St. Francis Xavier (Hawkeye, Iowa)
Description
"As early as 1891 Father James Mulligan, pastor of West Union, visited the Hawkeye area Catholics and celebrated Mass in the home of Michael Riley, the railroad section foreman. In 1893 under Father Mulligan’s direction, they built a small frame church. There were only seven Catholic families, but funds were given by all citizens irrespective of creed."
