VAR Au n4 .ft;r9 BAPTISMAL RECORDS-ST. MARY CHURCH, HAMILTION, OHIO Illuminates The Present It could be said that without Stephen Badin there would have been little foundation for American Catholicism in the states of Ken- tucky, Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, and Illinois. Almost single -handed1y, he labored for nearly forty years in the vast expanses of these states, establishing churches and schools and bringing Civiliza- tion to the isolated pioneer families in the wilderness. Born in France, Badin came to the U. S. in 1793 because of the French Revolution. A year later he was ordained, the first priest to en- ter the service of God in the United States. The same year he was sent by Bishop John Carroll to minister to Catholics in Kentucky's raw frontier settlements. With never more than a half-dozen priests under his authority, he worked continuously until 1819, when he was sent back to Europe to obtain funds for American bishops and to recruit priests for the understaffed western dioceses. In 1825 he returned to his adopted land and continued missionary activity among the In- dians of Michigan and Indiana right up to his death at the age of 85. Badin was often involved in controversy be- cause he would not give an inch in matters of church law or morals, and because he always expected others to work as hard as he did. But today any faults he may have had are completely overshadowed by the wonderful work he did, and the marvelous legacy he be- queathed to us. To his memory, in pursuit of his zeal, we dedicate our school.
