North Side may we'll be proud of their
pastor, whose untiring efforts gave
them one of the most beautiful church
edifices in the city.
st. Charles.
The Church OF st. Charles Bor-
romeo is located at the corner of
Fourth street and Thirteenth avenue
south. Rev. Francis ]. Lang is the
pastor. He Is good organizer, de-
voted to his calling, and though he
has been here but short time ST.
Charles has easily kept pace with the
general growth The parish was Or
ganized by Father Cleary, at the re-
quest of Archbishop Ireland, in the
month of November, 1892. During
the winter of that year and all
through the year 1892, until the last
Sunday of May, 1894, Father Cleary
made use of st. Elizabeth's church
and different public halls for his peo-
pie On the first Sunday in June,
1894, st. Charles church was dedi-
Gated to divine worship by Archbishop
Ireland. The boundaries of the par
ish are from Seventh avenue south
to the river, from the river to Seventh
street south by Cedar avenue, and
to Seventeenth street north of Cedar
avenue, situated mostly in the Sixth
ward.
St. Lawrence.
st. Anthony parish, which en-
braced the entire East Side until
1893, was divided that year by the
erection of St. Lawrence church on
the corner of Seventh street and
Twelfth avenue southeast OF the diff
ferent pastors Father GEMS, who re-
Gently passed away at st. Mary's
hospital, served the longest. Rev. J.
c. Byrne, the present pastor. is
looked upon as one of the ripest
scholars in the archdiocese. His long
connection with the seminary of st.
| Paul is tribute to his ability as a
! theologian. About six years ago
Father Byrne took charge of st. Law
renee parish and his efforts since
have been to improve the condition
of those under his spiritual jurisdic-
ton. On Saturdays he has special in
structions for the children of the par
ish. He gathers the little ones to-
gether and instructs them in their
faith He is chaplain of the Univer-
sity Catholic club composed of Cath
olic students of Minnesotas seat OF
learning.
St. Stephens.
It is now over quarter of cen.
fury since St, Stephens parish was
organized. 1t includes the south
western part of the city. Rev. P
Kenny, now OF st. Anthony, was the
first pastor He was instrumental in
doing the preliminary work in the
parish. He built temporary church
and afterwards erected the imposing
structure, corner of Clinton avenue
and Twenty-second street. Besides
Father Kenny, this church had as
pastors Father, now Archbishop Chris
tie of Portland, Father Fitzpatrick
(deceased), and Father Patrick
Danehy, who died about seven years
ago. It is needless to say that Father
Danehy was one of the brightes
priests in the west. He received his
early training in piety and manliness
under the benign rule of Father James
McGolrick. He had been an altar
boy in the Church of the Immaculate
Conception and while thus serving
mass he resolved to become a priest
How we'll he succeeded is part o.
the history of the Archdiocese of st
Paul. Father Danehy was a leader
in the Church. His scholarly attain
!; ments, his power as an orator and his
pleasing personality made him the
idol of his people. The Church of St
Stephen has worthy successor tt
the honored dead in the person o.
Father Dolphin, who was transferred
from St. Lawrence to St. Stephens
about six years ago. He is in the
prime of life, vigorous, learned ant
, speaker of distinction.

} at Twenty-fourth avenue and Quincy
J street northeast, was built under the
J direction of Rev. James O'Reilly, anC
: it was attended from St. Anthony par
ish for several years., Eight years

of the territory north Of Eighteenth
