St Michael’s Leeds parish grows into St Michael’s Church
The Leeds area parish, started by 12 families, built a church and rectory by 1907, with early leaders Father Schleier and Father Ryan shaping the parish. Over decades, debt was paid, a hall added, a high school merged into Spalding, and a new large church built in Indian Hills. The church today supports multiple choirs, parishes’ groups, and community activities.

Monastery at 2901 S Cecelia Established by Bishop Mueller
Discalced Carmelite sisters near Sioux City have led a cloistered life since Bishop Mueller sealed the enclosure on Jan 6 1962 at Our Lady of the Incarnation Monastery. The community originated from Bettendorf with papal blessing and now houses three novices amid seven professed nuns. The monastery, designed for private rooms opening outdoors, supports daily public worship and personal prayer, with thousands visiting before enclosures were sealed.
