Welcome

Christ Our Hope is a cluster of six Catholic parishes in the Archdiocese of Dubuque in Northeast Iowa.  As our mission statement says, "The "Christ Our Hope" cluster offers meaningful, fulfilling, and varied avenues of worship, Catholic education, social service, and community life for all ages within our six parishes to support the active practice of Catholic Faith in all that we do."
