To begin to build a tradition, a seed must be se- cured. planted in rich soil. watered and fed. The Marian- ists, better known formerly as the Brothers of Nlary. carried this precious seed in 1856 from llayton. Ohio. and sowed it in several parishes of tht- Cleveland Dio- cese. Todav two great schools testify to its flourishing growth. sti ,loseph High School. and Cathedral l.atin School. Although Cathedral 1.atin came under the direc- tion of the Brothers of llary in 1916, the city of Cleve- land had already known the Brothers and their work for the past sixty years. lt all began in 1856 at St, Patrickis Parish. the first English school accepted by the Brothers of Mary. There they labored until 1879, when with a brief inter- mission of three years. thev resumed their work upon the request of the parish authorities.

St. Peteris Parish was the next to see the work of the Brothers beginning in the March of 1863 and ending in the summer of 1922. Between 1880 and 1889 they conducted the grade school at St. Bridget's Parish. Interestingly enough Holy Name High School was staffed by the Brothers from 1881 to 1891 when it was then known as St. Columba's Academy. tNewburgj In 1903 still another parish, St. Stephen. beckoned for these educators of the Society of Mary. By 1916, because St. Johns Cathedral School be- came all too inadequate. it was then moved to the pre- sent 107 Street location and its name changed to Cath- edral Latin School.
