Music: Wesley, Samuel S. (1810-1876), “O Blessed St. Donatus.” Description An account of the resource “Saint Donatus Parish is the only parish in the United States named for this heavenly protector against storms. Soon after the Iowa Territory was opened to settlement in 1833, pioneers from Luxembourg in Europe took up residence on the fertile hills and valleys about ten miles south of Dubuque in the area of the stream named Tetes des Morts (Heads of Death) as a result of a war between Indians in the area. About 1851 a pastor changed the name of the gruesome title to a saint quite popular in the Luxembourger’s homeland. They would like to have named the parish and church for their country’s patron, Our Lady, Consoler of the Afflicted, but Bishop Loras is supposed to have pointed out that there were already several churches named for the Blessed Mother.” - Rev. Msgr. Edgar Kurt, “Parish Profile #11: Saint Donatus Parish, Saint Donatus,” Dubuque: The Witness, 15 February 1987. https://digitalcollections.loras.edu/files/original/89d61d4565357ad275458d0ce2418b9d.jpg f1c98458d1e02ce7b39347583b077162 https://digitalcollections.loras.edu/files/original/ca481c1dfa10f5e554fa70b2ab84bdc3.jpg a1c2bd821d95424a83257f2ce718f8d6 https://digitalcollections.loras.edu/files/original/06e03f45045e8a5fbdc032f9fc4f8579.jpg 94a5eb57a926454d537738f53d68d31a https://digitalcollections.loras.edu/files/original/1aa47ac0450a382b641e9158c19483b7.jpg 7c6d25fd7f95a8286c0e8505c8672818 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource “The first Catholic settlers of the Sherrill community came from Germany and Luxembourg in the 1840s to find land providing timber and rock for building and wood for fuel, as well as productive soil. They were visited by Bishop Loras and priests from Dubuque, Rickardsville, Holy Cross, and New Vienna for the celebration of Mass and the sacraments in the homes of John Behr, John Christmas, John Hirsch, and Mathias Michels. As they were ten oxcart miles from the Dubuque cathedral, thirty-two of these faithful Catholics met on March 28, 1852, to form a parish and build a log church dedicated to Saint William. The total cost was $96.93. Bernard Clauss and Adam Haberkorn were the leaders in organizing the parish. Frank Stillmunkes and Nicholas Fries prepared the logs and shingles for the church, which was raised by the efforts of the whole community.” - Rev. Msgr.
