"The VIrain's Blessing."

Every Virgin in Spain is illuminated with a taper. In EiJa, near Cordova, an image or portrait of the Virgin and the Babe newborn hangs in well nigh every room in every house. And why1 Because the beautiful belief is rooted in those simple minds that on Christ mas eve, before the clock strikes F, the Virgin, bringing blessings in her train, visits every house where she can find an image or portrait of her son. And many a girl kneels down in robes of white before her humble DOT trait of the Babe and prays and hears a rustling in the room and thinks, "The Virgin comes; she brings me my Christ mas eve blessing" and turns, and, 10, it is her mother, and the Virgins blessing Is the mothers kiss!

Early settlers speak Of Father Pin
to as a most sanity man. frail OF
figure. but faithful In the discharge
OF his duties as missionary priest.
Sitting on a blackboard. whipping
up team OF lazy mules. he was IA
miliar and welcome figure In the
scattered settlements along the trail.
II seems more than likely that Faith
er Pinto may have said mass In La
Junta at some time In the seventies.
but the earliest account we have been
able to find is Of mass celebrated in
the old stone building known as the
Jones building. erected In 1882 and
still standing at the corner Of Colora-
do and First streets, an interesting
landmark. Here Bishop Machebeuf
Of the Diocese OF Denver, said mass
when he visited La Junta. His con.
Eregation consisted mainly OF the
Stephens's. the Bradishes. O'Connors.
O'Neils, Gavagans, Danihers. X. g.
Dalton and the Burns and perhaps
the Doughertys and the Doyles.
Later mass was said once month
In the old adobe school building near
the site Of the present st. Patrick's
church. Bishop Machebeuf organiz-
ed here the first Sunday school and
appointed as teachers the Misses Nora
and Anna Doyle. History relates
that these were earnest teachers,
driving from some miles out OF town
to instruct their classes. Father
Tomaasini. still another Of the Jesuit
Fathers from Pueblo. continued TO
attend this mission until the old
adobe building was purchased and
rcmodeled-the first Catholic church
In Colorado. east OF Pueblo. and II was
soon given pastor Of Its own. The
new parish included the present par

and ministered TO n charge scattered
over the territory included In the
present counties Of Otero. Bent.
Crowley and Prowers. Each has had
his page In the history OF the Catho.
lie church In In Junta. and 10 each OF
these pioneer priests is due In some
part the organizing and upbuiiding Of
the 81. Patrick's church Of today. In
1897 the present stone church rcplac.
Ell tho little adobe building. and In
1907 Father Dilly was placed IN
charge.
Since that time Rocky Ford. Las
Animas. Lamar and Ordway have
each been given . pastor. and these
cities ~ well as Holly and Sugar City
have nov each church Of their own.
