Blessed Sacrament being removed to the sacristy during school
hours. Since the erection of the new church, the old church is
used for school purposes exclusively. When Terre [370] Coupee was
a mission, Brothers of the Holy Cross taught the school. At
present one lay-teacher has charge of seventy-three pupils.
The priest's house was built in 1888, by Father Zborowski and has
been improved by Father Buechler, by the installation of an
electric light plant, which gives light also to the church and
school. The church property has a debt of $8,000. The
congregation numbers about 538 souls, or 139 families.
