ST. PAUL'S CATHOLIC CHURCH

The location of st. PauPs Catholic Church

one of the best in the city. The grounds for
this church were purchased as early as 1870
and the following year small frame build
ing was erected and dedicated by Father VAL
entine on June 80, 1871. The Rt. Rev.
Bishop Seidenbush confirmed in this little
church Sept. 1875. In 1902 the contract for
erecting the foundation of a new church was
let to Mr. Paul Koschiol of St. Cloud. The
cornerstone of this new church was laid

but in 1910 they also erected very modern
and comfortable parish house for their pas

built Parochial school, which was opened
on Feb. 10, 1897, with an attendance of so
children taught by two Benedictine Sisters.
Gradually this number increased till in 1912
they opened a third room, and the same
year the parish had the school enlarged and
.remodeled, Within the past year the en-
rollment grew so great they were obliged to
open a fourth room and now they have an
enrolment of 100 to 165 under the guidance
of four Benedictine Sisters. This school

the children of the Church of Our Lady of

combined with the Osakis charge, served by
F. H. Tubbs, and J. Milton Akers was ap-
pointed to the circuit During Rev. Akers'
pastorate the Methodists worshipped in
church belonging to the Presbyterians and
in 1873, in the old Congregational church.
During this year the pastor succeeded in
providing modest parsonage. In December
1873 Smith D. Fry came from Keokuk
Iowa, to take charge Of the Sank Centre Cir
cult. H. S. Hilton, L. Wright, J. Lamberson,
w. M. Spoor, A. w. Cummings, R. C. Am

ing the interval of 1874-'85. The old church
was built in the year 1875, during the pas
torate of Rev. L. Wright. The Rev. A. F.
Foster served the charge from the year 1885
to 1887. The parsonage was remodeled dur
ing this time and both years witnessed gra-
cious revivals in the charge, which materially
added to the strength of the church. From
this time on the pastors followed each other
in rapid succession and the church was SER
we'd in succession by S. G. Briggs, C. W. Law,
son, Fred w. Hart, Lee w. Squier, Thomas
Billing, c. w. Lawson, and Stacy A. Smith.
The Rev. C. B. Brecount served the church
very acceptably from the fall of 1899 to the
summer of 1908, when his fourth term was
filled out by VIM. K. Gray. 1t was during the
pastorate of Rev. Brecount that the church
was reconstructed into it's present FORM

German and Rev. Arenth, of st. Cloud, in

This choir; which at that time was already
pronounced by experts as one of the best in
the state, is very able and faithful one

eight sopranos, five altos, four tenors, and
five bass, with Mr. J. A. Schoenhoff as di-
