                <text>&lt;p&gt;“Immaculate Conception Parish owes its origin to Father Thomas Hore, a native of the parish of Our Lady’s Island in County Wexford, Ireland. His life would be good material for an interesting saga. Father Hore, born in 1796, completed his theological studies in 1820 and came to the United States with the newly appointed Bishop of Richmond, who ordained him on their arrival there. After six years of pastoral work in Virginia, Father Hore returned to his native diocese. In 1850 Father Hore prepared to lead more than 450 fellow Irishmen to Arkansas because the Bishop of Little Rock had frequently returned to Ireland seeking priests and Sisters. Arriving there the group met its first great disappointment. Most of the land was already occupied, and they could not find a suitable place to settle. In late January of 1851, Father Hore came to Dubuque, visited Bishop Loras and New Melleray Abbey.”&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>&lt;p&gt;“Settlement of Winthrop and the surrounding area began with the coming of the Illinois Central Railroad in 1868. Most Catholic immigrants were Irish. Some came as laborers on the railroad, staying to make a permanent home. Others came to farm the Buchanan County land. Missionary priests visited the early Catholics, providing Mass, the sacraments, and other religious service.”&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>&lt;p&gt;“German Catholic settlers moved into western Dubuque County in the 1860s and some made their homes in the town of Worthington. Many went to Dyersville for Mass and the sacraments, and fewer went to Saint Martin’s in Cascade, where instructions were in English. They welcomed Father Anton Kortenkamp of Dyersville with his German background, and he readily organized the Worthington congregation and directed the building of a church. The cornerstone was dated November 1, 1868, and dedicated to Saint Paul. A parochial school opened in 1874, taught by laymen.”&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
