f- ,Q f- NLLU MIN 'U Q, Let us reioice in the Lord, our God Ps.32:l A JUBILEE YEAR Into the newly created Rochester Diocese in the year 1868, came its first shepherd, the saintly Bishop Bernard J. McQuaid. Under his inspiring leadership churches sprang up, and the foundation for the Christian education of Catholic children was laid. At the time of his arrival in Rochester there was only one Catholic school. This school was for the education of boys who could meet the required tuition. Like the true shepherd he was, Bishop McQuaid loved equally all his sheep, and he set about to establish schools in which the poor also could be taught by religious instructors. Thus, besides high schools for both boys and girls, a seminary for the education of priests, and a normal school for the instruction of religious teachers were founded. At the time of his death every church throughout the diocese that could support one had its parish school. But the cause of education did not suffer at his death. His successors Archbishop Thomas F. Hickey, Bishop Francis J. O'Hern, Archbishop Edward 1. Mooney and our beloved Bishop james E. Kearney, realizing the importance of his work contributed greatly to that which Bishop McQuaid had begun. They, too, have built churches and established schools. Today in our Silver jubilee Year we have cause for rejoicing. After seventy-frve years of continuous progress in the face of hardships and opposition the educational system of the Rochester Diocese is regarded highly by recognized edu- cators. A great part of its success in recent years must be credited to Rev. john M. Duffy, superin- tendent of schools, and Rev. Charles J. Mahoney, assistant superintendent. Their untiring efforts in searching out better methods for advancement have met with gratifying results. We at Nazareth realize fully what has been done for us. Besides receiving a thorough training in secular education, we have learned that such knowledge avails nothing unless it is accompanied by the knowledge and love of God. We appreciate all that has been given to us by our bishops, our pastors, our teachers, and our parents in the excellent educational system that they have helped to build up. In a special way we are also grateful to Dr. Maynard Connell of St. Bernard's Seminary. Every first Friday he comes to Nazareth that we may receive the Lord, our Light, in Holy Communion and visit Him in the exposition of the Blessed Sacrament in the chapel throughout the entire clay. We know that the spirit of Bishop McQuaid will live on in the diocese that he loved so well, guiding the educators to the attainment of those great things of which he dreamed, but which no one lifetime, however long, could accomplish. 7 S'-' 1C ' ff I' ml m Q . . .,, - x slgdf- ' '- 'g.sf,- f Q J 45TH A
