NEW CHURCH DEDICATEE
Dedication of St. Patrick's Church
a Brilliant Function.
BEAUTIFUL BUILDING PAID FOR
Banquet in the Evening at the K. C.
Hall one of the Most Success
ful in City’s History.
Wednesday October 19th was a
great day for O’Neill. On that day
was dedicated to the service of God
and the salvation of men, the new
church of St. Patrick. The event was
not only notable in itself but is ta re
markable proof of the Wonderful
growth and prosperity of the com
munity.
The ceremonies constituting the
dedication were the most brilliant
and solem ever seen in O’Neill, and
were witnessed by more than two
thousand people who came Ifrom all
parts of Nebraska and surrounding
Bates to take part in this notable
'unction.
by Very Rev. Eugene Mageveny S. J.,
who said in part:
The greatest thing in the world is
the Christian religion. Man cannot
do without religion, and does not do
without it. If he finds no creed al
ready made to suit him, he makes a
creed for himself. He must have
either Christianity or some substitute
for tit: because religion is absolutely
essential to the human mind and soul.
What is religion? It is man’s
answer to the riddle of the universe.
We endeavor, to explain the many
mysterious facts and operations of
Nature, and to reconcile the visable
and invisible, the material and the
spiritual, the natural and the super
natural, the human and the Divine.
But the more we try to do this by
means of reason alone the more hope
lessly we shall grope in the dark.
We need Light. The great cry of
the medern world is for Light! Some
proud and hauty minds seek this light
in philosophy alone, in Naturalism,
in Materialism, in Utilitarianism, or
in Hedonism. But there are things
I within and things without us which
reason alone cannot explain. So phil
parish under the auspicies of
the Knights of Columbus; covers
were laid for 300 ladies and
gentlemen. Many distinguished lay
men were present including Ex-Senat
or and Mrs. Kearns, of Salt Lake City,
who came in a private car to witness
the dedication of the church towards
the erection of which he and his es
timable wife donated $5,000.
After the coffee, Mr. John A. Har
mon as toastmaster in a very happy
little speech which put everybody at
their ease, and in which the shafts of
bis wit flew in all directions sparing
not even the dignified guests at the
head table, introduced Hon. M. F.
Harringion who spoke of the wondei
ful progress made by the people of
O’Neill in all things, but especially in
a religious and educational way. He
paid a very high tribute to the per
sonal worth and energy of the rever
ened pastor, Father M. F. Cassidy,
who has done so much for the people
of O’Neill in the building of the
churches and schools, without ever
taking thought for himself. The
speaker thought that since Father
Jassidy had Idone so much for the*

Three bishops assisted by several
if the leading priests of the diocese
larticipated in the ceremony of dedi
ation and pontifical high I mass,
Chese were the bishops present Right
lev. Richard Scanned of Omaha,
tight Rev. Phillip J. Garrigan of
iioux City and Right Rev James J.
Ceane of Cheyenne, Wyo.
In this ceremony the blessing of
Umighty God was invoked upon the
tuddingand it was formally offered
ipto His service. When this ritual
vas completed the laity were permit
ed to enter the edifice which had
leen transformed from a mere pile of
iricks and mortar into St. Patrick’s
latholic church. Then began the cel
ebration of pontifical high mass in
vhich Bishop Garrigan was celebrant,
father J. T. Smith assistant priest
father Carrol deacon, and Father T.
P. Moriarty sub-deacon, and Father
itenson was master of ceremonies.
An edifying feature of the mass was
he complete and well trained choir
vhich rendered “The mass In honor
if St. Louis”.
While Rt. Rev. Bishop Scanned oc
;upied the throne Rt. Rev. Bishop
\eane and the following clergy sat
vitliin the sanctuary during the
nass: Rev. Father Loecker, Fathei
lungels, Father Buckley, Father Har
ington. Father Streatman, Father
Jrowley.

Smith, John Sullivan, Ambrose Big
lin, Edward Campbell and Martin
Kane. Miss Loretta Sullivan presided
at the organ while Dr. G. Sturdevanl
accompanied on the violin and Misi
Scott on the cello.
FATHER MAGEVNEY’S SERMON.
The dedication sermon was praachei
osophy is inadequate to furnish com
plete light. We need the light of
faith. Faith, Christian faith alone
gives the true answer to the mysteries
which sorround us.
It is because the church is the de
pository of this faith that it has en
dured the attacks and assaults of its
enemies and the vicissitudes of nine
teen centuries of varied civilization,
in different climes and antagonistic
forms of government, until today it is
the only solid, unchanging thing in a
changing world. It is the only sound
and healthy thing in a society that is
diseased and crumbling. The church
is not here to be taught. It teaches.
It does not minimize personal liberty
and responsibility, it does not com
promise and it does not mince matters,
but speaks out plain and loud regard
less of whom or what interest its
speech may effect, yet with “malice
towards none and with charity for
all.”
In the afternoon hundreds of the
visitors inspected that magnificent
structure which O’Neilites affection
ately call “the convent” the formal
name of which is St. Mary’s Academy.
The original building erected ten
years ago at a cost of $60,000 has long
been the admiration of strangers and
the pride of our citizens. But what
shall we say of the institution as it
stands now with its $50,000 addition
rapildy approaching completion?
Truly it is a magnificent structure,
and magnificent is the faith of
the good sisters who have given it to
our city, for strange as It may seem the
erection of this great building has
cost our city nothing. It is financed
entirely by tbe Franciscan order of
sisters.
In the morning the church looked
very beautiful but in the evening it
was indeed a most beautiful sight
with its numerous lights and candles.
Promptly at seven o’clock the evening
services began; the Bishops, priests
and alter boys filed out onto the alter
and took their places. The rosary oi
the Blessed Virgin was recited after
which Bishop Keane of Cheyenne
delivered an eloquent and uplifting
sermon. Solemn benediction of the
Blessed Sacrament, which was a verj
imposing ceremony, closed the day’i
services in the new St. Patrick’;
church. _
THE BANQUET.
The day events were brought to i
1 close by a banquet at the K. of C. hal
at nine o’clock in the evening wide!
was tendered to the distinguishei
1 visitors by the people of St. Patrick’
people of O’Neill that they should
now do something for him and before
long should build him a residence in
harmony with the beautiful church I
on the one hand and the magnificent 1
academy on the other, a sentiment i
which was warmly applauded by the
audience.
The next speaker was T. V. Golden
who expressed his approval of all that '
had been said by Mr. Harrington but 1
also thought that, since the people of '<
O’Neill have demonstrated their
ability to do big things and as the
town is badly in need of a hotel build
ing whereia to entertain the travel
ing public and the distinguished
guests who from time to time visltour
city we should put our heads and shoul
ders together and accomplish the erec- '
tion of a hotel building In consonance
with our other institutions. This

sentiment was also applauded and ap
proved.
The Rev. Father Cassidy was then
called upon and jin a voice trembling
with emotion expressed his gratitude
to his people for their whole souled co
operation with him in the many im
portant undertakings which they and
he had been enabled to carry ito a suc
cessful issue. He was glad to an
nounce that the new churchidedicated
with such profound and solemn cere
monies was entirely paid for, a state
ment which was a pleasant surprise
to the majority of the audience and
which is something almost unprecedr
ented In the history of our state
where almost every church is strug
gling with debt. It is a tribute to
the great executive ability of our pas
tor.
Rev Bishop Garrlgan of Sioux|Clty
responded to the call of the toast mas
ter with a few well chosen remarks
and then Senator Kearns of Utah was
called to the floor. He spoke feeling
ly of O'Neill, the home of his boyhood
where he was accustomed to run bare-,
footed over the prairies in the early
days. He talked with emotion of his
early associations wlth'Father Cassidy
and also with Father John T. Smith,
former pastor and founder of St. Pat
rick’s parish, for both of whom in ills
boyhood days ha entertained a mixed
feeling fluctuating between love and
awe. He scarcely needed to remind
the audience of his great attachment
to O’Neill where he grew up in healr
thy poverty, his parents having noth-,
Ing to give him in the way of msterla}
wealth, but how with the assistance^
if the good priests of the parish gave
Him something mrtch better than'
material fortune, a sound splritualied
iicatlon which together with a good
physique and the opportunities afford-^
?d by a free country were all that
my young man may desire for success.
He spoke of the fact that hiB parents
md brothers and sisters were Interred
n the little cemetery on the hil
10 matter how far his worldly
night call him and no matter whav
jie vicissitudes of life might brin^
dm, he would always remember
3’Neill, its good priest and fits warms
Hearted people, for one of the tests of
t,he true man is to remember in the
lays of his success and prosperity the
iear old friends and companions of his'
Humbler days. The assembled guestsj
were profoundly touched by the re
marks of Senator Kearns.
