The church being mentioned here is likely what is now St. Joseph's (originally St. Mary). St Michael's wasn't started until somewhere around 1912.

rnetzlof Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Key phrase: "The new church will be located...not far from St. Catharine's..." which would be true of St. Joseph's, not of St. Michael's. Pompeii 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conservativeman633 Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 St. Michaels was the Polish Church---there was no other. St. Michaels is also in the First Ward as the news item mentions. It appears that in 1891(not 1890, my error) the people were gathering to discuss and plan a Polish Church which was to become St. Michaels when finally built. St. Michaels is "not far" from St. Catherines, especially the original church which was closer than the present one today. In other words, as the title of the thread suggests, the "birth" of St. Michaels church. St. Joseph was the Lithuanian/Slovak Church....not Polish.... Just thought others would have some interest in this subject, and apparently some do ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thought others would have some interest in this subject, and apparently some do ! Again, you're likely mistaken about what church was being discussed. There was a progression of Catholic churches with St. Mike's starting up somewhere around 1911-12. St. Josephs, which was built roughly two or three years after this piece, falls in the time-frame you're looking at. I read this piece several years ago, and it deals primarily with the succession of parish priests at St. Joe's, but it also includes many of the relevant dates and events surrounding other parishes as well. It's actually a very good read. There's some items about St. Mike's on Page 3. https://dioceseoferie.org/stcathstmikedubois/images/pdf/StJosephHistory.pdf This one seems to discount your thoughts out-of-hand. https://liturgicalcenter.org/media/parish_pdf/E/e-7.1.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the authors of the first one, but I don't know who wrote the second. They were great to read! Again, the news item I posted was the "birth" of the Polish church in the first ward, though years from the actual building. Remember a "church" is far more than a 'building', and it started far before 1911-12. Much like St. Catherines started far before the first actual building of a 'church'... It seems that , in 1891, the idea of their own Polish church was "born" in their minds & hearts, and a mere 20 years later it came to pass. No, it is not St. Joseph at all. The article of 1891 is the earliest known mention of what will eventually be St. Michaels Church (building) in DuBois.. BTW, Fr. Urbonas is the namesake of the local K of C council because of his devotion to the order...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahatma Kane Jeeves Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 History of St. Michaels https://dioceseoferie.org/stcathstmikedubois/images/pdf/stmike1912-1997.pdf https://dioceseoferie.org/stcathstmikedubois/images/pdf/stmike1912-1962.pdf I also have a program from an early anniversary celebration of St. Michaels. It is entirely in Polish. I'm not sure where I put it away. I'll have to do some digging. conservativeman633 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
