Order of the Priests of the Sacred Heart
Ordained 1923
In 1923 Fr. Henry Hogebach, SCJ came to the US from Germany. His ministry led him to the Lower Brule Reservation in South Dakota.
In the spring of 1927 Fr. Hogebach received permission to purchase the Columbus College campus at Chamberlain, South Dakota for $40,000.
In the fall of 1927 Fr. Hogebach opened St. Joseph's Indian School with 53 Lakota boys and girls.
In the following years, the school saw many hard times, but through God's grace and Fr. Hogebach's dedication school opened every fall.
Through the gifts from many generous friends, Father Hogebach was able to obtain enough supplies to meet the needs of the children and Benedictine Sisters who worked there.
Much of his time was spent raising funds to keep the school open; donations of clothing, shoes, medication and other supplies were greatly appreciated and well-used … just as they are today.
Over 90 years later, St. Joseph's Indian School serves 200 Lakota boys and girls, providing them with a safe, stable environment that responds to the needs of the whole child — mind, body, heart and spirit.
