'Z N 1 . .X , Nr t il tl if i FOUNDATION Under the providence of the Almighty, the Catholics of Kentucky owe their religion to a band of priestly exiles who came to America, where they could follovv in peace their divinely commissioned conquest of souls. Among that band was the pre-ordainecl Patriarch of the West, Benedict Joseph Flaget. Soon after his arrival, he was chosen for the newly established See of Bardstown. After building a cathedral and a seminary, his unwearied mind and indefatigable hands found other work to do. True to the spirit of the holy Church, he realized the importance of higher education as the strong auxiliary in safeguarding lll lll mi fl iff ' vi ry the interests of the faith, and side by side, the former Catheclrai of St. Joseph and St, Joseph's College stand. lf the church looms to heaven as a monument to the zeal and piety of Ken- tucky's tirst bishop, the College is no less a tribute to his devotedness and many sided ac- tivities, and both will rebound to his glory ages after their material construction shall have mingled with the elements. x 4-. aw -. li llll llll i ig 'Q UNTIRING are the doctors and nurses of Bardstown.
