    <dcterms:description><![CDATA["Saint Michael Parish got its start when in 1863 John Shonagel built a small frame church at his own expense in the town of Elkport, not even a mile across the river from the village of Garber in Clayton County. Several priests came from the neighboring parishes to care for the Catholics of the Elkport area: Father Michael Lynch from Holy Cross in Dubuque County, Father Conrad Schulte from Guttenberg, Father Stephen Massjost from Guttenberg, and Father O’Belrne from Elkader. In 1871, Father H. Gaul, the first resident pastor, began a larger church of stone to replace the Elkport frame church. His successor, Father Michael Quirk, continued the project, and Father B. W. Coyle saw it to completion."<br /><br /> -Edgar Kurt, Profile #54, <em>The Witness,</em> 30 December 1987]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA["Seven pastors have served Dubuque’s Sacred Heart Parish during its 110 year history. Father Fredrick William Pape was the first. Many young families had settled in the northern part of the city in the 1870s and industry developed in that area. As most were Catholics from Germanic countries, Bishop John J. Hennessy consulted with the pastor of Saint Mary’s in 1879 about forming a parish for them and appointed Father Pape to organize the parish. He stayed with Father Clement Johannes at Saint Mary’s until a house could be rented for a rectory. Because of their concern for Catholic education and the Bishop’s policy of a school in every parish, the parish planned a combination building. Most of the first floor was classrooms, and the Sisters occupied the remaining room and space in the basement. The church took up the second floor. Parishioners proved much of the labor and the building was completed in December 1880. Classrooms were readied by January 15, staffed by the Dubuque Franciscans with a layman principal. He doubled as parish organist and teacher of upper grade boys. That day 154 children left Saint Mary School for their new classrooms."<br /><br /> -Rev. Msgr.

Father Homan found he could administer the parish by calling together the men of the parish whenever there were decisions to be made, property to be repaired, or money to be collected.

Because of rapid growth, plans for a new building were made in 1863, and the structure became a reality in 1867 at the corner of 15th and White Streets. It was named Saint Mary’s under the title of her Assumption. In late afternoon of January 9, 1976, the interior of the church was extensively damaged by fire and smoke. Msgr.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA["Saint Mary Parish was established in 1857 with the appointment of Father John Baumgartner to care for the German speaking Catholics who had been members of Saint Martin Parish in Cascade along with their Irish neighbors. They began the construction of a stone church, where Mass was offered for the first time on Christmas 1859. It stood for over a century, but was used for other purposes when another church was built in 1884. After Father Baumgartner's death in 1875, Father John Baumann was appointed pastor of Worthington and Saint Mary's to serve the German speaking people of the two Dubuque county towns ten miles apart. Language and ancestry was a divisive factor in the Cascade community for many decades. It delayed the merging of the schools years after the needs of the German speaking population ceased."<br /><br /> - Rev. Edgar Kurt, <em>The Witness</em>, Parish Profile #33, n.d.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA["Pioneer Catholic families settled in Grundy County in the late 1860s, during the hard times following the Civil War. Father Patrick Smith visited them from Cedar Falls almost monthly. His successor, Father Charles McCabe, continued to provide for their spiritual needs. In 1884 Father John J. Hanley was appointed to Vinton and its missions. In 1885 the Grundy Center parish bought two lots at the east edge of town, the present location. They built a church dedicated to the Sacred Heart, even though there were less than a score of families. About this time two acres outside of town were purchased for a cemetery."<br /><br /> - Rev. Edgar Kurt, Parish Profile #174, <em>The Witness</em>, 13 May 1990.]]></dcterms:description>
