HISTORY OF ST. PATRlCk'S
CHURCH OF BUTTE.

The history of st. Patrick's parish
in it's carry days seems so intimately
connected with the history of Silver
Bow as to make one and the same. 1t
is a history of more than ordinary
growth and beset with no small diff
culties. When we consider that 43
years ago today there was not one
house where $4,000 people are living
now; when we observe that 20 years
ago there was one priest where now
13 seem to have their hands full, only
one little church, and now z; only one
little excuse of school with some rs
pupils; whilst now we count 5 schools
and 2 under construction; and not
less than 1900 pupils with a hopeful
prospect of 5000, at least, at the next
term; we must recognize wonderful
growth. Still we stand so close up to
the principal events that it may seem
hard to pronounce an impartial judg'
ment; most of those having an impor,
tant' share in them being still alive.
That portion of Montana where Butte
is fourishing today was hardly ever
visited so years ago. In fact, we new
er saw it mentioned in any writings
of that time. Placer mines were first
discovered in 1864, and the name of
Butte was selected from the isolated
mound or Butte which stands there
lonesome and solemn on our western
SIDE Father Gionda, S. j., is said to
have visited some Catholics on May
Is, 1865, in our .neighborhood, and Fa-
Their Happens, S. j., seems to have
been around the spot where Butte
stands, in the fall of the same year.
In 1866, Father De Ryckere was sent
to the eastern section of the Mes
gualy diocese. This region was so
very little known at headquarters that
he was instructed to also visit Helena,
although it belonged to the Omaha do
cese. He landed in Cottonwood, later
called Deer Lodge, where he found 5
or 6 Catholics and small number
of Indians and half-breeds. This mis-

matters in connection with the enter
Prise We're closed up, it was found
that it had netted $S,054. Work on
TIE new residence was Immediately
begun, and the building was ready for
occupancy in August of the same year.
In 1900,. a school consisting of four
rooms and basement was erected;
the Sisters occupied the basement as
their dwelling, but on account of the
increased number of pupils, the follow
ing school term it became necessary
to convert the basement into a class
room. The Sisters then secured cot
tage on ONeil street, where they re-
manned until their present residence
was built In 1904, the Sisters home
was erected. To raise the necessary
funds for this project, the rector and
two Sisters attended, "a public meeting
of the Miners Union for the purpose
of securing permission to take up a
collection in the various mines. This
request was granted without a dissent
ing vote, and the result of the collec-
ton was that the Sisters residence
was built exclusively by the hard
earned money of the generous miners
of Butte. In 1905, it became neces-
sary to build an addition to the school,
this addition consisting of two rooms
on the first floor and three class
rooms and a stage on the second

| Bishop Carroll secured the services of
an Italian priest in the person of Rev
| Father James Franchi, to look after
the spiritual wants of the Italians of
Browns Gulch and Walkerville, who
number nearly $50. This had been a
long-felt want, for many of these PEG
pie, particularly the women, possess
a very small knowledge of the English

could speak their mother tongue, they
naturally grow careless and indiffer

way to regular quartz mining and so,
in 1878, eighteen children were bap-
tized, although there were only nine
in 1879 and two in 1880. In 1881, Fa-
Their Dolls was sent to Butte as the
first resident priest. He arrived March
IS. His administration was beset with
all kinds of difficulties which are eX-
planned in various ways and attribut-
ed to all sorts of causes, hard, perhaps,
to discuss today. A little house was
built as a priest residence at cost
of $4,000, the main portion Of which
forms today the dwelling house of our
sexton. In 1883. the new St. Patrick's
church was erected at the cost of $751;
900. In 1881, st. james, hospital was
opened, November Is, with one pa
tient, one of the Sisters still doing
work in the community, and who was
taken down with typhoid fever An
attempt was also made in the year of
1888 to establish Catholic school, but
failed. 1t was no easy matter at this
time to secure Sisters, especially for
teaching purposes; and those who pre-
sented themselves either belonged to
kind of a wandering crew upon
which the Church could hardly rely.
In December, 1885, Father Tremblay
assumed the place of Father Dolls, who
was granted much needed vacation.
Father Tremblay's health also gave
out, and one year later, Father Van
de Ven was appointed, and eighteen
months later, Father Desiere became
his first assistant. Up till now, the
rector had mostly been alone, owing
to the lack of priests in our far West.
Ever since, one assistant, little lat
er two and sometimes three were al
lowed to st. Patrick's. It may seem
impossible to enter into details about
the work of those Reverend Fathers;
the more so that most of them remain
ed only short time, being needed in
other fields. 1t is pleasant to record
that some have done most efficient
work and that most Of them have
earned the gratitude of the flock. Al
most everyone was only taken away

sion extended over the whole coun-
try which forms now the counties of
Silver Bow, Powell, Granite and Deer
Lodge. In 1866, he performed one bap-
tism in Butte and one or two more
every year until 1878. Catholics seem
ed slow coming this way. In 1867,
there were in and around our present
location 1000 people with only six or
seven Catholic families. In 1867, a
little frame structure was started at
Rocker, but was never completed, the
people fiuctuating back and forth. To-
ward the end of 1877, frame church
was erected just west of the present
st. Patricks church location, and was
blessed in 1879 by Archbishop Leg
hers.S After an eloquent sermon, the
Archbishop called upon the congrega-
tion far the name to be given; and by
practically unanimous assent, the
name of st. Patrick was selected. The
little bell still hanging in our belfry
was secured by means of a concert.
From now on, the population began
TO grow and the number of Catholics
INCREASED. Placer mining had given
"a
