M., Superior Gen- eral of the Congregation of the Mis- sion, arrived in St. Louis to visit the Western Province, accompanied by the Rev. Pierre Dulau, C. M., the Secre- tary General. This snapshot was taken the following day as our most honored Father entered the priest house here at the Barrens. The complete student body, all the novices and priests con- gregated at the front entrance to welcome him. After his arrival and informal welcome, we proceeded to the Com- munity Chapel and chanted the Mag- nificat. After this the Very Reverend Superior General was shown arou"d the spacious seminary grounds by Frn. William Barr, Joseph Lilly and the two directors. In a short ceremony thab night in the student auditorium, Mr. James Galvin, C. M., on behalf of students, novices and brothers, formally welcomed our distinguished visitor.

This year of Our Lord 1950 marks the centennial of the establishment of New Orleans as an archdiocese. At one time there were only two Sees in what is now the United States - Baltimore and NewBOrleans. New Orleans became a diocese in 179,: and in 1850 Pope Pius IX raised the See to the dignity of an Archdiocese with Monseigneur Blanc, its first Archbishop.

The history of the Vincentians is rather bound up with the history of the church in New Orleans (or Louisiana territory). It was the second Bishop of New Orleans, Most Reverend Louis W. Dubourg, who in 11l6 toured Europe in an effort to recruit Priests for th'e Louisiana missions. From Italy he obtained DeAndreis, Rosati and the other "founding fathers" of the ongregation of the Mission in the United States. Let us not forget the destination of these missionaries was the Louisiana missions,

With the passing of the years 3ishop Rosati was consecrated at Donaldson- ville, and for about five years administered the New Orleans diocese. Various towns and hamlets throughout the Louisiana district became fields.for Vincentian laborers. Bishop Leo DeNeckere left an impression of his saintliness upon the people; and he was the first Bishoa to be'buried at the Oathedral. Jean Marie Odin became the second Archbishop of New Orleans and proved to be a pious and efficient administrator. Vincentians lived in those times when New Orleans was a turbulent city with a turbulent populace; when it was called the "city of Babylon" and when several Bishops actual.ly dreaded taking over the remains of administration.

In the year 188' the Vincentians opened 'the first seminary, St. Vincent's Diocesan seminary at Plattenville. In 1855 fire destroyed the seminary. Two years later, however, the Vincentians re-opened at the Bouligny plantation where St. Stephen's now stands. The seminary was forced to discontinue, due to lack of funds in 1867.

Among less known heroic Vincentians who worked in the South were Angelo Ferrari, a young Priest who succumbed to the "yellow jack" and died in 1822; and Father Boglioli, the "leper Priest" of Louisiana.

St. Stephen's was the first Vincentian parish in New Orleans, having begun in the year 1849. A long line of confreres have been Pastors there, and a great nuimber have been assistants.

St. Joseph's waa the parish that beaan under a secular Priest, Father Edward D'Hauw in 1844. The parish was entrusted to the Vincentians in 1858 and its first Pastors were men well known in Community history - Hayden, Smith, Fitzgerald, Hickey, and Weldon.

Vincentians have shared in the adverse times of the See of New Orleans times of anti-clericalism, or irreverence towards the clergy, of nationalism, of financial embarrassment, of loose morals, of ignorance, or war.

Archbishop Joseph F. Rummel ordered a triduum in comiemoration of the centennial of the Archdiocese in all parish churches. On Wednesday, October llth at 10 o'clock, Most Reverend Archbishop Cicognani, Apostolic Delegate officiated at a Solemn Pontifical Mass at the Cathedral. -Twelve members of the hierarchy were in attendance, as well as nearly two hundred clergymen. A dinner for the clergy took place at the Roosevelt Hotel.

We therefore of the Western Province should extend heartily our prayerful best wishes to the Archdiocese of the South, INTENDE, PROSPERE, PROCEDE, ET REuA.; REPORTS ON COM UNIT'Y NEWS

("He did enough for five years!" says Old.) So both viewers were very happy and pleased with camp. "But didn't"-someone ask-"didn't the sudden death of one student, and the illness of another serve to throw a pall of gloom over the rest of the student body?" Not at all. To be sure, there was some sadness, but a spirit of Christian hope soon dissipated any gloom that might have descended, and the mishaps and obstacles met and overcome only served to strengthen the bond of fraternal comradeship and solidarity. The students were fortunate in having as Camp Director Father Welter, a real confrere. The rest of the administration also was very satisfactory to F. Y.

PARISH HISTORY

The parish was founded by the Vincentians in 1849 at.the request of Bishop Anthony Blanc. Rev. Angelo Gondolfo, CM, then laboringamong the people of St. Genevieve, Mo., was confided the task of organizing the new parish. A building serving as refectory and Church was soon constructed, the first Mass being celebrated in 1850. The parish grew rapidly until Fr. Verrina, C.M. saw the need of a church on a larger scale The civil war and its disasterous aftermath postponed the erection untill867; the magnificent structure was dedicated in 1888, its majestic steeple being added in 1910.

To the Daughters of Charity who hdd been teaching girls in the -School of the Five Wounds. from 1852-1863 and. in 'St. Joseph's Academy' froml863-1878 was entrusted the parochial school, St. Vincent'Ts Academy in 1878. Three small classrooms accomodated 100 pupils. Tey years later an additional two- storied northern wing was attached to the main building and after another decade of progress a much-needed southern wing was constructed. A convent adjoining the school was built in 192, a year after the installation of the stained glass windows in church.

The parish has continued to grow spiritually and materially during the first half of this century through the beneficent grace of Almighty God and the wholehearted co-operation of the laity and clergy until under its: present Pastor, Fr. ODea it has assumed a new aspect. The church has been renovated, its new marble altar and statues have been installed. It is a worthy tribute to the self-sacrificing parishibners and members of the Double Family who have devoted themselves to promoting God's interests during the past hundred years.

Little can be expressed here which the Double Family has not already more aptly shown. The two Superiors were honored as would have been St. Vincent and St. Louise. Our tribute then is not now to be verbal; a living token perhaps will express it better. May St. Vincent live in the hearts of all his priests and St. Louise dwell in the aspirations and undertakings of every Daughter. May all of us, imbibed in their spirit, imitate, their example and live their life.

Mr. Wilbert Bruns presented us with an evening of top entertainment, satirizing the foibles of the fight game, which is so much in the spotlight these days. The moral of the story was: Anything can happen, and when it does, make the best of it. As the play opens, Speed McFarland (Mr. Edward Gallagher), world's mid- dleweight champ begins to look more like a chump after getting knocked ort in a street brawl by Eurleigh Sulli- van (Mr. Stafford Poole), a milk-stop of a milkman. Eddie (Mr. Glennon Figge) and Willard (Mr. Romulus Von Hazmburg), two reporters, help not at all by playing the story up big. Of course this gives Gabby Sloan (Mr. Carl Callier), the champ's manager, one great big headache, but he turns the situation to his own advantage by signing Burleigh to a fight contract, after convincing Burleigh's old father (Mr. Robert Olker), (who was supposed to be Burleigh's father but talked more like his mother) that it will make a man of the boy. !4.

Sometime during the past three centuries we have lost something of the proud heritage that used to belong to us in the field of social work. Many of the social institutions, which are considered to be modern innovations, can in reality be traced back to the time of St. Vincent. He in his time advocated a more humane treatment of prisoners; he founded orphanages, and homes for foundlings; and, in general, he was ever helpful to the poor and under- privileged of any sort. That we have lost some cf this heritage in the course of the past three centuries was the focal point of the first portion of Fr. Gaughan's lecture delivered to the students a few weeks ago. For the best and most efficient work in this field one should precure fhe Officers of the CSMC for 1950-51.

The De Andrein staff, on behalf of the whole community, wishes to extend to him its best wishes and prayers that his ministry will be fruitful and very acceptable in the eyes of God. REV. MR. ROBERT LAMY Mr. Lamy, our genial deacon, was born and reared in St. Stephen's parish. He has the distinction of being one of the last students to spend five years at the Cape. Ever since vows, Bob has been identified with many of the student activities. Before he developed his prominent "bay window" he was the center fielder on the varsity, and even captained the squad for a year. He has also run the gauntlet of offices in the mission society, having served first as secretary, then as vice-president, and finally last year as president. In the field of dramatics. Bob's forte has been the minstrel. For the past few years he has been serving in the capacity of end man, following in the footsteps of his illustrious predecessors Frs. Ruiz and Shaughnessy. Down through the years he has become famous for his "walky talky" delineation of songs-especially, "Chic, Chic, Chicken." For the summer school educational program, Bob has chosen Latin as his field of concentration, and will probably continue his studies at St. Louis University next summer. Although Mr. Lamy was to be found in the thick of many student activities he will be most sorely missed in those daily recreation periods when his high cackling laughter could be heard ringing through the 'rec' hall. Often it was auestionable whether the confreres were laughing more at the antics of the comedians on T. V. or at Bob and his high pitched laugh. It is our hope that God will see fit to bless the days of your ministry in the same fashion as he has blessed the days of your scholasticate. REV. MR.

The grounds alleged for such an action were the lack of an add- quate endowment, a library deficient in some departments, and not enough PhoD's on the faculty.

FATHERS TACKABERRY, RILET CATHOLIC U. AND CASE

3T. -L0 U1 U. NIOVICE5 g!FRIE.N ST. PATRICK'S CHURCH, LA SALLE, COMMEMORATES CENTENNIAL

The oldest Catholic Church in Northern Illinois, established in May, 1938, is the proud title claimed by St. Patrick's. The original structure was a log cabin affair built by Irish pioneers in the La Salle community. Irish in considerable numbers had come to the United States, those who went West to La Salle were attracted by the promise of work on the Illin- ois-Michigan canal, then under construction. The I. & M. company donated the land on which the church now stands.

William Byrne, a canal contractor, went to St. Louis to beseech Bishop Rosati for priests to minister to the needs of the people. The first two C.M. 's to be sent were Fathers J. Raho and A. Pardi. After the journey by heavy wagon they were met at the wharf by John Cody and B. Byrne who led a parade compcsed of the priests, band playing 'Garry.Owen' and long procession of well-wishers. Arriving at the Byrnes' log cabin, a mile from the river dock, a formal message of welcome was read by Byrnes' little daughter. This was the first home of the Vincentians in the Ill- inois country. Mass was said here on weekdays, on Sundays if the weather permitted it was said in the forest, and in case of inclement weather in the home of one John Hynes.

The first St. Patrick's church was made from logs hewn in the forest. A bell was procurel from St.Louis. People attended the first mass from as far away as 100 miles. The church had a floor of oak, heavy plaster interior, log exterior, and thatched roof. Its extent was 50 ft. long, 30 ft. wide and 14 ft. high. A small addition was later added, becoming the first rectory. The priests went out on missions in the territory.

In 1838 cholera struck the community with a vengeance. The priests were kept busy constantly, ministering to the sick, giving the last rite3: and burying the dead. In time this epidemic passed and the community returned to its normal actities.

The present edifice was the result of four and one-half years labor. The first mass was read there on June 1, 1851, 2 years after another epidemic of cholera. The ground for the present rectory was broken in 1887. The Daughters of Charity have been operating St. Patrick's parochial school since 1857. The nuns have recently moved into their new convent, across the street from their former residence which may be turned into a parish recreational center.

Present St. Patrick's has had a long line of illustrious pastors beginning with Fr. John O'Reilly and continuing through the years until now it is staffed by Fr. E. McCarthy, pastor, and Frs. W. Quinn, C. Saun- ders, and J. Hickey, assistants.

On June 10, Very Rev. J. Stakelum, C.M.V. celebrated a solemn high mass. The sermon was preached by the Most Rev. Joseph Schlarman, bishop of Peoria. A great number of the parishioners received holy communion, thus evidencing their gratitude for the Lord's blessings over the years. All the priests on the altar other than the celebrant and preacher were former parishioners, Vincentians and otherwise. Confreres in attendance whose home is or was La Salle are: Frs. Edmund Vohs, Joseph Martin, Jos- eph Brennan, Robert Brennan, Robert Zimney, and Charles Welter. Following the mass there was a dinner in Hotel Kaskaskia honoring the bishop. Be- sides the clergy the fourth degree Knights of Columbus attended the dinner. Dear Subscriber:

VACATION PERIOD

dJust what is the summer period routine here at the Barrens?" is a question we have been asked frequently. What do the students and novices do with their time? How do they keep occupied during the summer months? These and many more questions like them are answered an untold number of times each year. We would like to briefly outline the schedule followed by the students and novices.

The novices are occupied with three things in particular, prayer, work and recreation. Their religious exercises are of primary importance. The work they perform is mainly in the upkeep of their grounds and helping the Brothers on the farm crew.

Recreation is had in various formso Softball in the evenings is probably the favorite sport althokgh baseball, tennis, and handball attract a considerable proportion of the group. A few are engrossed in gardening, taking care of the flower beds, the cemetary plot, and the grotto to St. Joseph. Some have carpentering ability which is expended in the maintenance and repair of the Novitiate building and surrounding territory.

The main recreational event is the trip to the Villa each Wednesday. This is located about two and a half miles from the seminary on the Saline creek. Food is transported from the seminary for the noon and supper meal. The day is a happy one for all concerned. Those who like fishing can follow the meander- ing stream and cast their lines into holes or shallow rapids where the bass and perch congregate. Occasionally a succulent catfish or worthless gar is caught. There are a couple of notable swimming holes in the vicinity but for the most part the water is shallow, not being deeper than two or three feeto After dinner a few strenuous games of volley ball are played by some while others bask in the sunshine or enjoy a siesta. By the time the day is finished a tired but happy group of novices come trooping back to the seminary.

Last but not least on their agenda is the reception of visitors, family and relatives. For those who have just entered the Novitiate this is the first opportunity their parents have to see their sons in clerical dress. The visiting season lasts all summer, differing from the students in this, that the students do not receive visitors during the summer school period and usually not during the time at campo

The summer period of the students adds to that of the novices summer school. After ordinations there is a period of little over a week in which the students relax and indulge in sports. Many of the students have visitors during this period, particularly those who are attending summer school else- where than here at the seminary. The Philosophers begin school here about the middle of June. After the completion of school there is another week to receive visitors before leaving for camp which is located about 20 miles outside of Fredricktown in the foothills of the Ozarks.

The theologians attend summer school either at St. Louis U. or Catholic Uo After six laborious weeks of class they return to Perryville anxious to leave for camp. It would take another six pages to list the variouS activities of the camping season. This subject will be given due treatment in the September issue of the DEANDREINo It is sufficient to note that it is a time of rest, quiet, and peace for some while for the remainder it is a time of boisterous activity, merriment, and adventure°

After returning from camp there is a week of feverish activity- baseball games, preparation for class, and reception of visitors who come from such widely scattered places as Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, New Orleans, and Dallas. This then is a rough sketch of vacation time at the Barrens° SPage Three
