This picture, I'm sure, has been catologed incorrectly. It's description probably belongs on bmlm#12936 and reads: FR BUECHEL AND OTHER PRIESTS NEAR THE LITTLE WHITE RIVER, JULY 31, 1922. Can use this for 12934 as it looks like the same trip. "Do I detect Bro Bede?"...

FR. EUGENE BUECHEL. PICTURE TAKEN AFTER MASS ON CHRISTMAS - 1937. WHITE HORSE CREEK - FIVE MILES FROM PARMELEE. I'm noticing that Buechel is never in a sports or classroom situation - must have been strictly a parish priest? Or administrator?

Holy Rosary Mission, at Pine Ridge, S.D., was the site of the July 16-20, 1920, annual Congress of the Catholic Sioux of South Dakota. Hundreds gathered for official ceremonies under a bower of pine branches constructed near the church. Delegates from tribes from other parts of the country as well as missionaries and clerical guests also participated. Msgr. William Ketcham, Director of the Bureau of Catholic Indian Missions, Washington, D.C., delivered the sermon at the Sunday High Mass. “The general object of the annual congress is the renewal of Catholic spirit,” wrote Fr. C.M. Weisenhorn, S.J. Masses were celebrated each morning in church and under the pine bower. Fr. Eugene Buechel, S.J., gave the sermon, “Christ the Center of Christianity,” in the Lakota language at Mass on the first day. After morning Masses, catechists offered instruction and priests heard confessions each day. General meetings were held in the afternoons and evenings, under the direction of Congress officers: Charles Jones, president; John Apple, vice president; Joseph Horn Cloud, secretary; and Noah Bad Wound, treasurer. During the meetings, men and women discussed religious and social welfare issues, including education, schools and the family. Participants sat in a circle on the ground, men on one side, women on the other side. Meetings continued well into the night and resulted in the adoption of resolutions to the U.S. Congress on key issues.

Fr. Buechel is back aways on our left. Fr. Grothe is to Fr. Buechel's left. The cathecists are down front, including a Trudell (Santee? Levi's son?) and Black Elk.
The only two clergymen that I can identify, though, are Bishop John J. Lawler -- in the right/center of the picture -- and Father Buechel, SJ, a few steps further to the right. -- Fr. Stan Maudlin, OSB

FR BUECHEL AND THE SODALITY OF THE BLESS VIRGIN, 1921, PROBABLY HRM? (Mike Marshall says it's St Francis) On this one I finally remembered the girls name, to Buechel's right. That is Mary Jackson (he did a portrait picture of her (scanned you a copy). So I am guessing this is SFM and not HRM.

This photograph of Fr. Eugene Buechel, S.J., saying Mass at St. Patrick’s Church, Spring Creek, S.D., appeared in The Indian Sentinel, May 1953. Thirty years earlier, The Sentinel printed Fr. Buechel’s story about the first services at St. Patrick’s on Nov. 26, 1922, when “the desire of many years was realized.” Fr. Buechel presided at the services that ended with a favorite hymn, “Jesus Cante Kolawaye,” “The Heart of Jesus is My Friend.” A “real Indian dinner” followed, with speeches by Swift the crier, Shooting Cat, and Flying Walking. Gratitude was expressed for the benefactors who built and furnished the church: the women of the Order of Martha, Jersey City, New Jersey. The people “all felt happy to think that this beautiful little church was also in a measure the fruit of their work begun years ago. And no doubt they were right,” Fr. Buechel wrote. “God had rewarded their fidelity and sacrifices.”
