GALENA, Ill. -- On Sunday, Nov. 2, the public is invited to "Mazzuchelli in Words and Music" program at 3 p.m. at St. Michael Church here.

The program will follow the life of Venerable Fr. Samuel Mazzuchelli, demonstrating the resolve and ambition of the missionary priest who served the early settlers, traders, miners, and Native Americans in the tri-state area in the mid-1800s.

Father Mazzuchelli built St. Michael Church, the first Catholic church in Galena, begun in 1835 and completed in 1842, at the cost of $14,000, a great sum for those days. He also aided Galena in building a courthouse and market house.

On July 6, 1993, Father Mazzuchelli was declared "Venerable" by Pope John Paul II. This is the first step to canonization or official church recognition of his sanctity.
