Mary's Church campus located in Dubuque, Iowa on the block of White and Jackson Streets between 15th and 16th Streets. A non-profit organization, Steeple Square's mission is to serve as a collaborative, inclusive center providing opportunities for community support, social life and cultural growth. Mary's church is now the Steeple Square Community Event Center, which includes Honkamp Hall, the Sis

ters of Charity BVM Community Center, the McCoy Multipurpose Room and the Sr. This unique, stunning and versatile space is available for rent for events such as wedding ceremonies, receptions, family celebrations, business events, celebrations of life, education, vocational training, meetings, etc. The former rectory is now the Marita Theisen Childcare Center, providing safe, loving childcare to ages 6 weeks to preschool. We also offer free 4-year old preschool. In partnership with Opening Doors, the former school is now the Francis Apartments, offering both market-rate apartments and affordable housing for graduates of the Opening Doors' program. All of this was possible with the generosity of time, talent and treasure of greater Dubuque and other supporters across the country who desired to repurpose this iconic campus into effective use for our community.

Our Story

Steeple Square is the former St. Mary's Church campus located in Dubuque, Iowa on the block of White and Jackson Streets between 15th and 16th Streets. Currently going through restoration, Steeple Square serves as a collaborative, inclusive center providing opportunities for community support, social life and cultural growth. The former church is now the Steeple Square Community Events Center which is available for rental during the restoration. It has a hall, salon and conference center for rent. Email [email protected] if you are interested in renting space on our campus. The former Jackson Street School is now the Francis Apartments, which consists of permanent-supportive housing for Opening Doors graduates and market-rate apartments. The Marita Theisen Child Care Center is planned for the former rectory. The campus has already hosted stained-glass window workshops, vocational training, weddings, showers, birthday parties, end-of-life celebrations, community fests, community events, business meetings, art, music and cultural events and more! Steeple Square is inspiring futures!
