HISTORY OF ST. JOSEPH CATHOLIC
CHURCH--IZS PAST AND ITS PRESENT

wear 1880 when, entirely too small for
the growing congregation, it was re-
n|aced by a brick edi6ce erected by
Father H. Blanc, and dedicated by
Bishop de Neckere and was considered
an imposing edifce at that time. There
are several persons still living who re-
member this second church and de-
scribe it as attractive and devotional
It stood where the Presbytery Of st.
,Joseph's church is now located, face
Church street and even boasted clock
in its steeple, which had been added in
1898, This second church las most
dkely also the first church) was dedl-
Gated to Our Lady Of Seven Sor-
rows.
In 1850, the congregation having
outgrown Father Blanc's church, no"
too old and unstable to admit OF re-
pairs, the Board of Trustees, compos'
ed of Peter McKitrick, AMBROSE The
riot, Augustin Deplantier, Antoine
puiol. William G. Pike and josiah
Kleinpeter, decided to build a new
brick edifce. Father Cambroizo.
Jesuit priest, the same who had 1ur
nished the plans for the beautiful
Moresque church of the Jesults II
New Orleans, was the architect. Tn
dimensions were to be 100 by 60 fee
but owing to lack Of funds the plan
had to be somewhat modified; $500
was collected and $1,000 borrowed an

stone was laid in 1858. In 1873 tn
church was so heavily in debt (6,o5o!

Attention is called to communlca-
ton published elsewhere in this issue
in. which Tax Payer claims that the
belief of those who voted bonds for
the construction Of Victory Park was
that something about the place should
point out to visitors that it was
planned to honor those who respond
ed to the call to arms during tn
World War rather than place TO
the entertainment of a pleasure lov
ing public. His idea is that dancin,
: floors and swimming pools do no
represent heroism to any great eS
tent; that an arch or monument woul
be more expressive Of the esteem i
/ which our soldier, living and dead, ar
held by Baton Rougeans. Like Fathe

WOMAN'S CLUB
NOTES

Il will be of interest to the men,
bers to hear that the board of man"
ayers just this week sold the pews
and other church furniture acquired
when the club house was bought. The
proceeds of the sale will 60 into the
fund for repairs and it is hoped that
there will be little left over so that
the furnishings committee can begin
its work.
The contractor has about completed
the new platform, and has made con-
siderable progress with the remodel
ing of the tower over main entrance.
! The club house has been we'll pat
ronized since the club was organized,
but it will be used even more IN the
fall and winter. Many Of the clubs
holding membership disband for the
summer, and resume regular meetings
in September or October. The sched-
ule committee finds that after this
month the club house will be used at
least once every day, and frequently
three times day.
The club was very fortunate in the
: house committee for the first three
J, months. 1t consisted of Mines. M. h.
, Edwards. W. P. Craddock, Frank q.
: Clark, Morton Evans and W. h.

t fciency and loyalty that will be hard

In writing up the history of st.
Joseph's Church Of Baton Rouge, La.
one is tempted to use the hackneyed
phrase, that it's beginning is lost in
the dim past" During the French
and for several years after the Span
ish regime, Catholics attended religi-
GUS services in the fort, but in l7S3
owing to the influx Of English speak
ing people the Spanish Governor Gal
vez induced the home government to
secure two priests from the Irish COL
legeat Madrid and in accordance with
the request Father Patrick Brady and
Father Carlos Burke were sent to Bat
on Rouge. 1t was in 1896 however
that the church records, first make
mention Of regular pastor and Or
SANITATION. Or St. Patricks' Day,
March 18th, 1920 the congregation
was incorporated by an act Of Legs
lature.
The earlier records of baptisms
marriages and funerals are all writ
ten in the Spanish language and are
signed by Rev. Carlos Burke, curd az
Baton Rouge" With the advent OF
clergy whose names betray thei1
French extraction comes in 1922 tn
fluent language of France, which wa
not superseded by the English tongu'
until after the Civil War had bee1
fought and lost.
In December 1S49, the Jesuit Faith
ers decided to build college at Bato1
Rouge and assumed charge Of tn
church parish. This college stood a
the intersection of what is now 5,
Hypolite and North streets. Owing t
various causes, chief among whic
were the ravages of yellow fever epi
denies and the great distress cause
by the Civil War this college was 1eV
er the success that had been anticipat
ed, so the Jesuit Fathers finally de
cided to leave Baton Rouge and t
give back the parishto the diocesa
clergy. lsss !. r'@es,t :,

since its existence was free OF debt.
For this all honor is due to the men
who worked necessarily for this hap
py result and whose names should be
held in grateful memory, since most
of them have passed into the Great
Beyond. They we're Emile Droz, Leon

From that time new life seems to
have been infused into the parish. IN
November, 1890 plans were submitted
by Mr.. Dicharry of St. James parish
for the building of church steeple'
]. C. Brown, local contractor, exc
cuted the work, under the supervls'
ion of Mr.. Dicharry and the result
was beautiful steeple 177H teet
high. The cost was $4,000 and cash
payments were made. During the IN
cumbency of Father Wander Heyde
| 1869 the outer walls of the church
were cemented at a cost of $2,10O
, and a little later, the old rectory was
/ demolished and replaced by the pres
ent commodious parochial residence
J Also through Father Wander Heyde':

steeple, and terra Gotta statue o:
St. Joseph came to fill the empty nich'
! in the facade of the church.
And so prosperity, fathered by wis

,. stay in St. Joseph's parish until tn
present day when plans are unde

1t is generally understood that

BILE footed and who keep a sharp look
out while travelling along public roads
so as to jump into the road side ditch
upon seeing an approaching artomo-
bile, driving by persons who imagine
the roads are their individual prop
erty, there will be slight chance OF
loosing their lives. However, aged,
and infrm persons should keep off the
roads so that joy riders and the lels-
ure class will not be compelled to
slow up while out enjoying them
selves. First keep cows penned up
