Terrace Bay Catholic Women's League meeting By Marylyn Turcotte The regular monthly meeting of the C.W.L. was held on Monday, September 9 in the Church Hall. . The meeting was opened with a prayer and a scripture reading. Kathleen reported on the school board meeting that she and others had attended this past June. The group had attended the meeting to learn more about the phasing out of the posi- tion of Religious Educa- tion Consultant. Kathleen also encouraged continued prayer for full funding of Catholic Schools. Linda presented continued on page 7 St. Jerome's Mission church By Anne Todesco I am back from my holidays and was surprised to learn of the many. hap- penings that had occured while I was absent. One in- cident that has shocked and saddened me was the destruction by fire of the little St. Jerome's Mission Church on Pays Plat Indian Reserve. The late Chief Louis Mushqush of the reserve at Pays Plat gave me much of the history of the mission church. It was built in 1863 under the direction of Rev. Father Du Ranquet, a Jesuit French Missionary. It was constructed of hewn timbers or logs and remain- ed as such til 1910 when it was constructed with clap board siding. and painted white. The church was one of several built along the north shore from the same architectural plans. They were built at Hurkett, Nipigon,. Lake Nipigon, Rossport, Pays Plat, Schreiber, Jackfish, Herob Bay, Mobert, Wawa and Michipocoton. An indian by the name of Neganeijig had heard the beautiful chimes of ringing church bells at Prince Ar- thur's Landing and thought the Pays Plat church should have a bell; so in 1896 he sold a silver mine on hill 19 to some mining men and MARTHA gifted CARD and © PALM READER will be in Terrace Bay on October 7 & 8 for appointment call 825-3286 NIPIGON RESORT Me . 35 miles west of Schreiber on Lake Superior H.K.

Neganei- jig died at Pays Plat in 1921 and was buried there. Among the priests serv- ing the missions along the north shore were Fathers Speckt, LaMarsh, Dugin, Belanger, Coutier, Desoutal, Howitt, O'Flat- tery, Rolland, Brown, and Maurice. In the early 1900's Father Speckt erected a large white cross near the mouth of the river as a marker to guide canoemen and sailboats in- to harbour. Many of the French and_ Scottish voyageurs wintered at the mission, some of them marrying into the tribé and settled there working as trappers and guides. There were MacKenziea, Augers, Bouchards, Fishers, Bomus, and others. A log school was con- structed at the turn of the century and some of the teachers were John Deshon, Alex McKay, and Alice Barker. A new school was built in 1917 by the Indian Affairs Depart- ment. Twenty eight pupils were enrolled. The first baptism record- ed at the church took place on June 20, 1863 of Jean Baptiste. He was the son of Peter Moropot and Isabelle Ojikwe. The godparents were Henry and Louise Delaronde, with Father Du Ranquet officiating. The church bell was blessed by Msgr. R.A. O'Connor, bishop of Peter- borough in 1899. The church had been renovated a few years ago . with new siding, windows, heating, carpets, etc. Not far from the church site up the river can be found stone pits and tren- ches built in the days when the Ojibwy and Iroquois fought each other. On a small island close to the mission a human. skull wrapped in birch bark was found by natives. Pathologists in Toronto believed that the skull was at least 250 years old.
