The Dubuque Catholic Benevolent Society was established on January 1, 1872, with a limited membership. John O'Neill was the president. In 1873 an injunction was served on the society restraining it from putting on record its action in adopting a resolution expelling members without trial or appeal, who failed to attend to their church duties at least once a year, and also restraining the society from carrying the resolution into effect by making it an amendment to the constitution. This legal proceeding was made by the minority opposition to the resolution on its passage. (1)

	The Society was dealt a blow in November 1895 from Archbishop [[HENNESSY, John\|John HENNESSY]]. Not only would it not be able to attend a funeral in the regalia of the order, it had to drop the word "Catholic" from its name and never enter a church as a society. It had held a picnic on Sunday, August 15th, the day of celebration of the feast of immaculate conception. This was in violation of a edict from the Council of Baltimore against picnics on holy days. This had been relayed to the society on the morning of August 15th after plans had already been made and expenses paid. The suggestion was made by some local people that the organization be converted to a fraternal insurance organization. (2)		In February 1892 it was decided to abolish the rule that members had to attend funerals of members in full regalia or be assessed a fine of $2.00. The feeling was the rule was a hardship to the living while of no benefit to the dead. It was also decided to hire nurses to attend the sick rather than assign members for this service. (2)
