parish cemetery. The Belmond parish records began in 1883 with the first resident pastor. […] The tornado of October 1966 demolished the business area of Belmond and damaged the church extensively. Although the church could still be used, the parish had to discuss seriously the possibility of a new church, and that decision was left for the time of a new pastor.”
