The Diocese of Davenport (Latin: Diœcesis Davenportensis) is a Latin Church ecclesiastical jurisdiction or diocese of the Catholic Church for the southeastern quarter of the U.S. state of Iowa. There are 11,438 square miles (29,620 km2) within the diocese. The diocese's eastern border is at the Mississippi River; the northern border comprises the counties of Jasper, Poweshiek, Iowa, Johnson, Cedar, and Clinton; the western border is made up of the counties of Jasper, Marion, Monroe, and Appanoose; and the southern border is the Iowa–Missouri border.
The current bishop of the diocese is Bishop Thomas Zinkula. It is a suffragan see of the Archdiocese of Dubuque. The See city for the diocese is Davenport. Sacred Heart Cathedral is the cathedral church.
History[]
Before 1881, the Diocese of Dubuque's territory comprised the entire state of Iowa. Previous divisions had taken territory outside the state of Iowa from the Diocese to give to other newly created Dioceses. Eventually, Bishop John Hennessy became convinced that the Dubuque Diocese should be further divided, with the Dubuque Diocese covering the northern half of the state, and the southern half covered by a new diocese. Hennessy felt that the See of this new Diocese should have been located at Des Moines, Iowa. However the Holy See chose Davenport as the See city of this Diocese.
On June 14, 1881, the southern territory of the Dubuque Diocese was taken to form the Diocese of Davenport.[1][2] Fr. John McMullen, a priest in the Archdiocese of Chicago was chosen to be the first Bishop. Bishop McMullen was consecrated by Archbishop Patrick Feehan of Chicago, Bishop John Hennessy of Dubuque, and Bishop John Lancaster Spalding of Peoria.
The Diocese of Davenport was split in two on August 12, 1911, which reduced it to its current size. The Diocese of Des Moines became the See city of this new diocese, which covered the southwestern quarter of the state of Iowa.
Sex abuse cases[]
The diocese of Davenport has been affected by the abuse scandal involving members of the clergy and focused on Bishop Lawrence Soens. On October 10, 2006, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Davenport filed for Chapter 11 protection.[3] By November 27, 2007, $37 million had been allocated to 156 persons.[4][5] In 2014, documents released revealed that former Diocese of Davenport priest James Janssen, who sexually abused many boys in the Diocese of Davenport and was laicized in 2004 for sex abuse, said in court during lawsuits that "I'm very sick."[6] Janssen died in 2015.
On March 20, 2020, It was announced that Catholic priest and theology professor at Davenport's St. Ambrose University Robert L. "Bud" Grant was suspended from teaching and practicing ministry after a sex abuse allegation surfaced.[7][8] The alleged sex abuse was committed during his time in the Diocese of Des Moines in the early 1990s.[7][8] St. Ambrose University confirmed Grant's suspension and the Diocese of Davenport announced that Grant would be removed as the sacramental minister at the St. Andrew Church in Blue Grass.[7][8] Both suspensions will last until at least the time the Diocese of Des Moines completes the investigation against Grant.[7][8]
Higher education[]
From its very beginning the diocese has a history of supporting higher education. At one time there were four Catholic colleges within the boundaries of the Diocese of Davenport. Today there is only one, Saint Ambrose University.
St. Ambrose began as a seminary and school of commerce for young men in September 1882. It was founded by the diocese's first bishop, Rt. Rev. John McMullen, in the school building of St. Margaret's Cathedral. The school moved to its current location in 1885. Its name was changed to St. Ambrose College in 1908 to better reflect its identity. The school grew steadily over the years and in 1987 it became St. Ambrose University.[9]
The Congregation of the Humility of Mary founded two schools in the diocese. The first school was established at their motherhouse when it was in Ottumwa. Founded as Visitation Academy in 1864, it had several name changes until 1930 when it was named Ottumwa Heights College. Ottumwa Heights merged with Indian Hills Community College, a part of the state of Iowa's community college system, in 1979 and has been officially inactive since 1980. The community's former motherhouse and college property has been IHCC's main campus since 1981.[10]
The Sisters of Humility also founded Marycrest College in Davenport as the woman's division of St. Ambrose in 1939. By the 1950s it had become a separate institution, and it started admitting men in 1969. The school, however, started to decline in enrollment as well as financially. In 1990, Marycrest became affiliated with the Teikyo Yamanashi Education and Welfare Foundation of Japan and was renamed Teikyo Marycrest University. In 1996 the institution's name was changed to Marycrest International University in an attempt to reflect its global mission. However, enrollment continued to decline. financial difficulties persisted, and the school closed in 2002.[11] The campus continues intact and in 2006 it became Marycrest Senior Campus, a residential facility for senior citizens.[12] It has no affiliation with the diocese.
The Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi established Mt. St. Claire College for women in 1918 in Clinton. The college began offering graduate courses over the internet in 2002 and changed its name to The Franciscan University. In 2004, the school modified its name to The Franciscan University of the Prairies, so as to avoid confusion with similarly named institutions. In 2005, the school was purchased by Bridgepoint Education, Inc. and the sisters ended their sponsorship. The school became known as Ashford University and closed in 2016.[13]
Since 1947 the diocese has supported a dedicated campus ministry program at the Newman Catholic Student Center at the University of Iowa in Iowa City.
Coat of arms[]
The coat of arms for the Diocese of Davenport was designed after the arms used by members of the Davenport family in England. The family's arms are described as, "Argent (white or silver), a chevron sable (black) between three cross crosslets fitchée of the second."[14] The diocesan shield maintains the use of the silver color and the black cross crosslets fitchée. The black chevron is replaced with a black crenellated tower.
