All Saints (Cedar Rapids, Iowa)

All Saints (Cedar Rapids, Iowa)

"The growth of Cedar Rapids in the 1940s prompted Archbishop Henry P. Rohlman to establish a parish in the southeast quarter of the city in 1947. He appointed Father Bernard G. Collins pastor of the new parish, which was named All Saints. There were 80 families in the new parish, most of them former members of Immaculate Conception parish where Father Collins had been assistant from 1937 to 1945. A few others were former members of Saint Matthew Parish."
