Steeple Square

Steeple Square Steeple Square is the former St. Mary's Church campus, now a non-profit organization inspiring futures. The former St. Helen Huewe Culinary Kitchen.

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.
