There are quite a few Italians in his parish, but they are poor specimens religiously. He also wants an English and French...

Father James Gleeson will likely get more from Deadwood and Fort Meade in gold than Toohey will draw from his entire parish. There are a great many cities on the map. Some have 5 or 6 cabins.
