FIRST CATHOLIC MISSIONS
FOUNDED IN OLD OREGON

The. founding of the Catholic mis-
sions in "Old Oregon" forms one of
the most entertaining chapters in the
history of the northwest.
No sooner had the Canadian set
tiers of the Willamette valley turned
the first sod for their crops. than
their minds turned to their religion,
and on July 8, 1884. the first request
for Catholic priests and teachers ever
sent out of Oregon was made by the
French settlers of Frencn Prairie,
near Salem.
This historic appeal was made to
Bishop j. n. Provencher of the do
cese of Juliopolis in the Red River
district, the nearest Catholic official
to Oregon at that time.
Bishop Provencher replied that
there was not an available priest or
teacher in his diocese for service in
oregon. But he promised to obtain
help from Europe.
In 1885 the Lees, the Methodist
missionaries, arrived in the William
ette valley and began TO teach and
preach. This stimulated thecCatholics
to secure teachers of their own faith,
and renewed efforts were made.
1t required six months to travel
from Fort Vancouver to London. by
river batteaux, mountain trail sledge,
horseback and finally steamer across
the Atlantic, but in 1896 DR.. John
Mclaughlin and a committee Of
Catholics in the employ of the Hud-
son Bay company, made request that
two priests be given free passage
with the Hudson Bay express sent
out from Montreal that year. to Van
couver.
As a result of this request from the
wilds of the new continent, Father
Francis Blanchet, with the title of
vicar-general of Oregon, and Father
Demers. with title of assistant were
sent out from Montreal. the first
| Catholic priests ever assigned to serv-
ice in oregon territory.
They left Montreal in May. 1888,
and arrived at Fort Vancouver late
that fall, after having lost IL of their
party in making the descent of the
rapids at the dalles of the Columbia
river.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-10-29

The first important task of the new
priests was to perform marriage GER
emOnies for the French settlers and
their Indian wives. many of whom had
never been legally wed and some of
whom had been married by the "un-
holy rites" of the Methodists.
1t is said that between 1910, the
beginning of active Catholic labor in
900 Indians embraced that faith in
the northwest.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-10-29

The Hudson Bay company sent the
priests on condition that they should
establish their missions north of the
Columbia river since the territory
south of the river was in dispute and
might become American ,erritory.
So the first Catholic mission in the
northwest was founded by Father
Blanchet at the French settlement on
the Cowlitz river. northwest of Van
couver, and there on October "A, 1899.
Father Demers who had been assign
ed to Cowlitz, sounded the first Cath
olic church bell which ever re-
sounded through the soltudes of "old
Oregon" At that time there were but
eight families comprising 46 persons.
in the Cowltz settlement. but Father
Demers added converts from among
the Indians until the mission was
largely attended
The Cowlitz mission was chrlstened

farm consisted of "a acres, on which
was erected a meeting house and res

Almost three months later. on jan
uary 6, 1910, Father Blanchet dedl-
Gated the first Catholic mission ever
erected in oregon. II was located on
French Prairie and was christened
st. Paul mission, and in this great log
house, 30x7O feet in size, which had
been erected by the enthusiastic
French settlers in 1886, the first mass
ever heard in oregon was celebrated
on January s, 1910.
For three weeks after the dedica-
tion of st. Paul mission a religious re-
vival was held, so enthusiastic were
the jolly French settlers in securing
a native priest for their new church.
Immediately thereafter Father
Blanchet assisted the French settlers
in laying out a farm a square mile in
extent for each settler.
