Joseph Cataldo, S.J. papers, 1862-2006.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/476910906

Since Fr. Cataldo was a well known personage even during his own lifetime, he has received a considerable amount of biographical attention, and many of these secondary sources have been added to his Papers. These are almost uniformly laudatory in tone, especially the profiles written at the time of his Diamond Jubilee, which commemorated his remarkable 75 year career as a Jesuit. Posthumous studies have tended to rely heavily on those celebratory accounts. In his own correspondence, Fr. Cataldo's focus was on business rather than pleasure, so the bulk of his written communication dates to the period when he was Superior of the Rocky Mountain Mission, especially during the frenetic 1885-1893 period. Even in his personal correspondence Cataldo was often being asked to provide autobiographical information or historical insight. One engaging exception is the vaguely mentor-protégé exchange that Cataldo maintained (1917-1923) with young Fr. Felix Geis.

Catholic missionaries did not approach the Nez Percé until 1867, more that thirty years after Henry Spalding had begun his Presbyterian mission at Lapwai. Jesuit Fr. Joseph Cataldo found a cool reception, if not from overt anti-Catholic sentiments of Spalding's "mission band," then from the general animosity stemming from ever increasing White encroachemt on Indian lands. For his first two years in the area Cataldo had to content himself with extending his religion to the miners then filling Le...

Joseph M. Cataldo was born March 17, 1837 in Terrasini, Sicily. His youth was marked by frail health and multiple family relocations particularly in response to the 1848 pan-European political turbulence, felt in Sicily as well. In 1852, at the ripe age of 15, he petitioned to join the Sicily Province of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), based in nearby Palermo. His early training was interrupted by more bad health and removal to Rome in 1860 due to the success of Garibaldi's Sicilian campaign. In...
