St. Patrick (Cedar Falls, Iowa)

Description

"Saint Patrick Parish in Cedar Falls traces its history to the first Mass in Cedar Falls, celebrated by Father Patrick McGinnis in the home of Andrew Mullarky in 1855. Father John Shiels began to minister to the Catholics of Cedar Falls in 1856 and directed the building of a brick church on the corner of 8th and Washington Streets in 1857, making it the oldest parish in Black Hawk County. For eight years Father Shiels visited Cedar Falls every month or so as he looked after the spiritual needs of people in several counties."
