This order was founded in Italy in 1732 by St. Alphonsus Ligouri. The order has an illustrious history and has been of great service to thelchurch. True to the ideals set before them by the saintly Alphonsus, our priests are essentially and by their specific vocation a missionary society imbued with the apostolic spirit to preach the gospel to the poor. to seek out and bring salva- tion to the most abandoned souls. The church needs such men to carry on its work, to inspire, to vivify. and to energize its soul and spirit. Houses of the Redemptorist Order are established in nearly every country of Europe, Africa and far off Australia as well as in North and South America. In june, l832. three Redemptorist Fathers and three brothers landed in New York. In a short time they were laboring heroically among the whites and Indians of northern Michigan and Ohio. Wherever the Fathers went their first concern was to establish a parochial school and to take special care of the growing youth. ln I878 Kansas City was selected as a suitable site for an educational institution. The Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help was soon built and the Redemptorist parish permanently established here. Very Reverend Frederic Faivre, C. Ss. R., the superior: Rev. Fridolin Luette, C. Ss. R.: Brothers Andrew and James constituted the little community. So. through the many years that have passed since then, numbers of Fathers, too many to name, have labored zealously for the welfare of this parish. At present there are eight priests stationed here: FATHER GUNN, Superior FATHER CoNDoN FATHER POLK FATHER NEALON FATHER CARROLL FATHER ScoTT FATHER KANE FATHER KALVELAGE We are fortunate in having as our spiritual guides priests of exemplary culture, earnest and zealous workers, whose influence for good among the pupils has been deep and lasting. Our priests are our instructors in Ethics and Religion. They give not merely the instruction of the intellect, but stress especially the moral training of the heart. ' ' Their concern and care for us, their fatherly interest and guidance deserve our truest appreciation and heartfelt gratitude. MARY CATHERINE RYAN, '29. S-x P V s ,E s H Q51 Sixty-five
