Father James Brown, the first pastor. named the new parish St-. James'. ln the fall of 1892, Father Brown was transferred to Leadville. and Father -I. J. Gibbons came from Ouray to St. Francis de Sales. lle began work about November 10, and at once started the erection of a Church on the corner of Alameda and Lincoln.

The building' was begun in July and the chapel was dedicated on November 1, 1903. The parish school was opened in September, 1906. Little enthusiasm was shown and only thirty pupils attended the first year. The following year, the two Sisters of St. Joseph, who were in charge, had over a hundred children and the teaching staff had to be increased.
