Notre Dame (Cresco, Iowa)

Notre Dame (Cresco, Iowa)

"The two Catholic parishes of Cresco - Assumption and St. Joseph's - were officially merged into the unified parish of Notre Dame on Thursday, July 1. The birth of the new parish was celebrated on July 3-4 during masses offed by Archbishop Jerome Hanus, OSB. The selection of the name Notre Dame Parish was made by parishioners of Assumption and St. Joseph's to give continuity to the school and the parish, both of which will now be known as Notre Dame."
