church is the stained glass windows.
They are in the Munich style, and are
very beautiful and restful to the eye
The window on the east side of the
church, furthest north, is in commem-
grafton Of the Rev. S. N. Dumoulin,
who is especially remembered by the
churches in the eastern part of this
state. On the Goth of June, 1918, he
first celebrated Christian worship in
Pembina county, and to him the faith
full look as the worthy pioneer of that
region. Opposite this window, on the
west side Of the church, the window
bears the name of Father De Smet,
who came up the Missouri river in
1880, and was to the western part Of
the state what Father Dumoulin was
to the eastern part.
Next south, on the east side, is a
window bearing the name of Bishop
Stanley, the present energetic and
highly respected bishop of the state.
Opposite this window is one in memory
Of Bishop Marty, so we'll and favor
ably known to the people of Mandan,
and to all the early settlers of this
state The large window on the west
side Of the church was given by the
local Catholic Foresters, and is copy
of the figure Of the Virgin in one Of
Murillo's great pictures of the Immac-
ulate Conception. This is magnifi-
cent work Of art and appeals to the
lover Of the beautiful very strongly.
On the east side of the church the
large window is the gift of the Catho-
lie Pioneers Of this locality, and repre-
sents st. Joseph with the divine babe
in his arms. Other windows bear the
names Of Father Lemieux, now Of
Fargo, but once the pastor of the Man
Edan church; Father Belcourt, a we'll
known priest in the northeastern part
Of the state; Rev. D. Vincent Collins,
the patron saint of Dean Collins Of
this church, and one of the most IA
nous Of all French priests; Father
Cassidy, the founder of the Mandan
church, who yet lives, although adj
vanced in years and great sufferer;
Rev. Thomas Egan, of Fargo, one of
the most energetic priests of the
church in the state; Father Genin, the
founder Of the church at Bismarck,
and priest who occupies distin-
guished position among the pioneer
Christians of the new northwest; Rev.
j. Il. Malo, who was a missionary of
the early days who delighted to travel
and endure hardships if thereby he
could spread the gospel and secure
converts.
Over the south door is window in
which appears the names of the father
and mother Of Dean Collins-a re.
membrance of these worthy people
that is deserving of conspicuous
place on the edifice which has been
reared largely through the energy and
foresight of their son.
