Father Emmeram Kausler port to Bishop Hennessy was favorable and includ- ed the provision that an entire county be placed in charge of the Capuchins. In the spirit of true mission prodigality, Bishop Hennessy gave them five! Marienthal was suggested as a residence for the Capuchin Fathers because it was centrally located and because there was a rectory there. It was a small, shaky, frame house, but the only “priest house” in the five-county mission district. Bishop Hennessy’s response to the Capuchin Provincial is dated July 19, 1905: “Very Rev. Dear Father: I received a letter from your good Father Emmeram saying that your Fathers are willing to locate in our diocese and to this purpose would like to have a hospice and canonical establish- ment. I called a meeting of the diocesan consultors today, and it was unanimously decided to grant your wishes, hence Marienthal was suggested as a resi- dence with the missions of Greeley, Wichita, Scott, Lane and Ness counties. I shall write the Propaganda (the Vatican’s mission office) for the necessary en- dorsement, but I hope you will arrange to take charge as I believe there will be no obstacle.” On the strength of this document, the Provincial accepted 7-31-14. the mission on August 8, 1905. He appointed Father Leo Egger, Father Bernardine Kuhlmann, and Brother Vitalis Schmeer to Marienthal. They arrived within two weeks of their appointment. It was evident from the beginning that the little frame house would not serve as a monastery, especially if more priests should come to take up work among the scattered parishes in western Kansas. The Capuchin Province of St. Augustine agreed to finance the building of a monastery. Father Emmeram, who was an architect, drew up the plans and supervised the building of the structure. The square two-story building, constructed of cement blocks, contained seven rooms, a parlor, refectory, kitchen and a cellar. It was 302 N.
