| As a child, Ignatius Wilkens was too poor to
buy a song book — so he learned the words of the hymns by heart. His talent
for music was fostered by friar-teachers at St. Francis Parochial School in
Cincinnati. Ignatius credited God and those teachers for his abilities as an
organist and composer, nurtured as a young friar during assignments as an
editor, teacher and assistant pastor in Louisville, Detroit and Cincinnati.
Among his more than 100 compositions were four complete Masses, 12 Ave
Marias and a number of Eucharistic hymns. His festive Jubilate Deo was
performed by choirs throughout the country. Wilkens’ work was described by a
reviewer as among “the most effective Catholic hymns of praise ever written
by an American composer.” |

THE FRANCISCANS TAKE CHARGE (SKETCH BY REV.
ILDEPHONSE GAST)
The Franciscans took over the parish of St. Francis de Sales on January 1,
1892, and sent Rev. Ignatius Wilkens, O, F. M., who became the first
superior and pastor. With him came Father Peter A. and Brother Arnold. The
congregation numbered about forty families and two rooms below the church
were used for a school. Father Wilkens found the treasury absolutely empty,
there not being money enough to buy fuel, or defray other ordinary expenses.
The Fathers suffered all sorts of privations on this account. Many bills had
been left unpaid, and notes amounting to several thousands of dollars were
due. For about twelve years the Franciscans took no salary, because the
financial condition made it impossible.
When the Franciscans took charge, the parish consisted of about forty
families, instead of 200 as had been supposed to belong to it. Father
Ignatius remained until the summer of 1893.
The so-called "Beneplacitum Apostolicum" for the St. Francis friary and
school adjoining, was obtained May 14, 1893, and the Bishop promised for
himself and successors that in case of future divisions of the parish 300
families should remain with St. Francis de Sales parish. The document is
dated January 5, 1894.
