Saint John Bosco Mission

10/26/2014

Today's Pilgrim Train ventured about ninety minutes southwest of the Provo/Orem area to Millard County. Time had come to visit a mission that shares their priest with Saint Bridget Mission in Milford and Holy Family Mission in Filmore. I felt very blessed to attend Father Hernando Diaz' celebration of the 10am mass at Saint John Bosco Mission ∙ 96 South Center Street ∙ Delta, UT 84624 ∙ Phone: (435) 864-3710 ∙ Website: http://www.parishesonline.com/scripts/hostedsites/Org.asp?ID=22145.

Saint John Bosco Mission was easy to locate with the white cross that greets visitors and those passing by. The building is light taupe with two wooden double doors at the entrance. Just after I took the outside photo a charming couple arrived and noticed that I was a visitor. Howard and Eileen Gemerline welcomed me to Delta, their church community and were very hospitable. Just after walking inside, Howard gave me a little history of the

Today's Pilgrim Train took me to an area where God has painted the rocks and mountains in amazing colors. Torrey is a town located on State Route 24 in Wayne County and just 8 miles from Capitol Reef National Park. Located just off the State Route is a charming mission that fits perfectly into the surroundings. Saint Anthony of the Desert Mission ∙ 585 North 500 West Sand Creek Road ∙ Torrey, UT 84775 ∙ Phone: (435) 896-5539. This mission is part of Saint Elizabeth's Catholic Church in Central Valley. The weekend mass is 5:00pm on Saturday with Reconciliation fifteen minutes before mass. When the clocks reverts to standard time on the first Sunday in November the mass on Saturday changes to 3:00pm until clocks spring forward.

There is a small sign on State Route 24 that directs prospective and visiting parishioners to Saint Anthony of the Desert Mission and another one on Sand Creek Road. The mission is off to the right and there is ample parking. Directly pass the double wooden gates

Used many years ago as an exclamation of triumph, Eureka means 'I have found it!' Today I found Eureka, not in California where I've been before, but in Utah's Juab County. Originally know as Ruby Hollow, it encompasses 1.5 square miles. Today's pilgrim train stopped at a mission that is served by San Andres Catholic Church in Payson. Father Jose Rausseo celebrates mass the first Sunday of each month at two-thirty in the afternoon and there is a S.C.A.P./Sunday Celebrations in the Absence of a Priest the rest of the Sundays at Saint Patrick Catholic Church ∙ 121 Church Street ∙ Eureka, UT 84628 ∙ Phone: 801 - 465 - 4782

There is an abundance of charm to be found in Eureka and at the mission. Located in a residential neighborhood, the white cross on top of the mission greets visitors as well as those driving by. Years ago and before it became a mission, it was a church with a beautiful rectory, school and convent. Today
