History of St. Mary of Tipton

St. Marys of Tipton goes back to 1856,
when our parish was established
by the Catholic pioneers of our area.
Reverend Philip Laurent was sent out by
Bishop Loras, of Dubuque, to serve the people in Muscatine.
While there, Father Laurent’s missionary zeal
sent him out to the surrounding communities.
By his efforts, our parish in Tipton was begun.
From the first days when Mass was celebrated in private homes, to today’s celebrations in the current structure, built in 1969 by Father Ray Pacha,
local families have gathered to worship and pass on their faith.
