Description
“Saint Joseph Parish began in 1855 with the building of a church at Paint Rock in the northeastern corner of the state in Allamakee County. The post office name of Paint Rock changed to Allamakee, to Adams Junction, to Waukon Junction, to Harpers Ferry, but Saint Joseph Church was out in the country. So there was reason to build Saint Ann Church in the town of Harpers Ferry in 1897.”
- Rev. Msgr. Edgar Kurt, “Parish Profile #29: Saint Ann-Saint Joseph Parish, Harpers Ferry.” Dubuque: The Witness, 21 June 1987.
