  • Journey of Faith: the Congregation of the Mission in the U.S.A
    Journey of Faith: The Congregation of the Mission in the U.S.A. Coming to America: Origins Saint Vincent had first sent his priests to Rome as a way of having direct communicaons with the Holy See (1631). By 1659, the Vincenans were able to find a permanent residence in the Monte Citorio district of Rome. This was to be the starng point of the American Vincenan mission. In 1815, Louis William Valenne Dubourg, a Sulpician priest who had been named apostolic administrator of Louisiana (a sprawling area which had come under American rule in 1803), went to Rome to recruit priests. On his arrival in Rome, he found out that Louisiana was to be made into a diocese and that he was to be its first bishop. He resolved, however, not to accept the appointment, unless he could obtain sufficient priests. Bishop Dubourg Coming to America: Origins One evening, on returning to Monte Citorio, Dubourg heard a young Vincenan priest giving a spiritual conference to a group of clerics. So deeply impressed was the bishop-elect that he resolved to have this priest, and perhaps more of his Community, for his sparsely seled diocese. The young priest's name was Felix De Andreis. De Andreis had long wanted to serve on the foreign Felix De Andreis, C.M. missions, especially China. Dubourg spoke to the young priest and asked him to accompany him to the United States, primarily to establish a seminary in Louisiana. Two days later Dubourg had an audience with the Pope and received final approval for De Andreis and five or more other Vincenans to go to Louisiana.

    In 1818, a small group of Catholic clerics established a religious community in southeastern Missouri and opened a school, grounded in its European Vincentian roots but influenced by the isolation of its rural location. St. Mary’s of the Barrens became the first American institution of higher learning west of the Mississippi River and only the fourth Catholic seminary in the United States. Over the years, St. Mary’s emerged as a significant institution whose early leaders played an important role in the development of the Catholic Church on the American frontier. The school’s subsequent history reflected the changing status of the growing American Catholic community. In this history of “the Barrens,” Rick Janet demonstrates how its story reflects the broader sweep of the American Catholic experience. “St. Mary’s of the Barrens in Perryville, Missouri, is one of the oldest and most venerable Catholic institutions in the United States. With great insight, Rick Janet presents St. Mary’s as an institutional case study to illustrate the major themes of the history of American Catholicism, reflecting on its journey from a frontier mission church, to a rapidly growing immigrant church, to a church of wealth, confidence, surety, and strength, to a church still struggling with the onslaughts of post-modernity and the decline in religious belief and observance. Janet gives the reader the granularity of this Catholic experience in the heartland of the Midwest, and adroitly poses questions on the future of this institution, and indeed the future of American Catholicism itself.” — Rev. Edward R. Udovic, CM, PhD, DePaul University “Rick Janet’s history of the Vincentian community and seminary of St.

  • From France to America: Refocusing the Vincentian Mission
    From France to America: Refocusing the Vincentian Mission Part 1: Congregation of the Mission adapted from Vincentian Pioneers of the Mississippi Valley (1818-1900) by Dennis P. McCann, Vincentian Heritage Journal Backdrop • The dislocations triggered by the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars form the background for the American phase of the Vincentian enterprise— that is, for the establishment of the Congregation of the Mission and the Daughters and Sisters of Charity in the United States. Flight of the clergy • In Europe, the intermittent warfare against orthodox Christianity that ended only with Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo led directly to the enrichment of the fledgling American Catholic church. • Emigré French clergy, notably the Sulpicians, fled to America. Having established Saint Mary's Seminary in Baltimore in 1791, the Sulpicians concentrated much of their activity in the formerly French territories to the west of the Allegheny mountains. By http://maps.bpl.org North America, 1790 via Wikimedia Commons Chance meeting that started it all • It was a Sulpician, Father Louis William Dubourg, who discovered Father Felix de Andreis in Rome and persuaded him to found the Congregation of the Mission in America. De Andreis himself had fled to Monte Citorio in Rome as a result of Napoleon's incursions into de Andreis's native Piedmont. • Their chance meeting is the prelude to the story of the Vincentians in the U.S. • (Father Dubourg was also instrumental in Elizabeth Bayley Seton’s decision to establish the Sisters of Charity in the United States.) Dubourg Contrasts between environments • The Vincentian priests’ history of institution-building— most notably in the organization of the Catholic diocese of Saint Louis and the major seminary at Saint Mary of the Barrens in Perryville, Missouri— shows a direct continuity with the pattern of Saint Vincent de Paul's activities in early modern France.

Introduction Besides its better-known seminaries begun in Missouri, the Vincentian community staffed three consecutive seminaries in Louisi- ana. Virtually nothing physical remains to be seen from those institu- tions. In addition, apart from letters in various archives or reports in early publications, few documents survive from these pioneer semi- naries. Further, almost no living memory exists of them, save for the third incarnation of the Louisiana seminary in New Orleans. Nevertheless, these institutions played important if somewhat limited roles in the ecclesiastical life of their times. Their stories show the Vincentian community at work in one of its main apostolates: "to help seminarians and priests to grow in knowledge and virtues, so that they can be effective in their ministry."' They succeeded after a fashion, but ultimately ceased because of conditions outside the con- trol of the community: a disastrous fire, civil war, and poor diocesan finances.

  • The Early History of O'fallon and the Founding of Assumption Parish
    THE EARLY HISTORY OF O'FALLON AND THE FOUNDING OF ASSUMPTION PARISH There is evidence of Catholics living in St. Charles and the surrounding area back in 1776. The first missionary to take care of the people was Father Bernard de Limpach, a Capuchin monk. He functioned in this capacity from 1776 until 1789. Somewhat later Father Felix de Andreis, C.M. commissioned Father John S. Acquaroni, C.M. to take charge of St. Charles, Dardenne and Portage Des Sioux. In 1823, the Jesuit Fathers of Florissant were delegated to take care of the entire northwest part of the diocese of St. Louis between the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers. The constant stream of immigrants, mainly of German farmers and artisans, necessitated the change of boundary lines and the sending of German priests to care for the Catholic flock. It all began around the year 1855 when Arnold Krekel, Federal Judge for Western Missouri, issued a right of way through a tract of land, owned by himself, for the building of a railroad. This area was to be known as the Krekel Addition and the railroad was the North Missouri Railroad, later known as the St. Louis, Kansas City and Northern, still later as the Wabash Railroad and today known as the Norfolk & Southern. A railroad station was established and named after Colonel John O'Fallon. Colonel John O'Fallon was the son of Dr. James O'Fallon, he was a spirited soldier fighting in a campaign against the Indians and carrying messages of public consequence. He worked with General Harrison as a military leader and confidante; he was an Indian agent and trader, a member of the first State Legislature of Missouri, a successful businessman and a contributor to educational projects.
