Description
“The first Catholics in Norway area were of Czech heritage, and the first priests came to minister to them in their own language. Father Anthony D. Urban visited them while pastor of Spillville and celebrated the first Mass in the area in 1865 in the Matthew Kuenn home. Several times in 1865 Father William Emonds came from Iowa City to celebrate Mass in the public school. While he was pastor of Vinton in 1867, Father Urban directed the building of the first Catholic church in Norway. In 1870 he was appointed the first resident pastor of the parish.”
