Cardinal Robert F. Prevost, originally from Chicago, Illinois and a long-time missionary in Peru, was elected the 267th pope May 8 and took the name Pope Leo XIV. He is the first North American to be elected pope.
His first words to the world were, "Peace be with you". Let us keep him in our prayers as he prepares for his new responsibilities as our Holy Father.

Annual Diocesan Appeal 2024-2025
If you have not yet pledged or donated to the Annual Diocesan Appeal, please consider making a pledge or donation at this time.
The Annual Diocesan Appeal is your opportunity to assist our parish, the Diocese and the universal church. The ADA gives us the opportunity to act together as a family of faith and support the programs and services no single individual or parish can offer by themselves. Your gift is important. Every gift, regardless of size, is vital to the success of the Appeal. Your pledges and gifts will help to assure that the ADA will be able to continue building the faith community throughout the Diocese of Davenport.
Parishes being served by two Priests
The parishes of St. Mary of the Visitation, St. Patrick and St. Mary Magdalen of Bloomfield have one Pastor and one Associate Pastor.
Father Joseph Sia is the pastor of the three parishes.
Father Ben Snyder has been our Parochial Vicar since July 1, 2024.
