The Benedictines came to Indian Territory out of sheer zeal. The area was considered inhospitable and unfertile ground for the Catholic Church. Apparently, there was no great effort on the part of American bishops to have responsibility for this wild, frontier land. In these beginning years, when a Roman Catholic voice spoke publicly, or correspondence was written in the name of the Church, or a community of Catholics called together to form a church, it was almost always done by a Benedictine monk. Isidore Robot: The Founder About a month after six convicted murderers from Indian Territory had their necks snapped simultaneously on the Ft. Smith gallows, Father Isidore Robot and Brother Dominic Lambert rode from that forlorn Arkansas town toward the tiny settlement of Atoka, Indian Territory. It was October, 1875. Isidore Robot, the man who was the founder of the Catholic Church in what is now Oklahoma, was a 38-year-old Benedictine monk when he entered the Indian Territory. He was an intense, energetic priest dedicated to near contradictory ideals of austere monasticism and the missionary apostolate. Above all he was a man of formidable faith. During his 11-year tenure in Indian Territory, Isidore Robot founded Sacred Heart Abbey (including mission church and school) in Potawatomi Indian country; formed churches among the coalminers at Krebs, Lehigh and 10 McAlester, and completed the railroad line church at Atoka begun by Arkansas missionaries; and served as Prefect Apostolic (the chief officer of a missionary area) of Indian Territory for a decade. The bare recital of facts does not give justice to the memory of Isidore Robot.

SACRED HEART MISSION AND ABBEY Brother John Laracy, O.S.B. Page 234 The Sacred Heart Mission, now known as Sacred Heart Abbey, was founded in 1876, by Father or Abbot Isidore Robot, of the Order of St. Benedict. Father Robot was a native of France, born in Burgundy, July 17, 1837. His parents were well to do farmers, who gave him the benefit of excellent educational advantages. He was an accomplished writer in the French language and was possessed of a fair knowledge of music, especially of the plain chants and other sacred music of the Catholic Church. He was ordained to the priesthood of the Catholic Church, April 17, 1862. He served for one year as vicar general of the little diocese of Monaco. During the Franco-Prussian War, in 1870, he served as a chaplain in the French Army. In 1872, Father Robot answered the call of the Bishop of New Orleans for missionaries. He landed in the United States, January 28, 1873, and was assigned to a field of labor among the French and Creole French people of Louisiana, where he rendered faithful and effective service for several years.

As they finish their classes, edging their way to graduation, they are faced with the milestone question, “What do I want to do with my life?” Teachers, parents and peers give them advice on what the next step should be. As offers and opportu- nities arise, so does the opportu- nity to serve God. But, how do they know if God is really calling them, and how do they know what God wants them to do? How can God mold them to be disciples of the Church? The Archdiocese of Oklahoma City has found a way to help stu- dents with these questions as well as others through Digital Discern- ment Groups. Taking advantage of the digital information age, both young men and women have an opportunity to gain encourage- ment and guidance through digital meetings.

  • Meet the Monks: Father Adrian Vorderlandwehr, O.S.B., Served As the Seventh Abbot of St
    Vol. 1, No. 3 MonksOK From Abbot Lawrence When the founders of our community entered Indian Territory in 1875, they could not have imagined what the future held in store for them. They had come into a vast territory to minister to peoples whose cultures and languages were completely different from those of their French homeland. To meet such a daunting challenge, they were animated by their fervent faith and their equally fervent desire to combine a strict monastic tradition with the missionary idealism of the 19th Century. As additional monks arrived, the pioneering Benedictines established a monastery, several schools, and pastoral ministry to a Catholic community that was widely dispersed throughout Indian and Oklahoma Territories. The monks travelled near and far by train, buggy, horse and even by foot to serve the People of God with Word and Sacrament. This is an important part of our heritage as a community. Throughout our history we have reached far beyond the “walls of the monastery” in order to serve the needs of the Church and of our brothers and sisters in Christ. And although our means of transportation have changed, we continue to cover much of the same territory as did those original French monks. In March and April we celebrated Today, three of our monks continue to serve as residential pastors in particular our annual spring Oblate meetings here parishes.

    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA A Church Apart: The Catholic Church in the Rural South, 1939-1990 A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the Department of History School of Arts & Sciences Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy By Seth R. Smith Washington, D.C. 2016 A Church Apart: The Catholic Church in the Rural South, 1939-1990 Seth R. Smith, Ph.D. Director: Leslie Woodcock Tentler, Ph.D. This dissertation examines Catholicism in the rural South to answer three questions. The first is how did priests and lay Catholics engage in a pluralistic American society before and after Vatican II while drastically outnumbered? The second is what did it mean to be part of the universal Catholic Church while isolated geographically, socially, and institutionally? Finally, how do we balance the impact of major national and international events on the Catholicism in the rural South with the importance of local context? This dissertation seeks to answer these questions by examining the history of seven parishes – four pastored by Glenmary Home Missioners and three pastored by non-Glenmarians – in the rural South between 1939 and 1990. Throughout much of the twentieth century, Southern Catholics were regarded with suspicion by their neighbors without the protections offered by numbers or their own confessional institutions. Catholics in the rural South dealt with this in two ways. The first was by emphasizing their Southerness. Apart from their religious beliefs, they were virtually indistinguishable from their fellow Southerners, and their views on politics, economics, and race hewed much closer to their non-Catholic neighbors than their co-religionists in the North.

    Sooner Catholic Serving the People of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City Volume 35, Number 16 * August 31, 2008 Saint Gregory’s Abbey Rejoices with Ordination of Father Copelin SHAWNEE — With fellow Benedictine monks and priests, as well as priests from throughout the archdiocese joined in prayer, Archbishop Beltran ordained Boniface Copelin, OSB, a Roman Catholic priest, on Aug. 21 in the historic Saint Gregory’s Abbey. The Eucharistic Celebration of Ordination took place on the Memorial of Pope Saint Pius X. In his homily, Archbishop Beltran paid tribute to the Church leaders who have planted the seeds of Catholicism and faith throughout the ages, including the early days before Oklahoma entered into state- hood. Brother Boniface was presented for ordination to the archbishop by Abbot Lawrence Stasyszen, OSB, abbot of Saint Gregory’s Abbey. “More than 130 years ago, Father Isidore Robot and Brother Dominic Lambert crossed the Arkansas River at Fort Smith and entered the Indian Territory,” Archbishop Beltran said, looking directly at Father Copelin, who was seated on the altar a few feet in front of the archbishop. “They were Benedictine monks from France who came here to be missionaries.” Archbishop Beltran said the Benedictine mission- aries came to this part of the world with faith, vision and purpose. They established churches and schools and over the years helped guide the people who lived here to know, love and serve Christ. “Brother Boniface, like Father Isidore and Brother Dominic before you and like all the other monks of Sacred Heart and Saint Gregory’s, deep within your soul you have heard a call.

Name: SAMUEL GRAYSON LEE JENNINGS Date of Degree: DECEMBER 2016 Title of Study: OKLAHOMA CATHOLICISM: THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF FRENCH MONASTIC FOUNDATIONS Major Field: HISTORY Abstract: Oklahoma Catholicism: the Contributions of French Monastic Foundations focuses on the transmission of French monastic culture to the United States. After suffering the closure of monasteries during the French Revolution and subsequent Napoleonic Era, the Benedictines enjoyed a renaissance during the reign of King Louis- Phillipe that extended through the twentieth century. One of the primary animating features of the resurgent Benedictines was an enthusiasm for establishing new monasteries around the world in cultures very different from their own. Of these new monasteries, two opened in what is now Oklahoma: Sacred Heart Abbey and Clear Creek Abbey. How did two French monasteries end up in Oklahoma while there were no other such monasteries in the United States? In both cases, Oklahoma attracted the missionary- monks with a unique combination of a hospitable culture, a disenfranchised minority population to minister to, cheap land, and anonymity from local ecclesial authority.
