The time in between has been anything but uneventful. Abbey Journal I first arrived at St. Joseph’s at the beginning of Advent in 2019. It was a bit Happenings at the Abbey unnerving trying to navigate the needs of the parish and the different liturgies of the Christmas season as I settled into my new surroundings. I made it through the Christmas season without causing too much turmoil in the parish or in the elemen- 7 tary school and was finally starting to get my bearings and settle in for the Lenten Development season when the whole world seemed to get turned upside down. Bishop Anthony Taylor came to St. Joseph’s one Saturday in mid-March for the The Hills are Alive confirmation of twelve of the youth of our parish; it was as joyous a day as it could have been. We had a beautiful Mass and reception that followed and everyone was 10 in the Spirit.

  • Sacred Heart Church 1882 - 1982 a Short History
    The Sacred Heart Church 1882 - 1982 A Short History SACRED HEART CHURCH PENICUIK 1882 - 1982 A Short History Acknowledgement: To Michael McGowan who wrote and researched this short history of the Sacred Heart Church, we are deeply indebted. We appreciate all the effort, time and travel with which he involved himself, in its compilation. We are sorry he did not live to see his efforts in print. He will be remembered by all who read this booklet. May he rest in peace. M.J. THE PARISH: In the "New Statistical Account of Scotland (1839-41)" the Rev. Scott Moncrieff mentions that from the 12th century to the Reformation the Parish of Penicuik continued as an independent parsonage; the grant of the living was in the hands of the Lord of the Manor. The Manor was held by a family who assumed their surname from it and were patrons of the Church. Some of the pre-reformation clergymen were: 1296 - Walter Edgar 1319 - Ricardus de Suthorpe 1448 - Alex. Vans 1472 - John Quitela 1550 - Archibald Robertson The last pre-reformation cleric was appointed in 1556 and was a relative of the patron. His name was William Penycuike. He continued in office for seven years after the Reformation and lived in Penicuik until the end of the 16th century. These clergymen were, of course Catholic, and probably were private chaplains to the Lord of the Manor. There is no record of any sort of church being situated in Penicuik itself until mention is made in the "Minutes of the Kirk Session of Penicuik" of a decree of the Commissioners for Plantation of Kirks, dated 30th January I618, annexing to the Kirk of Pennycooke the lands of Mount Lothian and St.

An expression of warm thanks is extended to the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City for such a lavish gift from God. More than 3,000 attended the consecration at the Governor’s Hall at the Statehouse Convention Center. Many priests, religious and lay people from Oklahoma arrived. Bishop Taylor’s parents, siblings, and a relative from Guam were also present. Parishioners from Sacred Heart Parish and St. Monica Parish were seated behind the Oklahoma priests. “You don’t know what you are getting,” Wilma Moisant from Sacred Heart said. “I have known Father Taylor since he was in the seminary back in the ’80s.” Moisant told of a terrible time in her life when she discovered her son dead in his home. “I called Father Taylor,” Moisant said. “He came right over and stayed with the family.” St. Monica parishioners, Marie and Scott Connolly, told of Bishop Taylor’s love of hiking and being outdoors. “Bishop Taylor is a man of prayer and faithful to the gospels,” Marie Connolly said. “When he asks someone to do a task, he lets them do it,” Scott Connolly added.

    THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA. GRADUATE COLLEGE THE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN OKLAHOMA, 1835-1941 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE FACULTY in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY BY SAMUEL LEE BOTKIN Norman, Oklahoma 1957 THE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN OKLAHOMA, 1835-1941 APPROVED BY -r> ACKNOWLEDGMENTS When my wife, Patricia, and I recall the several years of work which have gone into my attempt to attain the degree of Doctor of Philo­ sophy, those persons who helped me overcome occasional, severe obstacles stand out in our memory. The Rev, Alvin Scollay Hock, retired Episcopal minister and former historiographer of the Diocese of Oklahoma, was probably the most helpful of all, Mr, Hock (l should include Mrs, Hock, too) not only gave me constant encouragement; he turned over to me the fruit of some twenty years of collecting of historical material for the Diocese of Oklahoma, Without Mr, Hock*s valuable collection, the producing of a history of the Missionary District of Oklahoma might have been impos­ sible. Two other persons, now long deceased, also deserve my gratitude for their foresight and labors in accumulating historical material for Oklahoma, They are the Rev. Franklin C, Smith, who served in Oklahoma from 1895 to 1901 and who compiled historical material of the earliest Episcopal activity in Indian Territory; and Miss Sarah Olden, former Stillwater resident who painstakingly reproduced hundreds of pages of material which had been published in national magazines on the Mission­ ary District of Oklahoma, 111 Performing the thankless task of requiring me to "do the job right" when I might have been tempted to be satisfied with less than my best effort was Dr, Edwin C.
