Pilgrim Springs
Mission Grateful
To Nome for Aid
Our Lady of Lourdes Mission
Pilgrim Springs, Alaska
April 12, 1939
Mr. George Maynard
Editor The Nome Nugget,
Nome, Alaska
Dear Mr. Maynard:
The last mail, brought me a
letter from Mrs. Walsh, chairman
of the recent card party conduct
ed for the benefit of this Mission.
Mrs. Walsh graphically wrote
and described the happy evening
enjoyed at the party. Would that
I knew all personally who at
tended this enterainment, I
would surely write and thank
them one and all for their co
operation, for it was cooperation
that crowned the evening with
success and brought a handsome
donation to the little mission at
Pilgrim Springs.
Here, permt me to do, what I
would like to do at the entertain
ment itself —namely thank all
i who were present. Many, I am
sure were at the party whom I
have never met personally. Each
and all of these, I wish to thank
for their aid and cooperation.
The Mission at present has 80
children, more than it can ac
comodate with comfort, but this
coming summer, plans have been
made to extend the school and
the children’s quarters, so that
these 80 may have more comfort
and attention.
Lumber is scarce at the Mis
sion, in fact some of the build
ings are actually erected out of
old timber begged from the sur
rounding mining camps and lined
with the sides and ends of pack
ing boxes. Visitors who pay a vis
it to the mission, would never
know that the kitchen is in real
ity an old former barn, while the
children’s dining room was once
an abandoned stable.
Five miles from Pilgrim
Springs is the 1'dttle village of
Mary's Mountain, often called Ar
vinak. The Fathers of the M s
, sion built a very comfortable
i church at this mission for the
people, but wto years ago, all
the natives moved to a new site
and the church has remained
idle.
Last year, Father Cunningh: m
with the aid of Brother Wilhe'm
and the larger boys, carefully
tore down this church and brot
the materials to Pilgrim Springs.
This summer these same mater
j iatl will be used to enlarge the
i present school and aUso to ex
. tend the living quarters of the
children.I might add here, that
lumber when purchased in Seat
tle, costs, laid down at the
Springs, about $100 a 1001) feet.
Yet in spite of our cramped
quarters, we manage to find
room for the children of those
parents who are unable to look
after their offspring, and we wi 1
continue to do so, as we are able
and our friends and benefactors
help us in the work.
The latest arrivals at the mis
[
sion were the two infant child
ren of Albert Martin. We all
! know the pitiable circumstances
! of th:s fam I y. No one but he who
had a heart of stone could refuse
I such a plea and deny a home to
j such lovely innocent children.
, Miss Shepp: d. the Government
nurse at Nome related the cir
cumstances to Father Cunning
j ham, Superior of the Mission,
; who soon manag:d to bring the
i children to the Springs, where
| they will receive all the care and
: attention of their own parents.
The loyal and generous people
of Nome, who give this annual
card party for the benefit of the
M ssion, are themselves doing an
Apostolic work, and help to be
stow on the children of this dis
trict, a worthy home from which
they may go forth later, to face
the probems of life.
In conclusion, permit me, and
all the members of the Faculty
of Pilgrim Springs Mission, to
thank the people of Nome for
their assistance and generosity.
Respsctful y yours,
Rev. E. J. Cunningham,
Supt. of Mission.
