Title A name given to the resource Assumption of the B.V.M. (Sylvia, Iowa) Description An account of the resource "Sylvia, where the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is located, was first called Sylvia, which is Latin for “the woods.” When the narrow gauge railroad came to the little town in 1879, it became Sylvia Switch, and was sometimes simply called the Switch. When the railroad was no more, it easily went back to Sylvia. Father Bourke began working with the Sylvia Catholics in the fall of 1895. They bought ten acres from Jacob Kemerer for ninety dollars. Foundation rock for the frame church was brought from neighborhood quarries and lumber from LaMotte. With much of the labor donated, the church was finished in 1896 at a cost of $750." - Kurt, Rev.

Nagle had frequently visited the area from his parish in Garner and found a good number of Catholics living a great distance from any church. The town of Swaledale had been platted in 1887. On October 18, 1902, three lots were transferred to the trustees of the Catholic Society of Swaledale; John Finnegan, M. V. Mohoney, and Matt Mulligan. A few months later, on December 20, these trustees conveyed the lots to Archbishop Keane.

Murphy of Ossian to come to Calmar twice a month to celebrate Mass, at first in the Ahern home and then in the public school at three dollars a month rent. Father Murphy made the trip to Calmar by team, but when the roads were impassable, he traveled on horseback or by handcar. The parish bought four lots that year, and building began in the spring of 1876 after stone had been hauled by sleigh during the winter. One Sunday after Mass the parishioners met with Father Murphy about a name for their church and agreed on Saint Aloysius. An oil portrait of their patron saint given by the S(h)indelar family was hung above the tabernacle." -Kurt, Rev. Msgr.

The Immaculate Conception Church, Cedar Rapids, Iowa.   Description An account of the resource ““In 1853-54 I offered Mass in Cedar Rapids,” wrote Father Mathias Hannon of Iowa City. “I was the first priest to say Mass there.” The Mass Father Hannon celebrated in the Dubuque House, a small hotel, was the beginning of Immaculate Conception Parish. Father Mathias Michels often made the same journey from Iowa City to Cedar Rapids during the next three years. Then in 1858 Father William Emmonds found the Catholic population sufficient to organize a parish. That year they built a small church at the corner of 3rd Avenue and 7th Street, where the telephone building now stands.” -Kurt, Rev. Msgr.

The first annual report for 1945 listed 90 members in 24 households. Father Jospeh A. Sullivan came as assistant in 1945, and Father Nestor B. Goedken came the following year.
