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

Catholics in the Northern Cali

comforts the practice of their
faith could give them and en
visioned church buildings in each

the hardy missionaries said mass

In July of 1R55 two young Irish

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.
