' GARLAN :Xinong Catholics and non-Catholics throughout the United States, the name Dennis Cardinal Dougherty is known and is synonymous with the outstanding Cardinal Archbishop of Philadelphia. However. his more intimate Philadelphians associate this name with gentleness, a scholarly intellect, sincere interest. and a Zeal- ous priestly spirit. Born in Homesville, Pennsylvania, on August lb, 1865, our Cardinal holds the distinction of being the only prelate to rule over four dioceses in succession, the only native American Cardinal to serve as a missionary Bishop on foreign soil, and the only native American to serve as Papal Legate beyond the United States. Following his ordination on Hay 31. 1890, in the Basilica of St. .lohn Lateran, Rome. the Reverend Dennis Dougherty returned to the St. Charles Seminary as professor. This thirteen-year mission was interrupted by another call to Rome. where. on june I-l, 1903, Father Dougherty became Bishop. This appointment took His Pixcellency to the Philippine lslands. where he capably fitted himself to his new role of missionary at llaro. The success of this mission proved the practicability of his creed. VVork overcomes everything! Upon the death of :Xrchbishop lfdmund I . Prendergast. Bishop Dougherty received a series of new titlesf Cardinal Archbishop and fourth Archbishop of Philadelphia. Be- ginning with this appointment on Xlay 1, 1018, and continuing to the present, his Eminence has championed a forward movement of Catholicity in America. His reorganization and augmentation of the Philadelphia Catholic school system is of especial interest. The establishment of one hundred six new parishes increased the num- ber of parish schools in Philadelphia. ln time, this step effected another necessary increase-the diocesan high schools. To meet the demands of the rising enrollment in secondary schools. diocesan high schools were constructed. Today, in Philadelphia alone, there are five diocesan high schools for boys and four for girls. The com- bined enrollment of these nine schools totals approximately 2l,UUO. Throughout his priestly career, Cardinal Dougherty has main- tained and fostered devotion to St. Therese of the Child Jesus. His was the distinguished privilege of assisting at the canonization of this saint. ln her honor, he bestowed the title of Little Flower upon our beloved school. The undying ardor of his devotion to St. Therese has won for Dennis Cardinal Dougherty the title Cardinal of the l.ittle Flower. In tribute to our zealous Prelate. we Ll -ites claim for him the title Little Flowerls Cardinalul rh- , ra ,WmJ sk W AV
