St. Francis of Assisi (Fayette, Iowa)

"Saint Francis of Assisi Parish at Fayette began as a mission of Clermont in the 1870s. At that time Fayette County Catholics were visited by Father Eugene Sullivan, pastor of Clermont from 1876 to 1879. The Holy Name congregation at West Union was also in his charge. During those years the parish cemetery was established two miles northwest of Fayette in 1876. Father William P. Mullen was the first resident pastor of Saint Francis of Assisi Parish from 1946 to 1954."
