Historic
Church of the Blessed Sacrament. The Church of the Blessed Sacrament in Montpelier kept these parish registers between 1908 and 1920. The records were kept out at Lava Hot Springs between 1920 and 1934. From 1934-1946 the name of the church changed to the Holy Ghost Mission. The headquarters of the Holy Ghost Mission was located in Pocatello, Idaho at St. Anthony's Church from 1934-1946 and in Preston, Idaho at St. Peter's Church from 1947-1956. In 1957 the name of the church was changed back to The Church of the Blessed Sacrament with the center of the parish being in Montpelier until 1963. At that time the center of the parish was moved to Soda Springs and the name of the church became St. Mary's. The Family History Library in Salt Lake City has microfilmed these records found at the Archives of the Roman Catholic Diocese in Boise, Idaho. They are available for viewing at the Library in Salt Lake City or in any of its Family History Centers.
