If Catherine Connors was employed at a rectory, and was married at St. Patrick's in 1854, I suspect that she was employed at that rectory. Fr. Tracey was the priest at that time. St. Aloysius, at South Garryowen, was not in existence at that time, nor do I think the church at Otter Creek was built. In fact, the present church of St. Patrick's was completed in 1854. Try to access the Archdiocese of Dubuque website. They should have a listing of all parishes and when they came into existence. Good luck, Ron Baumhover
