                <text>"The present church was built in 1898 under the direction of Father William Banfield, who served as pastor from 1893 to 1953. Legend has it he served all those years without an official appointment. Father Banfield saw the small town spring up across the road and become incorporated in 1932, perhaps the state’s smallest incorporated community. A school was built in 1907, and the Sisters of Mercy were in charge for many years." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Kurt,&amp;nbsp;Rev. Msgr.

                <text>"When Saint Columbkille Parish was officially erected on May 24, 1997, the newly appointed pastor Father John R. Fogarty did not have to look for parishioners and buildings. The residents of West Hill welcomed Bishop John J. Hennessy’s decree providing them with their own parish and pastor. After years of going to the Cathedral, they had been celebrating Mass for some years with the Cathedral priests in the Presentation Sisters’ school. Father Thomas O’Reilly celebrated the first Mass in the temporary school on Bryant Street on September 21, 1879. After the school moved to the Rush Street location, the first Mass there was on the following December 14. The Sisters arranged to have Mass said regularly in the makeshift church inside the combination school and convent. Thirteen years after his ordination, Father Fogarty came as founding pastor to stay for almost a quarter century."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; - Rev. Msgr. Edgar Kurt, "Parish Profile #126," &lt;em&gt;The Witness,&lt;/em&gt; May 28, 1989.</text>

                <text>&lt;p&gt;“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.”&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

On July 11 Father Gossman was appointed the founding pastor. On August 19 the community was formed when they gathered for Mass in Hiawatha Elementary School cafeteria. Also in August the parish purchased a rectory at 1045 Eisenhower Road. In September Father Gossman began celebrating weekday Mass in the rectory. During the next several months the parishioners met in small neighborhood groups to bring to the surface a cross section of ideas as to what the parish should be. In October the parish formed a consensus of all those recommendations.”&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>"Saint Francis Church is located in Barclay Township, Blackhawk County, near Waterloo. It began in 1862 with the decision to build a church on the Joseph Rittelmeier farm two and a half miles southeast of Dunkerton. Limestone for the building was taken from the Brown farm quarry on the west bank of the Wapsipinicon River. It was completed just before Bishop Clement Smyth founded the parish in December 1862 with the appointment of Father John Gosker as the first pastor of Independence with the added care of the mission at Barclay." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Kurt, Rev.

                <text>"Before any Catholic church was built in Dumont, priests from neighboring parishes ministered to the Catholics of the area. Four Ackley pastors are especially remembered, Father Peter O’Dowd, D. H. Murphy, Lawrence H. Burns, and Michael A. Meagher. Father McCormick is mentioned in old histories of the parish, but he cannot be identified in the Archives of the Archdiocese. “Mass was said in the prairie homes of staunch defenders of the faith, many of whom hailed from Canada, some from the banks of the Rhine and others from the land of destiny—the Isle of the sea,” according to Father James M. Ryan, who was in charge of Dumont in the 1800s. Those words and the following were published in a calendar in 1902."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; - Rev.

                <text>"Before the early settlers built their first church, Father James Harding from Cresco began to visit Ossian in 1858 and celebrated Mass in the railroad depot or the John Collins home. Before that it was not uncommon for the Catholic pioneers to walk to Festina or Clermont for Mass. The earliest church in Ossian was a Catholic church, built on the site laid out by Father Harding and built according to his plans. The land was donated by Captain Brooks, who was not Catholic, and the church was built by Horatio and Cyrus Harvey, also not Catholic." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Kurt, Msgr.

                <text>"Saint Francis of Assisi Parish at Fayette began as a mission of Clermont in the 1870s. At that time Fayette County Catholics were visited by Father Eugene Sullivan, pastor of Clermont from 1876 to 1879. The Holy Name congregation at West Union was also in his charge. During those years the parish cemetery was established two miles northwest of Fayette in 1876. Father William P. Mullen was the first resident pastor of Saint Francis of Assisi Parish from 1946 to 1954."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Rev. Msgr.

                <text>&lt;p&gt;“In the fall of 1883 Father John W. 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.”&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
