⁣Hundreds of families in Postville are facing uncertainty following the destructive fire at the Agri Star Meat & Poultry Plant. While the fire did not cause any reported injuries to those at the plant, the repercussions of losing a major employer are just beginning to reverberate across the community. Without the stability of employment, already vulnerable families will soon be facing impossible decisions about rent, utilities, groceries, and their future in Postville.

Community agencies and faith communities have mobilized to respond to this community disaster. We are grateful to our partners across the network for upholding the dignity of those in need. We are collaborating with our partner agencies to assess needs and establish long-term recovery plans.

The Archdiocese of Dubuque and Catholic Charities ask for your prayers for the Postville community during this difficult time. We will share more information about emerging needs as it becomes available.

St. James the Apostle | July 25

Saint James the Apostle is also called James, son of Zebedee, or James the Greater to distinguish him from the other James in Jesus’ group of twelve. Most of what we know about Saint James is recorded in the New Testament.

He and his brother John were collected by Jesus along the sea of Galilee. Matthew 4:18-22 tells the story of Jesus calling first Simon Peter and his brother Andrew and then the sons of Zebedee. In Mark 3:17 the brothers receive a nickname from Jesus who calls them “sons of thunder” because of their many extreme reactions, like that in Luke 9:54 when they offer to call down fire on a Samaritan village.

Saint James was part of Jesus’ intimate circle, a witness to the Transfiguration, the resurrection of Jarius’ daughter, and the agony in the garden of Gethsemane. In A.D. 44 Herod Agrippa had “James, the brother of John, killed by the sword.” (Acts 12:2)

He is the only apostle whose martyrdom is written of in the New Testament. According to Spanish tradition, his body was taken to Santiago de Compostela, Spain where his relics were rediscovered in 9th century.

This tradition has sometimes been attributed to a passage in the Song of Roland which tells of St. James appearing to Charlemagne in a dream, prophesying that Charlemagne would conquer the Moors in Spain. This was followed by a vision of stars which if followed would lead to the saint’s lost tomb. In the Middle Ages Compostela was a hugely popular pilgrimage site.

The saint’s relics continue to rest in the cathedral there and one can still undertake the pilgrimage.
