PRIEST ORGANIZES
CATHOLIC COLONY
Bishop Lehman Of Great Falls En-.
thusiastic Over Father o'Brien's
Undertaking.

The Rev. M. T. O'Brien, priest
laboring out in Montana, conceived
the idea of founding colony of Cath.
Ollie settlers, and he has had wonder
full success with his work.
1T was a few years ago." said
Father O'Brien, that I conceived the
idea that priest might devote his
life to no better cause than in ad-
ministering to the wants of the very
sparsely settled communities Of the
great West. l thought that by the
establishment of a Catholic colony
with number Of other fixed centers
in the surrounding country, the peo-
pie would be enabled to assist at the
Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and re-
ceive the Sacramento at regular in
tervals."
Rt. Rev. Matthias G. Lenihan, d. D.,
Bishop of the Diocese of Great Falls,
was interviewed and heartily ap-
proved the plan.
The spot he selected was a portion
of the broad and unsettled plains of
central Montana. "a.

hood" admitted Father O'Brien, lis
fifty miles distant"
But that did not discourage him.
In the area of his new missions, be.
tween five and six thousand square
miles, not a single church could be
found. But that was two years ago.
Now things are different. They are
beginning to take on new aspect.
Through the generous gifts have
received from the Catholic Church
Extension society,"" said Father
O'Brien, "as well as from those ex-
pect to get, hope to be able to build
three churches before the close of
the year. have established five 9th.
er centers, and my people are able
to hear Mass occasionally now, though
often on week days instead of Sun.

Father O'Brien is hoping that his
work may be crowned with Gods

or chapel where his people may wor.
ship their Creator. The Catholic
