The Indian Advocate.
Devoted to the Interests of Indian Missions.
Vol. X.
JULY 1898.
No. 3.
May the 11th 1S77 Father Felix
DeGrasse 0. S. B. accompanied by a
sub-deacon and a lay brother arrived
in the Potawattomio country and put
up his tent where now Sacred Heart
Mission stands. May the 11th 189S
lit. Rev. Abbot Felix DeGrasse was sol-
emnly blessed second Abbot of Sacred
Heart Abbey.
In 1877 the subject of this sketch
said Mass in a log cabin 10x12 which
served at the same time as kitchen
study room refectory etc. etc. In
1S98 his blessing is performod in a
magnificent church surrounded by
many and spacious buildings.
If it was our sad duty to chronicle
the demise of the late Abbot Duperon
it is comforting for us to feel that wo
again have a leader omnibus cams quia
Abbot Felix DeGrasse O. S. B. .
omnibus paler beloved by all because
he is a father to all broad minded as
it becomes a genuine Benedictine
learned and pious a living rule in a
word a model to all of us.
He chose for his motto the words of
Wisdom fortiter ct suaviter and never
was motto more faithfully carried out.
Born in Lorraine a county which has
given so many heroes to the Church
and State our new ruler could pride
himself of his ancestry. He could
boast of the signal services one of his
grandsireshas rendered to our country.
But all Fr. Felix seeks is to gain souls
to Christ and to extend God's kingdom
in this our land of liberty. Witness
Count Do Grasso dofoatod Admiral Graves which defeat
forcod Cornwallis to capitulate America's liborty was tho ro
suit of this victory 1781. Now Count Do Grasso was tho jjraud
undo of lit. Roy. Abbot DoGrasso.
