Title A name given to the resource Saint John the Baptist (West Ridge, Iowa) Description An account of the resource "Natives of Ireland were the first Catholic settlers in the West Ridge area of Winneshiek County, about eight miles northwest of Waukon. Norwegian settlers were their neighbors to the south. In 1860 Bishop Clement Smyth bought a lot for a cemetery and another lot for the church. Work on the church began in a year or two, with rock quarried on the William Rea farm nearby. The stone work was done by a man of the parish named Sweeney, while other parishioners quarried and transported the rock. It was completed and named for Saint John the Baptist in 1863, making it about the third oldest church still in use in the Archdiocese." - Kurt, Rev. Msgr.

Title A name given to the resource St. Thomas Aquinas (Ames, Iowa) Description An account of the resource "In 1899 the pastor of the Gilbert parish, Father Henry C. Eckhart, celebrated the first Mass in the Ames community. The Gilbert church and rectory were in the country, some miles from the town of Gilbert. Father Eckhart was followed by Father Francis C. Renier, who had charge of three Catholic congregations: Gilbert, Jewell, and Ames. Road conditions from Gilbert to Ames made Sunday Mass for the Ames Catholics uncertain. Because of this situation the college students petitioned the Archbishop in 1911 to appoint Father Renier resident pastor in Ames. In a letter to the Archbishop in response to the students’ petition Father Renier stated, “it has been my hope that some time in the future the authorities in the diocese would realize that the work done here for our students is not a parochial matter, but something which effects the whole diocese." - Kurt, Rev.

The German Catholics began building the first Saint Mary Church of the downtown location of the YWCA. When they asked Archbishop John J. Hennessy for a pastor, he appointed Father Henry J. Hemesath on January 18, 1898. Less than a week later Father Hemesath celebrated Mass in the basement of the church. When the church was completed, the basement was converted into a classroom. The following year three Franciscan Sisters arrived from Dubuque to take over teaching the 36 pupils. They were the first of over 200 Franciscans to serve the parish." - Kurt, Rev. Msgr.
