Immaculate Conception (Riceville, Iowa)

Immaculate Conception (Riceville, Iowa)

"Father James Saunders directed the building of the New Haven church and then saw to the building of the Riceville church. In the early spring of 1879 funds were collected by Pat Mulick and John Dargan. Among those who were generous toward the projected church were some who did not belong to the Catholic faith. The donor of the site was one of them, Thomas McCook. Two others were G. Weaver and Nelson Pierce."
