CK 244 DAYTON AVENUE SAINT PAUL 2. MINNESOTA May 15 , 1960 TO THE REVEREND PASTOR AND HIS ASSISTANT CLERGY AND TO THE PEOPLE OF THE PARISH OF ST. ANTHONY: The Archbishop extends his compliments and his congratulations on the completion of the latest projects in St. Anthony's parish in Minneapolis. The renewed grade school will afford not only better accomodations for the children of the parish, but will also give them a far better opportunity to grow in the knowledge and love of God, for which purpose our schools exist. The renewed and enlarged high school will again, for a while at least, allow St. Anthony's parish to continue in the role of mother of the other churches and parishes in the district. Here will be served, as far as accomodations will allow, not only your own children, but those of the neighborhood. It was for this that the Archdiocese of St. Paul was happy to include the high school development in the general expansion of high school facilities in our cities. St. Anthony's parish will be glad to carry its share of the burden. The other parishes have offered their share through the Archbishop Brady High School Expansion Fund. we can do so much by united efforts and what has been accomplished among you is an excellent example. With every blessing for a glorious future, I remain, De otedly in Christ, 'Zuaaquzz MK William 0. Brady Archbishop of St. Paul

May 6, 1960 Dear Father Lang. It is a pleasure to extend to you and the good parishioners of St. Anthony's Parish hearty congratulations as you mark another accomplishment in your historical record. Your new grade school and reconstructed high school are but the latest evidence of the constant vitality of the venerable St. Anthony's. Your parish has never diminished its role of leadership in the Catholic life of Minneapolis. Old but ever new could indeed be the motto of the seal of St. Anthony's parish. The parish. like Holy Mother Church Herself, has never fallen under change, but has found the secret of perduring by meeting the challenges of a changing society. What an example this good parish should be to all the other parishes in Minneapolis. May the Holy Spirit continue to inflame the hearts of your good people with the spirit of apostolicity that has characterized it these many years. Sincerely in Christ, Leonard P. Cowley Auxiliary to the Archbishop of Saint Paul
