Title
St. Patrick (Britt, Iowa)
Description
"In 1877 a group of settlers went to Bode, south of Algona, so seven young people could receive first Holy Communion. That was in the time when children had to be 12, 13, or 14 to receive first Eucharist. In 1877 a Britt parishioner was taken to Bode to be baptized by Father Theodore Wegmann. The Britt church property was acquired in 1879 and the church built the following year under the direction of Father Zigrang, who was pastor of Algona and Bode. The 1880 to 1885 sacramental records for Britt are at Algona."
