The Dream…The Vision…The Goal
At the heart of the Old Testament the Biblical
authors mention a place which is most sacred to
the Lord and His people; it is the gold covering of
the Ark of the Covenant. Of this place God said to
Moses: “There I will meet with you.” (Ex 25:22)
Since the late 1840’s when a Catholic Church
was built at the Irish Settlement, the Catholics of
Potter County have gathered together to worship
and to encounter the One true God. In 1883 it
was decided to erect a church on the land donated
by the Keating family. The church was named St.
Eulalia in commemoration of a deceased member
of the Keating family and in honor of the Saint
whose name she bore.
In 1903 a new brown stone edifice was built and
an ornate high altar was donated by Mrs. John
Shay in memory of her parents, the late John and
Catherine Ryan. It is within these sacred walls and
before this holy altar that Catholics today come
together to worship God and to encounter His
Son, Jesus Christ, in the Breaking of the Bread.
In the Eucharist our Blessed Lord makes himself
substantially, truly, and really present. This
encounter and communion with the Risen Lord is
at the heart of our Catholic faith. It is the reason
why the first settlers built a Church here in Potter
County and it is for this very same reason why St.
Eulalia’s Parish is now embarking upon a major
restoration of our Church.
