    <dcterms:description><![CDATA["From 1900 to 1903 Father Vincent Opava resided in a house near Saint Wenceslaus Church in Carroll Township, about a mile and a half west of Clutier. He cared for both Holy Trinity in Otter Creek and Saint Wenceslaus. In 1905, during the four-year pastorate of Father Aloysius Kolar (1903-1907), a rectory was built in Clutier. The next pastor, Father Joseph Gregor, served from 1907 to 1912. During his pastorate the Methodist church in Clutier was purchased and converted to Catholic use. When Father Gregor began celebrating Mass in Clutier every Sunday, Mass was said on alternate Sundays at Saint Wenceslaus and Holy Trinity. This continued until 1919, when Holy Trinity church was given into the care of the pastor of Saint Mary Church in Vining." <br /><br />-Rev. Msgr.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA["The first European settlers in the Castle Grove area of Jones County were of Irish origin, arriving about 1846. They were visited regularly by Father Jeremiah Trecy from Garryowen on his missionary circuit. Then they were visited by Father Patrick McGuinnes. In 1853 he directed the building of the first church, dedicated to Saint Aloysius Gonzaga. Years later the parish was named for the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In the incitement of the Know Nothing animosity toward Catholics and immigrants, the small church was burned to the ground soon after its completion. “Upon the ashes and ruins of it the holy sacrifice was offered the day following, and the new stone church is now nearly completed,” the Catholic Almanac for 1856 reported. No real town grew up around the church, but Castle Grove is listed as a post office from the ‘60’s through the ‘80’s. Under the direction of Father Matthew Murphy, the school was moved to a new location and opened as a parochial school with the Clinton Franciscan Sisters in charge. Father Murphy served a long pastorate of thirty-one years. Later Father John J. Hennessy, nephew of Archbishop Hennessy, served a still longer time, from 1922 to 1966." <br /><br />- Rev. Msgr.

Patrick and Bridget Farrell deeded four acres of their farm to the Diocese of Dubuque on May 25, 1880, a year after they had purchased it. The Centennial History of the Archdiocese states that Father Kelly celebrated Mass in Anthony and Martin Cummings’ homes, but no further reference to Father Kelly can be found in the Archives. Before it was called the Blessing Church, it was known as the Hudson or Lincoln Church, according to old directories.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA["The German families in Dubuque asked Bishop Loras for permission to form a parish and built a small stone church at 8th and White Streets in 1851. Although named Holy Trinity, it was replaced in 1867 by the present Saint Mary Church at 15th and White Streets. Holy Trinity Parish came into being in 1909 when Father Arnold A. Boeding, the Sacred Heart pastor, asked Archbishop John J. Keane to create a new parish in the Eagle Point area of the city. Father Joseph A. Dupont, the Sacred Heart assistant, was appointed pastor. The parish was named Holy Trinity. Finding about 110 families in his care, Father Dupont chose the present location on Rhomberg Avenue. A committee headed by George Roepsch and Joseph Schlueter gave him valuable support and assisted in raising funds. When Father Dupont made the fund appeal, several parishes, many priests and businessmen, and a good number of parishioners responded, providing $30,000 in cash and $15,000 in pledges. Work began in early 1910. For the cornerstone laying, a long procession of 17 Catholic societies in colorful regalia proceeded from the Cathedral to the Rhomberg Avenue site." <br /><br />- Rev.
