St. Anthony's Catholic Church was formally dedicated in 1954, with the above mosaic installed in the vestibule in 1962 to signify the completion of a long-awaited dream. The Bishop of the San Fran cisco Diocese long realized the Catholics in the Northern Cali fornia mining country needed the comforts the practice of their faith could give them and en visioned church buildings in each rommunily. But in the meantime, the hardy missionaries said mass wherever they were needed in whatever buildings were available in farm houses, hotels, tents, or mining huts. time. In July of 1R55 two young Irish priests, Rev. James Cassin and Rev. Thomas Cody, were appoint ed to the Siskiyou County head quarters at Yreka. They first landed, 'alter traveling over 200 miles of hazardous trails, at Cal laghans ranch in the southern end of Scott Valley and held services in the ranch house. Leav ing Callaghan, they passed through Rough and Ready, now Presbyterian Missionary To Address Local Groups The congregations of the First Presbyterian Church and Peace Memorial Presbyterian Churcn will meet together Thursday, .April 25, to hear Miss Florence L. Logan, Presbyterian fraternal Worker recently returned from Taiwan. Beginning at 7:30 p.m.. Miss Logan's program will feature slides on the work . done in the Middle East. First Presbyterian will be the host church, provid ing child care and special films for children. A family night politick at 6:30 p.m. Vs-ill precede the speaker. Mrs. Don Bauer, missionary ed ucation secretary, will be in charge of the family night ar rangements. Miss Logan, now in retirement, taught Bible and personal evange lism at the Presbyterian Bible School at Hsin Chee and also directed the self - help depart ment. The school is under the direction of the Presbyterian Church in Formosa. A native of the slate of Wash ington. Miss I-ogan was gradu ated from the University of Wash, ington. Seattle, in 1919 and spent the next two years studying at the Bible Institute of Los Ange les and Moody Bible Institute. Chicago. In 121 she was appoint ed by the former Board of For eign Missions of the4 Presbyter ian Church, U.S.A. and assigned to China. After language study she was stationed at Paoting. near Pe king, lor country evangelistic work among women and children. After her first furlough, during which she served as director of religious education at First Pres byterian Church. Everett, Wash., she returned to Paoting and con- Miss Logan was in Paoting when the United States entered the war. Her activities were greatly restricted, but she kept in touch with many of her Chi nese colleagues. In 1942 she was repatriated and for the next few years was on the staff of the Eastshore Community Church in Richmond. Rack in Paoting in January. 1947, Miss Logan again took up her evangelisjlie and relief work. She opened a hostel for refugee girls and a child welfare center, led hospital chapel services, and conducted Bible classes for stu dents and businessmen. She and one oilier American woman were the only westerners in the city. In 1D52, Miss Logan was trans ferred to Taiwan to serve under the Church of Christ in Taiwan, through the Canadian Presbyte rian Church, in evangelistic work among Mandarin-speaking refu gees from the China mainland. t t '. 4 i J ching. But they immediately set to work and erected a frame church, which was replaced by a ikw brick church in 18ti6. South of Yreka, the two priests visited Greenhorn, Deadwood, Fort Jones, Greenview, Etna Mills, and Callaghan. Other towns on their tours included Scott Bar, Som- mes Bar, Forks o the Salmon River. Sawyers Bar, Orleans, and Happy Camp.' All of these communities we reached on foot or by mule. In 1857 Rev. Schweninger was apiwinted a pastor at Yreka, but Ihe following year the parish was without a resident priest. A Rev. L. Shnyder took over in 1859 and held regular services at Hawkins- ville, French Bar, and Scott Bar. In I8(0 arrangements were concluded to transfer Siskiyou County into the nevly formed Vicariate of Marysville. After a succession of priests. reka was again with a pastor in 1863. In 1864 another new priest arrived and over a periud of years many advances were made in the building of mission churches in Siskiyou County. The town of McCloud was add ed to the list of missions in 1903, and an independent parish was created at Dunsmiur. The parish of Dunsmuir then took on the missions of Edgeweood, Mott, Sis son mow Mount Shasta', Squaw Valley, and Upton. In 1912, Mc- ( loud and Sisson remained as Dunsmuir missions, but Edge- wood, Molt and Upton became attached once more to Yreka. Until 1919 a Rev. Carr was pastor of Dunsmuir, succeeded by Rev. Patrick Cronan, who stayed until 1922. In July of that year a young priest named Rev. Mi chael Myles assummed the duties' o( the parish for a few months. In those days the priest walked the eight miles betweep Duns muir and Mount Shasta as there were no roads, but on special occasions there was a train available. Weed is mentioned as a mis sion of Dunsmuir during this pe riod, and in 1937 it was made a separate parish. Mount Shasta continued to .re main a part of the DunsVnuir pa rish for several years, but ir 1947 it also became Independent and St. Anthony's Parish was formed. Rev. Edward Christen of Sacramento was named pastnr ol the new parish and said his first mass in mount Shasta in Nov. 9, 1W7. He remained until 1955 when Rev. Myles, who had served the area many years before, was sent from Yreka to take his place. Rev. Mvles is still with St. An thony's and Rev. Christen is now back in Sacramento. In the next few years. Parish ioners pitched in to build a small hall, rectory, and a new church, turning the old church into a hall. The new church was dedi cated in 1954 by Bishop Robert Armstrong of the Sacramento Dio cese, wun wnicn mi. Aninony s has long been associated. In 1954, the dream of the Bish op of the San Francisco Diocese almost 101 years earlier was rea lized. Through the efforts of dedi icated missionary labors and the hard work of pioneer ranchers ind miners. St. Anthony's Parish and Mount Shasta finally boasted modern brick church complete with mosaic windows. In 1962 a large mosaic was installed in the vestibule, adding an air of peaceful dignity St. Anthony's Altar Society also played an important role in es tablishing the present church. Many thousands of dollars were raised by the society over a pe riod of vears to attain the goal oi a new sanctuary furnished w ith beautiful statues and altar cloths of expensive linen and lace, cre ated bv the women themselves. St. Anthony's May then is far removed from mule rides, 'gold diggings, and masses conducted in tents. Areas Gain In Members ANDERSON.
