The Osage Nation of Oklahoma, stewards of the land that was St. Louis prior to the founding of the City, held an Osage Mass at St. Francis Xavier College Church (a Jesuit parish) on the campus of St. Louis University April 2. Fr. John Padberg, S.J. concelebrated with Fr. Todd Nance (Osage) and Fr. Christopher Daigle (pastor of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Pawhuska). Sister Glavin, Dr. Stock and Eighth Class Student Council members Katelyn Kirtley, Madeleine Schrick, Gunnar Himich and Barclay Dale attended the mass celebrating the connections the Osage have with the St. Louis region and with the Society of Jesus, the Sisters of Loretto, and the Religious Sisters of the Sacred Heart—all of whom had schools for the Osage.
