24214056 gdlldgd 7M gala! dd Www One hundred years ago the Upper Peninsula of Michi- gan was erected as a separate episcopal unit with the dauntless pioneer missionary, Frederic Baraga, as its first bishop. Ordained September 21, 1823, this saintly priest left his home and work in Austria to offer his services to Bishop Fenwick of Cincinnati as a missionary to the Indians of the Lake Superior Region. After a lengthy and fruitful apostolate the beloved prelate died January 19, 1868. Heroic bishop of a pioneer land, this second Xavier is credited with the conversion of 25,000 Indians. To him, in the year that marks the l'00th anniversary of his consecration as the first Bishop of our diocese, We lovingly dedicate our 1953 BARAGAN. 7 ?05 After fire had destroyed St. Josephis Academy, February 17, 1903, the Rev. Joseph Pinten, pastor of the Marquette Cathedral, determined to erect a parish school and in its name to perpetuate the fame of Marquetteis first bishop. On November 1, 1903, the fiftieth an- niversary of Bishop Baragais episcopal consecration, the cornerstone of Baraga School was laid and blessed by the Rt. Rev. Frederic Eis, the fourth bishop of Mar- quette. 1705--?mag4ScdwZSa'e0,44aaZeZ4e
