Description
“The first priests to visit the Catholic pioneers of the Maquoketa area in Jackson County came from Saint Patrick’s in Garryowen. Before the Maquoketa Catholics had a church of their own they went to the Garryowen or Otter Creek churches. After Father Joseph B. Gaffney was appointed the first resident pastor of Otter Creek in 1868, he visited the Maquoketa faithful and in 1871 bought four lots in the southern part of town from John E. Goodenow. The church was finished in 1873 and dedicated June 28, 1874.”
- Rev. Msgr. Edgar Kurt, “Parish Profile #83: Sacred Heart Parish, Maquoketa.” Dubuque: The Witness, 24 July 1988.
