Interesting in that the only priest buried in the cemetery attached to the st Michael church served from
1927 -1933:
Father John E. Kalas replaced Father Raska, June 17, 1927. He and the people began plans for a new
church. The architect was S.N. Nelson, of Houston, and the builder was A. Anders, of the parish. The
cornerstone was put in place and blessed on November 7, 1927.
In these days of high prices, it might be interesting to note that the new church, together with three new
altars, pews and all artifacts cost only $25,000.00.
The new church being completed was blessed by Bishop C.E. Byrnes on June 25, 1928. Everyone
rejoiced that day, but mourned later when Father Kalas died suddenly in March of 1933. He is the only
priest buried in the St. Michael's Cemetery.
