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 Sisters 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.

Building Skills, Creating Opportunities! ❤️

At Steeple Square, our mission goes beyond preserving a beautiful historic building. It’s about making a lasting impact in our community through Historic Preservation, Education, Early Childcare, and Job Readiness.

Through our partnership with Northeast Iowa Community College, we help support culinary students as they gain hands-on experience, develop valuable skills, and build confidence for their future careers.

From preparing delicious meals to serving our community at special events, these students are learning more than cooking. They’re developing the skills, experience, and confidence needed to pursue meaningful employment and build a more secure future.

✨ Preserving our past. Educating for the future. Creating pathways to meaningful employment.

We’re proud to partner with NICC and be part of a program that connects education, training, and real-world experience with opportunities for success!

That’s the heart of the Steeple Square mission — building a stronger community, one opportunity at a time. ❤️
