FROM THE HEART OF FR KEVIN:
Happy Birthday’s This Week
The Flathead and the Black Robes: Conclusion.
February 1st: Ann Corkran
Though three expeditions from the Flatheads failed to
bring priests from St Louis, the fourth expedition struck
gold at Council Bluffs, Iowa. There the two Flathead
ambassadors stumbled on to one of America’s most
intrepid missionaries, the Belgian immigrant, Fr Peter De
Smet, S.J., who immediately pledged to join their return.
February 7th: Bill Hatfield
While a seminarian, De Smet (whose father once feared
would become a soldier of fortune) heeded the plea of a
Belgian missionary for “a handful of devoted men to save
an entire people and extend the reign of God” among
American natives (10). Coming to the US with several
schoolmates, he joined the Jesuits upon arrival, and was
ordained in 1827. After his accidental meeting with Peter
Gaucher and Young Ignace La Mouss at Council Bluffs in
1839, and learning of the Flatheads’ long painful quest
for Black Robes, he eagerly agreed to return with them to
the mountains.
In summer, 1840, the trio set out for the Bitter Root
Valley. As they neared home, Gaucher travelled ahead to
spread the good news that a priest was at last on the
way. A party of warriors rode out to find De Smet, then
camped with Young Ignace on the Green River. Following
this joyful greeting and another week’s travel, the Jesuit
entered the village and was formally welcomed to the
Flathead nation by Chief Big Face and his councillors.
Big Face told him, “I have always exhorted my people to
love the Great Spirit. … Our ardent desire to be instructed in what concerns our salvation has led us on several
occasions to send a deputation of our people to the
Great Black Robe of St Louis to ask him to send a priest.
… Speak Black Robe! We will follow the words of your
mouth” (11). Within weeks, De Smet, powerfully
impressed, himself hit the perilous trail to St Louis to
obtain permission and clergy for a permanent mission.

ST. PAUL CATHOLIC CHURCH
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
FOREST AND 6TH STREET
EUFAULA, Oklahoma 74432
The Oil of the Sick, usually labeled OI (for Oleum
Infirmarum), is often reserved with chrism and the oil of
catechumens in an ambry. An ambry is a cabinet, often
beautifully ornamented and kept near the baptistery in
the church. Olive oil, with no fragrance added, is blessed
at the Chrism Mass in Holy Week by the bishop,
although there is now a provision for a priest to bless oil
if none is available. This restores to our Latin Rite
practice a tradition never lost in the Eastern tradition, in
which priests consecrate the oil of the sick, even at the
sick person’s home. Any vegetable oil may be used now,
since olive oil is difficult to obtain in some places. Many
priests keep a small supply of oil close at hand in a small
metal tube called a “stock.”

In the former rite, every sense of the body was
anointed, accompanied by a prayer for forgiveness of
sin. So, the eyes, ears, nostrils, mouth, hands, and feet
were all touched. Today, this is simplified to an
anointing of the forehead and the hands, but generally
today the oil is used more lavishly, and the symbolism of
touch so central to the rite is enhanced. Often, a priest
will invite everyone present to join in the “laying on of
hands.” Sick persons are often pushed aside or feared in
our culture, and to be reverently touched in love can be
a profound experience of God’s healing, forgiving,
accepting presence through the ministry of the Church.
