Summary

Three weeks before St. Patrick's Day 1922 — announcement of the combined St. Patrick's Day and silver jubilee of St. Lawrence Church (Butte's principal Centerville-area Irish-Catholic parish, where the 1908 Murphy-Kelly wedding had taken place). The observance will combine the day with the church's 25th anniversary. Bishop John P. Carroll of Helena to celebrate pontifical high mass at 10:30 a.m.; Father S. J. Sullivan of Townsend to preach the sermon. Father F. X. Baten is the parish pastor. ARRANGEMENTS COMMITTEE: - Chairman — Judge J. J. Lynch - Secretary — Anthony Lavelle - **Treasurer — James J. Murphy** [=person_james_murphy_son_of_pat_and_ellen] - Members — Walter J. Sewell, Maurice J. McDonough, Thomas J. Sullivan, James M. Brown, John J. Caplis, T. J. McCarthy, Charles H. Gallagher, [W. K. or W. J.] Kennedy, John J. McNamara, Thomas J. Sullivan, James M. Brown [duplicate listing — printing artefact], Jerry John O'Leary, John Gribben, Charles Egan, John Sullivan - Ushers (morning services) — W. J. Sewell and T. J. McCarthy Evening dancing parties at the K. of C. hall, the Twentieth Century [Club], and the A.O.H. hall. KEY: "It was announced that the Hibernians would not hold a parade this year." This is the position as of Feb 24 1922 — but by the 1922-03-12 Anaconda Standard feature ("OLD-TIME CELEBRATION OF ST. PATRICK'S DAY TO BE STAGED IN BUTTE") and the 1922-03-17 day-of banner coverage, the parade WAS held. The plan changed between Feb 24 and mid-March 1922 — a useful data point on how late-stage the parade was added.

Open questions

  • The Feb 24 "no parade" announcement vs the March 12-17 "parade will be held" coverage — what changed in the intervening three weeks? Likely the Irish Free State's establishment (provisional government formed Jan 1922) created the political appetite for a celebration parade after all.
  • The St. Lawrence Church silver jubilee implies the parish was founded 1897 — confirms its relative youth in the Butte Irish-Catholic landscape.
