Title A name given to the resource St. Francis (Dumont, Iowa) Description An account of the resource "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." - Rev. Edgar Kurt, "Parish Profile #152," Dubuque: The Witness,  3 December 1989.

Description An account of the resource "Foreseeing the need for a much larger church, Father Kortenkamp worked with his assistant, Father Joseph Brinkmann, to plan and construct the present Gothic style church with twin spires towering over 200 feet, until recent years the largest church in the state. Three months after Father Kortenkamp’s death, the church was dedicated in 1889. In 1950 a north entrance was added and the church was consecrated in 1955. When Cardinal Konrad von Preysing of Berlin visited Dyersville to bless a school site in 1947, he was so impressed with the huge, stately Gothic church and the almost total Catholic population, that he said, “How wonderfully appropriate it would be, if this lovely church could be raised to a basilica.” Pope Pius XII granted the request in 1956. The Basilica of Saint Francis Xavier is one of 32 basilicas in the United States." - Rev. Msgr.
