| History 
      of All Saints Parish | 
  
   
    We are grateful that the 
      history of the All Saints Parish has been researched and displayed on the 
      All Saints Parish website, http://www.dmallsaints.org/our-rich-history.cfm 
       The text of that history entry reads in part: 
       
      In the summer of 1914, Father D.J. Mulvihill, pastor of St. 
      John's Parish, petitioned the bishop for assistance in caring for the Highland 
      Park and Oak Park Catholic communities. All Saints Parish was established 
      in the Fall of 1914 by Rt. Rev. Austin Dowling, Bishop of Des Moines. Catholics 
      in the area were notified by postcard.  
      That postcard announcing a new parish in the Highland and Oak Park area 
      arrived in parishioners' mailboxes in October of 1914. On October 20, 1914, 
      as the newly appointed pastor, Fr. Henry C. Pouget, formerly a chaplain 
      at Mercy Hospital, rented from Charles Weitz a store-front building at 2914 
      - 6th Avenue as the first worship center for All Saints. The first baptism 
      recorded was Frank D. Johnson, on December 24, 1914. On Christmas Day, 1914, 
      First Holy Communion was celebrated to 23 children. The first infant baptized, 
      March 12, 1915, was Daniel Maurice Feeley, son of John and Catherine Feeley. 
      The first marriage performed on May 6, 1915, united Dorn G. Kring (ancestry.com 
      records indicate Doran Jacob Kring and Helen Zoskoka or Zukofsky) and Helen 
      Zakaska. The first funeral was on May 10, 1915 for Mrs. Ann Haff. 
      When Fr. Pouget was transferred in the Fall of 1915 to 
        Maloy, IA, , Fr. John J. O'Neill became the new pastor on October 23, 
        1915. Fr. O'Neill's home at 3620 4th Street now became the location to 
        celebrate Mass. 
      Fr. John Joseph Galligan was appointed in March of 1916 
        to be the first resident pastor. On July 17, 1916, All Saints was incorporated. 
        In July, he was authorized to purchase three lots at the northeast corner 
        of 3rd and Ovid (3415 3rd Street) for $2,600. This would become the parish's 
        first real church. In September of 1918, the residence at 3417 3rd Street 
        that would become the parish rectory was purchased for $3,500.  
      In 1919, Fr. James Manning was appointed pastor following 
        Fr. Galligan's untimely death from the flu on November 18, 1918. On September 
        10, 1919, plans and specs (by Proudfoot, Bird and Rawson) for the new 
        church were approved, and authorization was given to seek bids, not to 
        exceed $16,000. The church, with its cupola, would have the air of an 
        old Spanish mission church. The cornerstone was laid in 1919, and the 
        new church building was dedicated on June 13, 1920. On December 5, 1920, 
        the first confirmation class of 39 was held. A 1920 parish list shows 
        residents from West 13th Street to Amherst and from New York Avenue to 
        Aurora Avenue.  
      In 1924, Fr. Manning was authorized to accept plans, bids 
        and sign the contract not to exceed $11,000 to provide a school building 
        for the parish. The school building consisted of three rooms, and classes 
        began in 1925 with 56 pupils taught by the Sisters of Mercy. The Sisters 
        of Mercy taught at All Saints until 1987. The nuns resided at St. Catherine's 
        Home at 17th and Grand. The first parishioners furnished them transporation 
        and eventually they traveled by taxi. Later they resided at the Bishop 
        Drumm Home at 14th Clark, also then communicating by taxi.  
      When Fr. Manning was transfered to St. Augustins in May 
        1928, Fr. James Cronin Maher became the new All Saints pastor. During 
        Fr. Maher's tenure two building additions were made to the school. The 
        first addition was in 1936 at a cost of $18,000. It was built in front 
        of and connected to the original school building and consisted of the 
        basement and first floor. The school was dedicated by Rev. Gerald Thoms 
        Bergan on Sunday, October 18, 1936 at 3:00pm. In 1955, the second addition 
        of adding a second floor was built, at a cost of $67,000. At this time, 
        the church was enlarged with an addition to the east. A new heating plant 
        was installed to supply heat to both the school and the church. While 
        at All Saints, Fr. Maher was elevated to Monsignor in July 1954. Msgr. 
        Maher served the parish until his death on July 7, 1962, a total of 34 
        years.  
      Fr. Frederick Reece served as administrator until Fr. 
        John Reynolds became pastor in September 1962. In 1963, Fr. Reynolds was 
        instrumental in purchasing 10 acres of land at 650 NE 52nd Avenue and 
        Union for $28,500 for a new church. The All Saints location on 3rd Street 
        was crowded and overflow room was needed. All Saints' new church satellite, 
        known as St. Mel's Chapel, was dedicated on September 4, 1966 with a building 
        cost of $305,000 plus furnishings. Elevated to Monsignor on January 23, 
        1964, thereafter in 1972, Msgr. Reynolds retired and moved to Atlantic, 
        IA.  
      Fr. Edward Hurley served as administrator until Fr. Gerald 
        Ryan was appointed to succeed Msgr. Reynolds. In the fall of 1976 a new 
        rectory was built. Due to the increasing size of the parish, Fr. Ryan 
        added a new staff position of Parish Social Worker. Sister Nancy Anderson, 
        O.S.B., formerly of All Saints, was the first to serve in this position. 
        In the summer of 1979, Father Ryan was moved to St. Anthony's Parish in 
        Des Moines. 
      In 1979 Fr. Frank Nugent was assigned to All Saints while 
        continuing to serve as Vicar General for the Diocese of Des Moines. In 
        july, 1981, he was transferred to St. Augustins in Des Moines. 
      In August of 1981 Fr. Frank Palmer was assigned as pastor. 
        Many energy saving projects were accomplished during Fr. Palmer's tenure. 
        Fr. Palmer was instrumental in implementing more of the liturgical reforms 
        mandated by Vatican II.  
      Fr. Ken Gross was appointed pastor in August of 1987. 
        He hired the first full-time secretary for the parish and established 
        a Long Range Planning Committee in 1988 to address issues central to the 
        future of the parish. The All Saints school was closed in June 1992.  
      Fr. Anthony Aiello was appointed pastor in July of 1992. 
        Fr. Aiello held the last Mass in the 3rd and Ovid location on Christmas 
        Day, 1996. On January 1, 1997, all parish functions were moved to the 
        NE 52nd Avenue location, and St. Mel's officially became All Saints. In 
        November of 1997, an addition to the building was dedicated. The areas 
        we know as the Parish Hall, Parish Office, two large restrooms, Religious 
        Education rooms and library were all part of this addition. 
      Growth continued under the guidance of Fr. Bob Schoemann 
        from 2003-2008. Although there was room for parishioners inside the church, 
        the parking lot was now overflowing. In 2007, 108 parking spots were added 
        as a huge expansion was undertaken. In 2008, a superb sound system was 
        installed so parishioners could easily hear as they celebrated Mass. A 
        large well-lit sign was also installed in 2008, so people could easily 
        identify All Saints Catholic Church.  
      Fr. Bob Harris has led All Saints since 2008. During 2012-2013 
        Fr. Harris led the $800,000 Capital Campaign and Building Project to update 
        the HVAC systems and renovate the classroom spaces, which included splitting 
        the gym into two floors due to continued growth in parishioners and the 
        number of parish activities held at the parish.  
      From its very simple beginning, All Saints parish has 
        grown considerably. In 2006, there were more than 575 families; today 
        there are over 730 families. Although the parish has grown into a medium-sized 
        parish, it has maintained the same warm hospitality from the very beginning!
