                <text>"Saint Mary Parish began with the French Catholics who settled in Clayton County as early as 1833, and missionary priests celebrated Mass and the sacraments whenever they came to the village. The first German families arrived in 1845. Guttenberg became a flourishing river town because of lead mining in the area, the sawmills, stone quarries, and steamboat traffic on the Mississippi. In one year, 1857, 620 steamboats stopped in or passed by."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; - Kurt, Rev. Msgr.

In the beginning the pastor of Lansing, Father William Jacoby, celebrated Mass in a little school house two miles north of the present Hanover church in 1875. Father Edmond Heelen came from Dorchester to direct the building of a little frame church beside the school house and to celebrate Mass there occasionally until he left Dorchester in 1878."&#13;

                <text>"Father Thomas J. Murtagh came from Masonville and Father Patrick S. O’Connor from Oelwein to celebrate mass for the Catholics of the area in the 1890s. They were of Czech, German, and Irish ancestry. In 1895 Father O’Connor brought together the Catholics of the Aurora, Lamont, and Dundee area to build a church. Lots were bought in Lamont, and the frame church was ready for use by the fall of 1896. It was dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary under the title of her Immaculate Conception. Within a few years the Hazleton parish grew in numbers sufficient to support their own pastor, and Father M. M. Grady was appointed in November 1898 to reside in the Hazelton parish and also care for the Lamont area Catholics. He remained until the end of 1902." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Rev. Msgr.

                <text>"Landolm Haas, a veteran of the Mexican War, was the first settler in Saint Mary Parish, arriving in 1851 to take advantage of choice land at a low price. Father David Slattery was the first resident pastor and began the parish records. He came in December of 1875 and stayed until May of 1882. His successor, Father M. J. Gaffney, was the first of four pastors who stayed for short terms, until the advent of Father Michael K. Norton in December 1887. Father Norton stayed until September 1905. A parish hall was built and a wing added to the rectory, which was probably built for the first pastor in the 1870s. During his pastorate the locality’s name changed from Lansing Ridge to Lycurgus, the name of a classical Greek statesman." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Rev. Msgr.

                <text>&lt;p&gt;“When Father John J. Hanley became pastor in 1887, he saw to the building of a three-story frame school and convent, which was known as Saint Xavier’s for many years. Cedar Rapids Sisters of Mercy staffed the school until 1940; then the Dubuque Franciscans. Accredited in the 1920s, the school was reduced to eight grades in 1950. The present church and rectory was finished in 1963 under Father Cooney’s direction. The sanctuary’s north wall is a window 30 feet by 50 feet imported from France and believed to be the largest faceted window in the nation.”&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

They were visited by Father William Edmonds of Iowa City and Father Clement Lowry of Cedar Rapids. Father William Walsh was appointed pastor in 1869, and he gathered the 25 Catholic families of the area for Mass in various homes for Sunday Mass. By late summer of 1869 they had gathered enough money to build a frame church, 40 by 80 feet, dedicated to the Immaculate Conception.”&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

About the same time, James McGregor gave the Catholic parish a parcel of land at the head of Main Street, where Father B. C. Linehan caused a school and Sister’s home ot be built in 1868. Three Sisters of Charity came from Dubuque to conduct the school, which continued for 25 years. When the enrollment dwindled, the school was closed in 1894.”&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>"Saint Mary Parish is the second parish to be founded in New Hampton. Its beginning is unusual. The school was established and in operation for three years before the first church was built. The German speaking parents in Saint Joseph Parish wanted their children to receive religious instruction in German so that they could assist in teaching their children. If we review the resident pastors of Saint Joseph’s, we realize it must have been English speaking from its beginning: Father Burke, Gosker, Leahy, and Reilly. In 1890 the German Catholics established a parochial school. The first teachers were laymen. In March 1892 land was purchased for the building of a church, which was completed the next summer. On the feast of the Visitation, July 2, 1894, Father Bernard H. Forkenbrock was appointed pastor." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Rev. Msgr.

                <text>&lt;p&gt;“Bishop John Hennessy established the Strawberry Point parish in the southwest corner of Clayton County in 1878 and appointed Father John Hackett pastor. They had been served by missionary priests coming into the area and celebrating Mass in the homes of Bartholomew Dillion, James Ivory, Michael O’Brien, James Fitzpatrick, and T. Kelly. Father Hackett directed the purchase of property in the town of Strawberry Point and the building of a church. The 30’ by 60’ church was completed in 1880 and dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary on May 23 of that year.”&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
