Church of the Resurrection,
Saint Martin of Tours,
Holy Trinity Catholic Parish
  • 1904--“The large parish over which Father DESMOND has presided for the past seven years has been divided and the portion east of the river with Cavour as residence, has been cut off, and is by Bishop O’GORMON’s appointment under the jurisdiction of Rev. Father O’FARRELL.  The new parish consists of Cavour, Iroquois, St. Williams and Bancroft, while Father DESMOND will have the city, with an outer mission at Broadland.  It is wonderful what faithfulness to duty will work in localities as well as in individuals.  Father DESMOND has had charge of seven districts for the past seven years and it stands to his credit that the outer districts have been attended to as assidously [assiduously/diligently] as Huron.  The Rev. gentleman is as well known in Cavour, St. Williams, Broadland, Wolsey, Wessington and Bonilla, and his personality prized as much in these districts as in this city, where he is so highly esteemed both as a citizen and a clergyman.  The people of the new parish put up a $3000 pastoral house, one of the finest priests’ residence in the Diocese of Sioux Falls.  Contractor ISSENHUTH of this city erected the building.  The entire building is heated by hot water, put in by Mr. WAIBEL of this city.  What is most gratifying of all is that the house is practically out of debt, thanks to the generosity of the good parishioners.”
