On April 9, 2018, St. Patrick Catholic Church made an appointment to have the carpets cleaned in the church on Friday, April 20th. The appointment was made, the appointment was confirmed by Wanda on April 19th. We needed the carpet cleaned by April 20th because we had a huge event, an Ordination with our Bishop, George Thomas, celebrating the Mass. We expected people from all over Montana and others coming from out of town and state. We wanted the first Catholic Church built in Butte to look it's best! Friday morning, April 20, comes and I went over to let the crew into the church to begin the work. Before I could do that, the owner came rushing up in his car, jumped out, came up to me and said we don't do churches, my crew is leaving. I said "what are you talking about?" He once again said, "we don't clean churches!" I reminded him we made the appointment two weeks ago, your office knew we were a Catholic Church. He again replied, "we don't clean churches". After treating me rudely and condescendingly, he got in his car and left, leaving me standing on the sidewalk wondering what had just happened. What a terrible disappointment to be treated like this and be prevented from presenting our Church at its best in spite of thorough planning. read more
