My dad and my mother, it's just part of them. 'When I walk in the church, I just feel so close to my mother.

She also remembers the beauty of moonlight reflecting off snow and through the windows during midnight mass on Christmas Eve.įor Mathews, one of two surviving sisters from a family of eight children, the church windows are a link with her past. Mathews remembers sitting in the unfinished church one Easter and watching a bird fly in and lay an egg. For many years the church had a rough plank floor laid over joists, Mazaika said, but a local undertaker finally took up a collection for a new floor. While repairing the roof, he fell off and broke his leg, Mathews said. When money ran out, Waesberghe did the work himself, laying brick and plastering walls. He cabled my father from Germany and asked him to (pay for) one of the big windows.' The building was more than four times as big as the wood-frame building the church had been using, and funds were sometimes short, Mathews remembers. In 1910, Waesberghe, who slept on the floor with a saddle for his pillow, initiated the construction of the red-brick church with its 20 stained-glass windows, and filled it with imported Italian statuary.

If you went to his house, it was crowded with people. He wasn't physically clean, but he was spiritually clean. 'He'd go all over Osage County, in the hot weather or through snowdrifts.

'Everybody knew he was a little unusual,' said Lillian Mathews, an Osage who is one of the few church members who remembers Waesberghe. He wrote church records on the walls of the baptistry, and used a cattle salt block simultaneously as a doorstop and to scrape bits off for use during infant baptisms, Mazaika said. Waesberghe, who was born into a wealthy family in Holland, drove a car without doors and a collection of spare tires tied on the roof. An Archdioscese publication describes him as 'eccentric and unkempt, giving himself with wild abandon.' Edward Van Waesberghe, a Benedictine who was at the Osage parish from 1898 to 1925, became legendary among Oklahoma priests. The third priest to serve the parish, Rev. Mazaika and church members had more than 60 years of dust and rotting wooden frames removed from the 20 stained-glass windows in the church, just in time to celebrate the parish centennial.

A series of letters was fired back and forth from Washington, but the government was unrelenting, Mazaika said. Catholic priests, including Schoenmakers, were prevented from living on the reservation.

When the federal government removed the Osage to reservations in Indian Territory (later Oklahoma) in 1872, they assigned pacifist Quakers to serve as Indian agents. Schoenmakers established a mission in Kansas in 1845, setting up schools and a parish church. The Vatican gave its permission, Mazaika said, because of the special relationship between the Osage and Catholic missionaries.
