experienced a steady growth with the
building of South Butte. An assistant
priest was added to take care Of the
additional work and to give the people
the convenience Of four Masses on
Sundays instead of two. A building
was purchased for the Sisters resi-
dence at the northeast corner Of Utah
avenue and Second street, and two
lots at the northwest corner Of the
same intersecting streets for site on
which to erect church building.
In May, 1910, Father Lothian was
transferred to Bozeman, and Father
j. B. Thompson was appointed to sue
coed him. Though there was a grow

til the basement of the new edifice
was completed.
The school opened in September,
1901, with an enrolment of ia pu-
pills. Sisters Mary Cecilia, Brigida
and Mary Angelina of the Sisters Of
Charity of Leavenworth, were the
first teachers. From this, the school
has steadily grown and now numbers
about 400 pupils, eight class teachers
and a music teacher.
The handsome Sacred Heart church
which stood in the four hundred block
on East Park street was opened for
divine service on Christmas Day, 1903,
the corner stone having been laid.
June q, 1903, by Bishop Keane Of
Cheyenne, Wyoming. At the same
time that the church was erected
parish house was also built
Father Callaghan continued to be
pastor until his untimely death, Sep
TENDER 25, 1906. During the five years
of his pastorate, he was assisted by
Fathers Stack, Ahern, McGlynn,
Giacolene, Heating, Leschner and
Carr
Early in September, 1905, Father
Heating met with an accident which
by all who knew him.
Upon the death Of Father Callaghan,
Father Carr assumed the duties of
pastor, assisted by Fathers Leschner
and Morris.
In 1908 Father Sullivan succeeded
Father Carr and continued the work
until September, 1910, when he was
appointed first president of Mt.
Charles College. During his two years
at the Sacred Heart he was assisted
by Fathers Leschner, Morris and
Lynch.
September, 1910, found Father
Venus pastor. He continued in this
office until October, 1918, when, upon
the death of Mgr. De Siere he was
appointed irremovable pastor of st.
Patrick's parish.
1t was during the pastorate of Fa.
ther Venus, on November II, 1912,
that the beautiful structure erected
by Father Callaghan was destroyed by
fire.
Owing to the flooded conditions of
the basement, school could not be held

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH OF
BUTTE CITY.

The re-dedication of the remodeled
st. Patricks church, Butte City, Mont,
by His Lordship Bishop Brondel on
February 10, gives us an opportune oc.
casion to give a brief history of the
growth of Catholicity in Montana's
metropolis. Butte City, the world
wide known mining camp, forms the
principal part of Silver Bow county,
named derived, according to Father
Palladine, S. j., our trusty guide in
this rapid description, from a spot a
few miles southwest of Butte, where
a beautiful stream gracefully bends its
course into the shape of curved In
dian bow. In January, 1864, when
four rough but gallant Knights of the
Pick and Shovel were discussing what
name to give the place, the sun all
at once peeped through the cloudy
January sky, and rejecting it's silvery
rays on the bright waters of the creek,
the name most appropriate suggested
itself as that of Silver Bow. Father
Georda, S. j., was the first priest who
visited Silver Bow, May Is, 1866. The
place was from 1866 until 1881 a de-
tendency of Deer Lodge, the fruitful
mother of many other churches in
that part of Montana. The pioneer
secular priest of Montana, Father De
Ryckere, has had the satisfaction of
seeing these churches, many of which
surpass the Mother Church, spring UP
and grow under his watchful eye and
fatherly care. Rev. J. J. Dolls can
claim the distinction of being the first
priest of Butte Archbishop Seghers,
then coadjutor of Archbishop Blan-
Chef, had made two visits to the wilds
of Montana; one in 1879 and the 9th
er in 1881, and saw at glance the
urgent necessity of placing priest in
that prosperous and daily growing
mining camp of Butte. At that time,
Montana, like Idaho, was under the
jurisdiction of the Archiepiscopal See
of Oregon City. Father Dolls was the
energetic pastor of Gervais when, on
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1922-09-30

a new church building. By the time
the project of church was being Sc
riously considered, disastrous fire on
February l, 1911, destroyed the school
building. This setback, however,
seemed to be the rallying force that
brought the parishioners together and
when the school was restored, though
under a heavy debt, the foundation of
the church was laid in June, 1911. The
people of the parish subscribed gem
erously and many made great sac
rifice to pay for the construction work.
Ill health prevented Father Thompson
from giving more than a portion of
the time his zeal would have dedicat-
ed to this work, but he was ably help
ed by the cooperation of the parish
trustees and the assistant priest, Fa-
Their M. J. Donahue. The building was
under roof and partially finished in
December, 1911. The first services
were held in the new church on Christ
mas Day. Father Thompson was un-
able to say Mass, though he had in
sisted on being brought to see the
church on Christmas Eve. He died
on December %, 1911. From this date
until May u, 1912, the affairs of the
parish were administered by Rev. M.
J. Donohue.
The present pastor, Rev. M. McCor-
mack, was then transferred from the
pastorate of St. Marys, Butte, to st.
Joseph's. The growth of the parish
necessitated the appointment Of a Sec
ond assistant priest in September,
1915. In 1916, the present commodi-
Gus convent was built with adequate
rooms for sixteen Sisters. The paro,
chial residence was purchased in July,
1872 BY 1917, the parish had out
grown the possibility of taking care
of the increased number of children
who wished to attend the parochial
school, and in order to make proper
provision for their care, two parishes
were established on the south side
st. AIMS and st. John the Evange-
lists.
The parish is now in a flourishing
conultloH, WIFI neat, ColnHOulou6
church building having a seating ca
pacity of five hundred; a modern
school building with an attendance of
three hundred and sixty pupils; an ex-
cellent convent building and suitable
priests residence. The parishioners
take an active interest in all that con-
Germs the spiritual and temporal well
fare of their loved parish.

the city east Of Wyoming street be
given to Father Callaghan.
In January, 1901, a guarantee of $1S,.
900 was given for the erection of the
Church, provided Father Callaghan
should return from Omaha. The late
Bishop Brondel gave his consent to
the division of st. Patrick's parish and
Father Callaghan's return to Butte.
Father Callaghan took charge early
in 1901 and was Immediately placed in
possession of the fund subscribed for
the erection of the church. He soon
found site for the new edifice, the
ground for the same being donated by
Edward Hickey. The parish was named
in honor of the Sacred Heart.
/ For the first two Sundays Father
Callaghan held services in the Noble
Drug Store building. A temporary,
wooden structure was erected which
served both as church and school un-

sionary landing in his new diocese at
Helena, Mont, where Bishop Brondel
welcomed him with open arms. Butte
City, the field of labor for the new mis-
sionary, was growing rapidly, and in
1888 it was necessary to give an as
sistant priest to Father Van de Ven
in the person of Rev. Victor Van Den

home of education left quite debt OF
Butte City which only lately, in tn
latter part of 1896, has been wipe'
out, thanks to the energy of it's pres
ent pastor, Rev. P. Desiere, nobly as
sisted by his large and wealthy congre
cation of over 10000 souls. Rev. F
Desiere took charge of Butte in 1895
He came to the diocese of Helena i
April, 1887, from his native Belgium
where he was born at Houthem, i
Flanders, April Z, 1S43. December q
1867, he was raised to the priesthoo
at Bruges. Father Desiere has bee
zealously assisted in his work by F;

a new church at Walkerville, sui
urb of Butte, which bids fair to riva

and data, to give better descriptio
of this far-famed place with it's lare
