THOMAS MORE. We held a School Legacy Celebration (Sept. 27, 2015) and a final Open House (Oct. 24-25, 2015); we remembered the blessings from the past which helped make us who we are today. This was our first significant step to our goals of Building Our Future Together: a new parish hall and religious education center attached to the church building. Celebrating the Parish of St. Thomas More was recognizing only half of our story because our blessings also came from the Parish of St. Pius X when the two united April 9, 2000. So, as we included the theme of “Building Upon Our Legacy,” we invited some of the giants of the past who served at St. Pius X. They visited us and shared their memories at weekend Masses: Brother Michael Mandernach CSPX (July 25-26, 2015), Sr. Louise Rahe FSPA (August 15-16, 2015), and Father Bill Grevatch (Sept. 10-11, 2016). In 2017, we gathered to share stories – for St. Thomas More and for St. Pius X – and to consider the value of a written record. When speaking with the “veterans” of St. Pius X, I showed them the only written history we had: a one-page summary in the 1990 St. Pius X Pictorial Directory. What a wonderful goal it would be to accomplish this heritage goal while we have people who lived those days! Donna Omernik was in the group. She was a 3rd grade teacher at St. Pius X School in 1966-67 and a catechist for Religious Education (aka CCD) for many years, first in 2nd grade and then 3rd grade. In 2019, she received the Woman of the Year award as she concluded 38 years as a catechist! She was also noted for being a Lector (8AM Sunday Mass), sewing our Baptismal Garments, helping with PCCW activities such as Rummage Sales and Cookie Walks, AND I mentioned that she had been writing a History of St. Pius X Parish. Here it is! What a gift she has been! Researching, interviewing, drafting, and seeking edits and guidance. Many, many thanks to those who submitted stories and/or met with Donna! She received some help from a small group of people: her husband Jim, her daughter Christine Griese, Deacon Sage, Linda Schwartz, and me – of note, my “help” slowed her down as she waited patiently for input! This really is a project of love from a gifted soul who loves Mary, Mother of the Church, who loves St. Pius X and, most importantly, who loves Jesus Christ. May God reward Donna! As you read this parish history, personal memories, and biographies may God touch your heart. May you recall your own blessed memories – whether from St. Pius X or whatever parish or school you attended. Yours in Christ, Rev. Brian D. Konopa Prologue September 18, 2020 Writing the story of the history of St. Pius X Parish has been a journey for me as much as it was for the people who were on it. On the way I met those people who formed the beginning of the parish with their hard work under the leadership of Fr. Francis McCaffrey. I reacquainted myself with those members who supported each other on the journey to Holy Cross Seminary with Fr. Peter Butz. Under Fr. Bill Grevatch our parish grew into a family that sang together during the liturgies, ate together at many church dinners and potlucks, and played together. Finally, I saw and experienced with a mix of sadness and joyfulness how St. Pius X Parish joined prayerfully together with St. Thomas More Parish to become Mary, Mother of the Church with Fr. Joseph Rafacz. During the process of researching and writing the history, I spoke with many people who contributed stories and pictures to make this project what it is. I want to thank everyone for their generous contributions. I am also sorry that not everything that was said and pictures received could be used in the story. In gathering as much historical information as I could about St. Pius X Parish I read volumes of the bound copies of bulletins beginning with those of St. Thomas More – Fr. Mullen left wonderful notes with the bulletins – and those of St. Pius X; newspaper articles from both the Catholic paper – the Times Review – and the La Crosse Tribune; Pastoral Council minutes; items of interest from Ann Malin, who worked in the Diocesan Archives and passed on information about St. Pius X that she felt was noteworthy to the story; and details from all those people who answered all my questions when I needed it to complete a “picture” of an event in the story. Know also, that errors may be found in the telling of this story. I tried to be as accurate as possible. Sometimes I found conflicting information in my research, and, as with any story, everyone has their own point of view of their experience. I want to especially thank Fr. Brian Konopa for asking me to write that story and who felt that the story of St. Pius X needed to be written down and shared. I have written letters to my parents, my children, my friends and college class papers, but never anything like this project. It was a bit daunting. But with his encouragement and patient guidance, the story is told. But most of all, I want to thank Jim, my husband, for being at my side and supporting me through the time of researching and writing this history of St. Pius X. He made my journey of writing this story a lot easier by reading and commenting on what I wrote, helping me make the story come to life for those who had been there. -Donna Omernik St. Pius X: 40 Years of Grace The people of God, the Israelites, followed Moses. They wandered from place to place for forty years until they came to the place God had ready for them, “the land flowing with milk and honey.” Like those Israelites, who followed a promise, the people of St. Pius X journeyed for forty years. Unlike the Israelites, the people of St. Pius X returned to the place where they began their journey. The journey began at St. Thomas More Parish where a portion of the congregation was given a new charter called “St. Pius X Parish.” As a newly formed parish, St. Pius X gathered at Holy Cross Seminary before building their own church and school. Fifteen years later, the parish sold their new building and moved to Holy Cross Seminary again. Finally, through

  • Nineteenth-Century French Challenges to the Liberal Image of Russia

    Nineteenth-Century French Challenges to the Liberal Image of Russia

    Ezequiel Adamovsky Russia as a Space of Hope: Nineteenth-century French Challenges to the Liberal Image of Russia Introduction Beginning with Montesquieu’s De l’esprit des lois, a particular perception of Russia emerged in France. To the traditional nega- tive image of Russia as a space of brutality and backwardness, Montesquieu now added a new insight into her ‘sociological’ otherness. In De l’esprit des lois Russia was characterized as a space marked by an absence. The missing element in Russian society was the independent intermediate corps that in other parts of Europe were the guardians of freedom. Thus, Russia’s back- wardness was explained by the lack of the very element that made Western Europe’s superiority. A similar conceptual frame was to become predominant in the French liberal tradition’s perception of Russia. After the disillusion in the progressive role of enlight- ened despotism — one must remember here Voltaire and the myth of Peter the Great and Catherine II — the French liberals went back to ‘sociological’ explanations of Russia’s backward- ness. However, for later liberals such as Diderot, Volney, Mably, Levesque or Louis-Philippe de Ségur the missing element was not so much the intermediate corps as the ‘third estate’.1 In the turn of liberalism from noble to bourgeois, the third estate — and later the ‘middle class’ — was thought to be the ‘yeast of freedom’ and the origin of progress and civilization. In the nineteenth century this liberal-bourgeois dichotomy of barbarian Russia (lacking a middle class) vs civilized Western Europe (the home of the middle class) became hegemonic in the mental map of French thought.2 European History Quarterly Copyright © 2003 SAGE Publications, London, Thousand Oaks, CA and New Delhi, Vol.
