Description
“After the appointment of Father P. C. Kenny, churches were constructed in Vinton and Dysart under his direction. In 1879 the Church of Saint Mary in Vinton was dedicated on the feast of Mary’s Maternity, October 12, and the church in Vinton was dedicated to Saint Joseph one week later. In that year the parish at Grundy Center was added to his care.”
