School Plant Planned
In November of 1944, the par
ish grounds were paved to pro
vide adequate playground and
parkins area. In 1945 the Scol-
lard property was purchased by
the parish which will be the
future site of the new St. Luke's

school bus in 194S to provide
transportation for parish stu
dents to the Catholic high
schools at Mt. Angel.
In 1946 an intensive drive
was started to obtain necessary
funds for a new school. After
three years of effort, the men
of the parish met with the pas

mulate plans for the new school
building. A parish building com
mittee has now been formed,
with tentative plans to com
mence the school building with

between 1899 and 1910, was le
gaily organized as St. Luke's

26, 1945, with six men from

lence of Peter Hagenauer, the
parish house was completely
renovated in June and complet
ed at Christmas of 1948.

Luke's.
Early history of the Wood
burn Catholic mission is incom
plete, but it is certain that Arch
bishop Blanchet established it
in the 1870's and appointed the
Rev. Alois Sommer of Gervais
as mission priest. Just prior to
its foundation as a parish, the
Rev. Prior Adelhelm Odermatt,
OSB, from St. Benedict's abbey,
Mt. Angel, cared for the Wood
burn mission.
In 1899 Archbishop Christie
established St. Luke's parish and
appointed the Rev. L. A. Le
Miller as pastor. Father LeMil
ler immediately set to work to
build a church, since Catholic
services were being held in a
community hall. Work on the
' first church began in October
of 1899. The cornerstone was
laid on September 9, 1900, and
the church was dedicated by
Archbishop Christie on October
20, 1901.
Parish House Erected
It was during the Rev. J. A.
Levesque's pastorate from 1901
to 1908 that an addition was
added to the church building,
consisting of a new sanctuary
and sacristy, to accommodate
the growing population. The
parish house was built in 1902,
and in the same year the pres
ent church bell was obtained.
St. Benedict's school, paro-
opened in September of 1903.
The first enrollment totaled 38,
but before the year was com
plete there were 62 students
The original school building con
tinues to serve the present en
rollment of 182, but plans are
now being formulated to build
a new St. Luke's school.
It was not until 1923, when
the Rev. J. E. Rubis was ap
pointed pastor, that further
buildings were added. Father
Rubis built St. Luke's hall in
1927. He then started a new
church fund and on April 17,
1933, the first St. Luke's church
was torn down and work com
menced on the new church. The
cornerstone was laid by Arch
bishop Howard on July 2, 1933,
and the first mass was offered
in the new church on Christmas
of that year. Archbishop How-
