Fr. Casimir Butler OFM Cap. at the rear of St. Theresa's Friary in Livingstone. The original caption reads: ‘In 1910 he left Ireland to help out in Hermiston, Oregon in the United States. Casimir began work and soon he had built a small church. Before he left Hermiston, Casimir built three mission churches. Casimir embarked on a new adventure, going to Cape Town, helping to establish a Capuchin presence there and then Zambia (then called Northern Rhodesia) where the Irish Capuchin Province had established a new mission. The Livingstone government had set aside a plot for a Catholic church and house. Casimir hired a contractor to build a house: ever since known as “217” (PO Box). Casimir was fifty-five years old when he arrived and was not in good health’.
