As a part of their unceasing efforts to expand their sphere...the fathers in the spring of 1852 opened a third mission in the Yakima Valley. It was located on the Ahtanum Creek and was dedicated to the Holy Cross under the style Saint-Croix d'Ahtanum. This mission later became St. Joseph's Mission and in order to avoid confusion will be referred to as such."NO KNOWN COPYRIGHT The organization that has made the Item available reasonably believes that the Item is not restricted by copyright or related rights, but a conclusive determination could not be made.
