The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1932-06-30
vour Bishop James Trobeck, of

your Bishop James Trobeck, Of
Happy Memory, to try to make
something out of this congre-
CATION, try and build it up,
this command you did obey.
You did make something of this
little flock of 1899. You built up
a strong congregation, spirit
ually and numerically. The
buildings which all have been
built with the exception of
part of the Parochial School
will stand as a monument to
you. The corner stone of st.
Pauls Church, with your name
inscribed, will be there to bring
testimony of your labors when
perhaps all of us now here have
gone to our happy rewards.
We, the members of st. Paups
Church, feel both thankful and
proud that God had really given
you the health and energy and
the grace to work in his vine
yard all these years in our
midst.
The citizens of Sank Centre
as a whole point with pride to
your achievements as builder,
as a Priest and as a citizen.
Many prayers have been Of
fered up for you, especially in
the last two years; especially
many prayers and communions
were offered in your behalf
since ill health has begun to
show, and again 1 want to say
that in behalf of your good
parishioners for whom you
have offered most all of your
priestly life, to whom you have
given your sacrifice, your en-
ergy and your health, accept
this list of names as token of
love, good will, appreciation and
a debt of gratitude.
May God bless you and may
your much needed rest again
give you health, is the happy
wish and prayer of all your
parishioners.
