PETER'S (BRUSH CREEK) CATHOLIC CHURCH Inside Back Cover Peter Richard Kenrick Kenrick's First Seminary BY JOHN E. RYBOLT, CM.' The life of Peter Richard Kenrick as Archbishop of St. Louis was marked at its beginning and end by concern for two seminaries. The first had a precarious brief existence; the second, which proudly bears the archbishop's name, has flourished for 83 years in St. Louis. In this concern, Kenrick manifested the church's enduring effort to provide priestly candidates with a solid education. A study of the origins of Kenrick's first two seminaries is intended to pay tribute to that great pioneer bishop.l Previous to the establishment of a diocesan structure for the Lou­ isiana Purchase, and then for St. Louis itself (in 1826), the spiritual "John E. Rybolt, CM., is academic dean and professor of Old Testament at Ken­ rick Seminary, St. Louis. He holds graduate degrees in Latin, Near Eastern Languages, Theology and Scripture and is currently completing his doctoral dissertation in Biblical Studies at Saint Louis University. 1 The standard major history of the archdiocese of St. Louis is John Rothensteiner, History of the Archdiocese of St. Louis, 2 vols. (St. Louis, 1928). A smaller, more recent work is William Barnaby Faherty, S.J., Dream by the River: Two Centuries of Saint Louis Catholicism (St. Louis, 1973). A recent work on the seminaries is John David Burke, "The Seminary of Saint Louis, 1818-1918: Foundation for ordination" (unpub­ lished Master's thesis, St. Louis University, 1966). 139 140 Missouri Historical Review needs of the area's Roman Catholic citizens were cared for by a hand­ ful of missionaries, from Canada and Mexico. Beginning in 1818, priests for the diocese of Louisiana and the Floridas studied at St. Mary's of the Barrens, Perryville, Missouri.2 From its foundation in that year until 1842, its faculty of Vincentian Fathers taught Vincen- tian students, candidates for the diocesan clergy and secular college students. The first Bishop of St. Louis, Joseph Rosati, CM., had been superior of his fellow Vincentians at the Barrens, and knew firsthand the concerns of maintaining three sorts of institutions under the same roof. This concern later Influenced his decision to transfer the semi­ nary from the Barrens to St. Louis.3 In 1823, Rosati was elected coadjutor-bishop of the sprawling dio­ cese, and in 1826 he succeeded Bishop William Valentine DuBourg.

  • Parish Apostolate: New Opportunities in the Local Church

    Parish Apostolate: New Opportunities in the Local Church

    IV. PARISH APOSTOLATE: NEW OPPORTUNITIES IN THE LOCAL CHURCH by John E. Rybolt, C.M. Beginning with the original contract establishing the Community, 17 April 1625, Vincentians have worked in parishes. At fIrst they merely assisted diocesan pastors, but with the foundation at Toul in 1635, the fIrst outside of Paris, they assumed local pastorates. Saint Vincent himself had been the pastor of Clichy-Ia-Garenne near Paris (1612-1625), and briefly (1617) of Buenans and Chatillon­ les-Dombes in the diocese of Lyons. Later, as superior general, he accepted eight parish foundations for his community. He did so with some misgiving, however, fearing the abandonment of the country poor. A letter of 1653 presents at least part of his outlook: ., .parishes are not our affair. We have very few, as you know, and those that we have have been given to us against our will, or by our founders or by their lordships the bishops, whom we cannot refuse in order not to be on bad terms with them, and perhaps the one in Brial is the last that we will ever accept, because the further along we go, the more we fmd ourselves embarrassed by such matters. l In the same spirit, the early assemblies of the Community insisted that parishes formed an exception to its usual works. The assembly of 1724 states what other Vincentian documents often said: Parishes should not ordinarily be accepted, but they may be accepted on the rare occasions when the superior general .. , [and] his consul­ tors judge it expedient in the Lord.2 229 Beginnings to 1830 The founding document of the Community's mission in the United States signed by Bishop Louis Dubourg, Fathers Domenico Sicardi and Felix De Andreis, spells out their attitude toward parishes in the new world, an attitude differing in some respects from that of the 1724 assembly.

    Bernard Martial & Philippine Duchesne

    BERNARD MARTIAL and PHILIPPINE DUCHESNE: TWO MISSIONARIES to LOUISIANA By Emory C. Webre 6542 Winnebago Street St. Louis, MO 63109 [email protected] Father Bertrand (Bernard) Martial, a priest from Bordeaux, France, served under bishops in four dioceses on two continents and was closely connected with important events in the dioceses of Bordeaux, Bardstown, New Orleans, St. Louis, and Detroit, as well activities in France and Italy. There are at least 83 documents in the files of the Propaganda Fide in Rome that are related to him in some way. I have located close to 250 letters from, to, or about him written during the years 1817 to 1835. He influenced the selection of one bishop in the United States and the rejection of another, and was himself considered for the Sees of New Orleans and Vincennes. He founded schools in Bordeaux, Baton Rouge and New Orleans. He escorted a future saint on her voyage to New Orleans and St. Louis. He was associated with three communities of religious women: the Religious of the Sacred Heart in St. Louis, Missouri, the Ursulines in New Orleans, Louisiana, and the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, Kentucky. 1. FATHER BERNARD MARTIAL Born in Bordeaux, France about 1770, Bertrand Martial studied for the priesthood, first, in France, and then in Italy when the French Revolution forced the closing of Catholic seminaries. A death notice in the Paris journal, l’Ami de la religion et du roi, gave some details of his life before he came to Louisiana. The death of Father Martial, in New Orleans, has stirred fitting remorse in Bordeaux, where he lived for some time, and where he rendered services that will not be forgotten.
