Remember, O most compassionate God, that they are but weak and frail human beings. Stir up in them the grace of their vocation which is in them by the imposition of the Bishop ' s hands. Keep them close to Thee, lest the enemy prevail against them, so that they may never do anything in the slightest degree unworthy of their sublime vocation. O Jesus, I pray Thee for Thy faithful and fervent priests; for Thy imfaithful and tepid priests; for Thy priests laboring at home or abroad in distant mission fields; for Thy tempted priests; for Thy lonely and desolate priests; for Thy young priests; for Thy dying priests; for the souls of Thy priests in purgatory. But above all I commend to Thee the priests dearest to me; the priest who baptized me; the priests who have absolved me from my sins; the priests at whose Masses I assisted and who have given me Thy Body and Blood in Holy Communion; the priests who have taught and encouraged me; all the priests to whom I am indebted in any other way, particularly O Jesus, keep them all close to Thy heart, and bless them abundantly in time and in eternity. Amen. — Most Rev. Richard J. Gushing, D.D. r =-sE= .I ' -a;, k ■S-- : £= 5 s f£L _ ■Sf] fll Ei E y jp p = — ae ■ pI K-. ! fi First Church Committee OF Present Church. or . . 45. R.C. CHURCH. A.

All the available historical facts that contributed to Mount Washington ' s development are here recorded so that we might be fully appreciative of the ne v period of history which is just beginning — The Redevelopment Program for Pittsbingh. The building of the Saint Mary of the Mount new high school and convent is one of the first steps in the Renaissance of Motmt Washington. In our history of the parish, ve have tried to record the material growth of the parish during its 28 years of existence. It is impossible to record or to measure its spiritual gro vth. Much of the progress of the parish is due to those - vhose names are not mentioned herein because they are unkno vn to us. But the important thing is that their deeds are known to God and are recorded in His books never to be for- gotten. The material progress of Saint Mary of the Mount which reveals the gro vth of a small mission into one of the finest and largest parishes of the diocese is ample proof of the spiritual growth of the good people who are responsible for that growth. For such and so many material and spiritual gifts, - ve are grateful to God, and to His Blessed Mother to whom our parish was dedicated in 1874. It is most fitting that the parish -whose church overlooks the Golden Triangle should be dedicated in honor of Our Blessed Lady, just as the first church established in Pittsburgh vas dedicated in her honor under the title of The Blessed Mother of the Assumption of the Beau- tiful Rivers. In reading the pages of this book of the history of Saint Mary of the Mount parish, not only do we realize its growth but also its influence over all the diocese. From here originated not only the Apostolate but also the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine. Our hope and prayer is that as we become a part of the Renaissance of Pittsburgh in a material vay, ve may, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, also become a far greater part of her spirittial Renaissance. Reverend J. Donald O ' Neil. Early Pittsburgh Waterfront Pittsburgh Sesqui-Centennial — 1908 Jiisto The construction of a ne v convent and high school is just another milestone in the consistent progress that has attended St. Mary of the Mount Parish on Mt. Wash- ington since its inception in the year 1873. That we might get a proper perspective of the growth and expansion of the Mt. Washington parish, it will be well to go back into the history of this region where Christ ' s vork for souls has so patently been blessed. What we now know as Mt. Washington was formerly known as Coal Hill. During the Revolutionary period a British soldier discovered coal vithin the cliffs of this region. In fact, it was this coal that kindled the fires of Fort Pitt and later served as the main coal supply during the early development of the city of Pittsburgh. Not until April 2, 1872, was the name of Coal Hill abandoned in favor of the name of Mt. Washington, after the Father of our country. It was atop this plateau-like land of Mt. Washington on November 28, 1753, that George Washington made a survey of Fort Pitt and foresaw the important position of Pittsburgh as the gateway to the West. Pittsburgh is a city of hills, but none is comparable to the plateau of Mt. Wash- ington Avhich commands one of the most beautiful panoramic vicAvs in the United States. Standing 1,220 feet above sea level and 500 feet above the junction of the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio Rivers, Mt. Washington remained undeveloped territory for many years, and while the city of Pittsburgh developed within the Golden Triangle and along the north bank of the Allegheny River, Mt. Washington remained farmland for the few who had settled there. The original farms on Mount Washington were purchased from John Penn, the Younger, and John Penn, the Older. Coal Hill wns part of the manor of Pittsburgh. It was one of the manors that the Common vealth of Pennsylvania permitted the Penns to retain following the Revolutionary War. The ground on which Saint Mary of the Mount Church and School are located was originally a part of the farm pur- chased by Abraham Kirkpatrick from the Penns. Abraham Kirkpatrick, a major in the Revolutionary War, played a very important part in the Whiskey Rebellion. He was married to the sister of General Neville ' s wife. On March 27, 1794 Abraham Kirkpatrick purchased from the Penns two farms designated in the original plan as farms 10 and 11. The land consisted of seven hun- The map of Mount Washington and West Pittsburgh and Union drawn in 1872 shows the parish as it was when it was lounded in 1874. You will notice that the names ot the streets are quite different trom those at the present time. For ex- ample, Grandview Avenue was known as High Street. iMerrimac Street was called Maria Street. You will also note that High Street at Maria went back along the hillside. At that time it extended back ot the site ot the high school emerging near Olympia Street. Shiloh Street was called St. Clair Street: Wyoming Street was Washington Street; Natchez was called Neville Street; Belonda was named Bed- ford Street; Grace Street was Railroad Street; Omaha Street was known as White Oak Lane; Southern Street was known as the New Washington Road while Boggs Avenue was Old Washington Road; Amabell Street was Joels Lane; Kearsarge Street was called Kirkpatrick Street; Maple Terrace was Spring Street; LHysses Street was Union Street; Plymouth Street was Pine Street; Sweetbriar Street was Sarah Street; Republic Street was Fulton Street. Most of the changes in the names of the streets in Mt. Washington took place after it was annexed to the City of Pittsburgh because of the duplication of names. dred sixteen acres atop Coal Hill for vhich land Kirkpatrick paid five hundred sixty- eight pounds, four shillings and four pence. (Deed Book 27, p. 289 — Register of Deeds Office). Four children were born to the Kirkpatricks — a son, who died at the age of twenty-one, and three daughters, Elizabeth, Mary Ann and Amelia. Elizabeth married Christopher Cowan, a pioneer in the steel industry; Mary Ann married Dr. Joel Lewis; and Amelia, the Honorable Charles Shaler. Dr. and Mrs. Joel Lewis were blessed vith four children — Abraham K., Maria, Mary Elizabeth and Mary Ann. Maria married Thomas Bigham. The home, built by Thomas Bigham in 1849, was to become a landmark in the history of Pittsburgh. Standing on a knoll in the midst of forty-five acres of wood- land, this home of stone and brick served as one of the stopping places in the Under- ground Railway for the Negroes before the Civil War. Though Chatham Village now occupies the land which originally comprised the Bigham Estate, the old mansion still stands and is now used as a club house. Other farms purchased from the Penns in the eighteenth century were the follow- ing: William Boggs: purchased on June 6, 1793, one hundred fifty-one acres and one hundred fifty-two perches for eighty-six pounds, seven shillings and seven pence — designated in the original plan as farm 6; (Deed Book, Vol. 3, page 203.) William Boggs: purchased on July 7, 1794, one hundred acres for eighty-seven pounds, ten shillings — designated as farm 2; (Deed Book, Vol. 3, Page 331.) George Wallace: purchased on March 27, 1794, farm 5 consisting of two hundred forty-five acres and one hundred fifty-two perches which were sold to Samuel Dilworth on August 22, 1795; who in turn, on February 1, 1796, sold to William and David Boggs one hundred eight acres for two hun- dred forty-three pounds and later seventy-one acres and one hundred twenty-six perches for three himdred pounds, ten shillings; (Deed Book, Vol. 6, page 482.) Robert Snodgrass: pinxhased farm 9 on March 27, 1774, for two hundred twenty- six pounds, eighteen shillings and nine pence. (Vol. 3, page 294.) The lots along the Monongahela River at the foot of Coal Hill were sold in smaller lots as compared to the lots on top of the hill. For example, it is recorded that Ephraim Jones purchased lot 56 on August 13, 1793, which consisted of twenty- five acres and one hundred three perches for which he paid seven teeii pounds, twelve shillings and six pence. (Deed Book 2, page 368.) When Ephraim Jones started his ferry service for people of the South Hills district, this ground was used as the ferry terminus. In 1870 the building of the Monongahela Incline, a unique engineering feat, con- sisting of a rail system built on a 38 degree angle up the hillside, made transportation Artist ' s Sketch of First Church Located on Belonda Street to Mt. Washington available. A year after the completion of the incline, Mt. Washing- ton began to flourish. In 1876, another factor that contributed to the growth of the Mt. Washington district was the construction of the Ducjuesne Incline. At first the residents did not patronize the Incline, preferring rather to save their pennies and use the hillside trail. A somewhat ludicrous legend is associated with the Duquesne Incline to the effect that shortly after the construction of the Incline, the preferred hillside trail suddenly became haunted by a ghost. Immediately the Incline trade picked up. Police investigation revealed that the ghost had been hired by the Incline Company in order to discourage the economy-loving residents from valking do vn the hill trail. Be that as is may, in 1871 there were 2,200 souls on Mt. Washington and where there are souls, there also, is Holy Mother Church. The parish of St. Mary of the Mount was established originally as a mission of St. Malachy ' s, a thriving parish on the South Side. St. Malachy ' s, one of the last parishes to be separated from the Cathedral, was established to ser ' e the Irish immigrants vho lived along Carson Street between St. John ' s, South Side and St. James ' , West End. Church Cornerstone Laying — 1896 Former Rectory in Background In the fall of 1869, Father C. V. Neeson was appointed the first resident pastor of St. Malachy ' s. It was Father Neeson who purchased the property for a new church; but it was his successor. Father Michael Murphy, who supervised the building of the chinch. Father Murphy was succeeded by Father M. J. Mitchell. When Father Mit- chell retired on December 20, 1871, Father James Cosgrave, the founder of St. Mary of the Mount Parish, was appointed pastor. As pastor of the flock at St. Malachy ' s, Father Cosgrave worked tirelessly, liquidating the debt, making improvements, and caring for the spiritual needs of his people. Because St. Malachy ' s Parish was hemmed in on the west by St. James ' Parish, on the north by the Monongahela River, and by the steep bluffs of Mt. Washington on the south, any hope of expansion vas ephemeral. Since the new inclines made the Mt. Washington region accessible, many Catholic families from St. Malachy ' s parish estab- lished themselves on the Moinit. Father Cosgrave, realizing the opportunities and advantages for growth and development in this aiea, began to make plans for the spiritual needs of his extended parish. His first concern vas to build a chapel. Interior of Church Before Redecoration Jjishops of zL itisbalgk Since the CstaUiskment of St. 3ialy of the 3iount S alisli Most Rev.

Boyle 1921-1950 On September 1, 1873, Father Cosgrave purchased two lots on the corner of Beloilda (at that time called Bedford Street) and Kearsarge Streets. Here, the first chtirch of St. Mary of the Mount was erected. The cornerstone was laid October 20, 1873 and the chiuxh was dedicated October 18, 1874. An unpretentious frame building, 70 feet in length and 30 feet wide, it served the needs of the parish from 1874 to 1897. Efforts to start a school in the basement of the church had to be aban- doned because of the financial diffictilties of the congregation, difficulties that were the result of the panic of 1873. St. Mary of the Motmt Church was considered a mission from St. Malachy ' s until 1877. Assisting Father Cosgrave in his administrative duties were Father J. Tobin, Father Thomas Neville, Father Peter McMahon, and Father Kiernan. Then, in October, 1877, Bishop Michael Domenec appointed Father Peter McMahon first resi- dent pastor of St. Mary of the Mount. Originally, the parish extended from Grand- view Avenue to Warrington Avenue and included what is now St. Justin ' s Parish. Successive pastors to Father McMahon were Father Edward Brennan, 1878-1881, Father Thomas Devlin, 1881-1883, Father J. F. Tobin, 1883-1891, and Father Kier- nan, February, 1891 to April 5, 1891. Father Tobin spent himself in his work at St. Mary of the Mount. An epidemic in 1891 took, its toll among the clergy of the diocese and Father Tobin sticcumbed to the disease on February 11, 1891 in the thirty-ninth year of his age and the six- teenth year of his holy priesthood. He was buried in St. Mary ' s Cemetery. Following the death of Father Tobin, Father Kiernan assumed the direction of the parish, but for a very short time. Two months after his appointment to St. Mary of the Mount, Father Kiernan was assigned to St. Patrick ' s Parish in Noblesto vn with St. Alphonsus ' Parish in McDonald as a mission. In April, 1891, Father John W. O ' Connell was appointed pastor of St. Mary of ihe Motmt and he labored zealously here for twelve years. Dtuing Father O ' Connell ' s l)astorate the present church was erected on the site which he purchased on the corner of Grandview Avenue and Ulysses Street. The building stands on a high point of Grandview Aventie and overlooks the lower city. It is Gothic in architecttire and was erected at the cost of seventy thousand dollars. The dedication of the new St. Mary of the Motmt Chtirch took place on Sunday, December 19, 1897. The Right Reverend Bishop Phelan, being unable to officiate because of illness, appointed Reverend Regis Canevin, Rector of St. Paul ' s Cathedral, to act in his stead. Father James Cosgrave was the celebrant of the Solemn High Mass and the deacon and stib-deacon Tvere Father Schram and Father Burns respectively. The sermon -was preached by Reverend John T. Murphy, C.S.Sp., president of Pitts- btngh College of the Holy Ghost (now Duquesne University) vho chose for his sub- ject The Church. Both priest and people rejoiced that now, after years of untiring efforts, they had succeeded in building an edifice Avhere they could fittingly offer adoration to the Most High. Father O ' Connell and his people were justifiably proud of the interior of their new church. The tinted walls, the very lovely altar railing, the pews and confessionals of the finest quality wood, all are the best they could provide and the overall effect is conducive to prayer and devotion. Particularly striking are the beautiful stained glass windows. The scenes depicted in the ten windows are not a random selection of incidents from Scripture. Rather, they are a pictorial view of the life of Christ — five repre- senting the private life of Christ and five His public life. Each window presents a fimd of material for meditation. The first window to the left of the sanctuary portrays the birth of Christ. This is a copy of Fenerstein ' s beavuiful painting, Holy Night. Hoffman ' s The Coming of the Magi is beautifully copied in glass in the second ■ivindow. Then, in proper se- quence come The Presentation, The Flight into Egypt, and Christ in the Tem- ple. The latter is also a faithful reproduction of Hoffman ' s famous painting. Equally beautiful and meditative are the five windows on the opposite wall. Be- ginning with the first window to the right of the sanctuary is a vivid illustration of The Sermon on the Mount. Then foUo vs the appealing scene, Christ Blessing Little Children. Hoffman is represented here, too, by a copy of one of his master- pieces, The Repentant Magdalen. The next window arouses us to compunction as we look upon the calm, benign face of Christ before Pilate. Lastly, a glorious and most fitting ending to this ever awe-inspiring story of love is The Resurrection from Hildebrand. Over the main entrance to the church is an immense window rep- resenting the Ascension. The light coming through the stained glass of this win- dow sheds a deep, ruddy glow over the entire gallery. For six years Father O ' Connell enjoyed the fruits of his labors at St. Mary of the Mount. In October, 1903, he was appointed irremovable rector of St. Peter ' s Parish on the North Side where he had previously labored for nine years, shortly after his ordination on December 7, 1881. After a life spent wholly for souls. Father O ' Connell died in Mercy Hospital on September 22, 1922, at the age of sixty-five. He was laid to rest with his brother priests in St. Mary ' s Cemetery on September 25, 1922. FATHER GRIFFIN When Father O ' Connell assumed the pastorate of St. Peter ' s Parish, the Right Reverend Bishop Richard Phelan appointed Very Reverend Edward P. Griffin rector Original School Building Original Convent Former Apostolate House Present Rectory Before Renovation of St. Mary of the Mount. Father Griffin came to the Moimt in 1903 and under his apostolic zeal the parish developed, flourished, and grew into one of the finest and best organized parishes in the diocese. Coupled Avith Father Griffin ' s appointment as pastor was also that of director of the mission work in the diocese. The Missionary Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, which was organized under his able guidance, will be related further on in this history. Appointed to assist Father Griffin in the work of the apostolate were Very Reverend William J. Mullen, Reverend J. M. Quinn, Reverend Bonaventure Piscapo, Reverend Lucian Monda, and Reverend M. J. Pekar. Father Griffin endeared himself to the hearts of his people. His Christ-like con- cern for all was manifest in his sincere interest in, and solicitude for, all his parish- ioners. He was a wise counsellor to those who sought his advice. Rigid and stern in his administration of right. Father Griffin was also gifted with a keen Irish wit. Simple pleasiues he thoroughly enjoyed. Fully cognizant of the fact that the strength of any parish is its children, Father Griffin concerned himself always with their welfare. Paramount among his achieve- ments in the parish was the building of St. Mary of the Motuit School. The corner lot on Grandview Avenue and Bigham Street having been procured. Father Griffin broke groimd for the new school on March 1, 1909. Within a year ' s time a beautiful two story white pressed brick building was ready for occupancy. The building, of a modified Romanesque style, is absolutely fireproof, practically no wood having been used in its construction. The spacious marble halls lined on one side with many large windows with ledges and facings of marble, and the wide marble staircases give a dignified and majestic appearance to the interior of the school. The St. Mary of the Mount Rectory — 1956 classrooms, large and commodious, are strictly according to state law and are con- ducive to study and learning. The purchase of the land together with the building costs of the school reached a total of one hundred fifteen thousand dollars. On Sunday afternoon, January 23, 1910, in the presence of practically every mem- ber of the parish, Bishop Canevin, assisted by twelve priests, dedicated the new school. Prior to the dedication ceremony. Bishop Canevin delivered an enlightening sermon entitled Christian Education. The impressive ceremony got under way about four o ' clock when four hundred members of the Holy Name Society, headed by the parish altar boys, walked in pro- cession from the church to the new school building where Bishop Canevin and the assisting clergy went to each of the classrooms and blessed them. As large as the new building was, it was not sufficiently large to accommodate the crowds that assembled to participate in the dedication, and many were unable to enter. After the formal ceremony of dedication, the proud parshioners inspected the building. On Monday, January 24, 1910, the school was officially opened with a High Mass celebrated by Father Griffin. The school was under the direction of the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary from Scranton, Pennsylvania. Provision had been made for four hundred children, but to the amazement of the pastor and sisters six hundred and thirty-five children reported for school on the opening day. If Father Griffin had had any misgivings alout building a school too large, they dis- appeared that memorable day. Because of this unexpected enrollment, it was necessary to add five sisters to the faculty. The first group of sisters to arrive from Scranton was accompanied by Mother M. Cyril, Superior-General of the community. With Sister M. Berchmans, their superi- or and principal, were the following sisters: Sisters M. Raymond, M. Angelica, M. Inviolata, M. Cornelia, M. Luigi, M. Maurice, M. Delphina, M. Augusta, Mary Ste- phen, M. DeNeri, M. Ferdinand, and M. Paulinus. The sisters received a cordial welcome on their arrival in Pittsburgh. Father Grif- fin and Father Dvmlea, the pastor of St. Malachy ' s, met them at the station. It was Father Dunlea, the brother of Sister M. Irene, I.H.M., who was instrumental in bringing the Immaculate Heart Sisters to Pittsburgh. The sisters were immediately conducted to their new convent home, a dwelling house adjoining the school. On entering the convent. Mother M. Cyril and the sisters knelt before the Sacred Heart statue and dedicated themselves and their work to the Divine Heart. Holy Mass was offered by Father Dunlea, and the sisters received Holy Communion for the first time in their new home. Significantly, the day of the sisters ' arrival was the First Friday of January.

Munster At its inception the school was organized as a grade school, but just one year after its opening, Father Griffin saw fit to add a two-year Commercial Department. Graduates from the school had no difficulty in securing positions with the various business firms of the city. To provide for those pupils who desired a more complete education than that offered by the commercial department. Father Griffin added the academic course of four years. Under the wise and efficient direction of Mother M. Cyril who, after the completion of her term of office as superior-general, had been assigned as principal of the school on the Mount, the growth and sticcess of the school were rapid. In 1917, just three years after St. Mary of the Mount High School was established, registration by the Bureau of Education was secured. The first academic class, graduated in 1918, were Daniel O. McFadden, J. Howard Devlin, J. Raymond O ' Donnell, Gladys Heg- ner, and Rosalia Krill. From the very beginning the pupils of St. Mary of the Mount School distinguished themselves in scholastic endeavors. For example, in 1924 the following write-up ap- peared in the Pittsburgh Catholic: ST. MARY OF THE MOUNT ADDS TO DIOCESE LUSTRE Children of Father Griffin ' s Paristi Capture Tliree Prizes in Hibernians ' Nation- wide Contest St. Mary of the Mount School, the pride of the big congregation of Father E. P. Griffin, Ph.D., Mt. Washington, winner of many scholarships and other prizes, has again added lustre to the Pittsburgh Diocese by capturing first, second and fifth prizes in the nation-wide contest for essays on Irish history initiated by the Ancient Order of Hibernians . . . Also, in 1924, the following headline prefaced a very laudatory article commending Mary Billante, a student at the Mount at that time: St. Mary of the Mount High School Girl 16 Wins First Prize for Girls in $18,000 Contest of Electric League of America Gets First Honors in More Than 4,000 Primers and Essays Turned in by School Children of the Pittsburgh Section.

Announcement of the victory came to Miss Billante in a letter from George T. Barrows, President of the Electric League of Pittsburgh, which began: Dear Miss Billante: We are pleased to inform you that you have won first prize for girls in the Better Home Lighting Contest recently conducted by the Electric League of Pittsburgh. In another letter Mr. Barrows wrote: I want to extend my heartiest congratidations on your success in winning a prize in the Better Home Lighting Contest. There were over four thousand contestants in this vicinity, so that your primer and essay had to be of particular merit to win a prize. Through the years the school has not waned in its scholastic rating but rather God ' s blessing upon the efforts of the zealous priests and sisters and the self-sacrificing parishioners is most apparent. For example, pupils of the Mount ' s 1956 graduating class, through competitive examinations opened to all the high schools of the city of Pittsburgh, received one full and two half scholarships to Duquesne University. One of the winners, Marilyn Hays, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hays of Amabell Street, received the highest rating of all those Avho took the examinations. This distinction merited for her not only a full tuition scholarship to the University but also the coveted General Motors scholarship which covers all expenses — tuition, board, books and fees. Half scholar- ships to the University were awarded to Greta Gilmartin, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. A. J. Gilmartin of Grandview Avenue and Paul Michel, son of Mr. and Mrs. Francis Michel of Homestead. May God continue to hold our school in the Palm of His Hand! Because of the increased enrollment and the addition of a four year high school cotirse, it was necessary for Father Griffin to apply to Marywood, the Motherhouse of the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, for more sisters. More sistei ' s, of course, necessitated more room and the convent that had served the sisters since 1910 now proved most inadequate. In 1914, Father Griffin was fortunate in being able to purchase through the serv- ices of a Mr. King, property across from the school. The house, known as The Cliff House was a very beautiful and attractive home owned by the Riehl family. Much renovating and remodeling was necessary before the sisters could move into their new convent. About two years later a new wing which provided a very lovely and spacious com- munity room and additional sleeping quarters for the sisters was added. Then in 1924, the Malloy Residence, just adjacent to the convent, was procured. The first floor of this hotise was used for the music department, while the second and third floors sup- plied more sleeping quarters to the ever-growing community of sisters. These two houses served as comfortable quarters for the sisters tmtil 1955 when both building? were razed to make way for the new and modern St. Mary of the Mount Convent and High School. When the sisters were established in their new convent at 710 Grandview Avenue, the former convent was converted into classrooms. These classrooms were used for all high school classes. This arrangement was most beneficial in relieving the over- crowded conditions of the grade school. However, the high school continued to grow; state requirements became more stringent. If St. Mary of the Mount were to main- tain its high scholastic prestige, further expansion was necessary. The difficulty was tentatively overcome by the ptnxhase of two portable buildings which vere erected on the space formerly used as the tennis courts. Both these buildings were used for fresh- men classrooms. CM £1! M O 0! o: M Z 2 Q 2 O u H V2 W O 2 H O 2 2 Champion Baseball Team 1909 Standing: T. Burke, pitcher; M. Burke, left field; M.

Today St. Mary of the Mount ranks among the leading high schools of the state and serves as an enduring monument to its founder, Father Griffin, and to the early parishioners of St. Mary of the Mount. Realizing that education must include the whole man, Father Griffin provided not only for the spiritual and intellectual welfare of his flock but, through the found- ing of the Mt. Washington Lyceum, both he and his assisting priests. Father S. J. Ren- son and Father W. J. Munster gave to their people the opportunity for physical development and social activity. The Lyceum was a society of the men of the parish and was controlled by a board of directors, ten in number, with Rev. Wm. J. Munster as its president. The follow- ing gentlemen were elected to serve as the first board of directors: Messrs. R. J. Phil- pott, John B. Sullivan, W. J. Higgins, E. J. Kappler, Milburne Sill, John J. Murray, Thos. C.

A fully equipped gymnasium permitted the Lyceum to conduct an athletic pro- gram on a larger scale than had ever been previously attempted. Track, basketball, ten- nis, hardball, and football teams vere organized. Under the leadership of Captain Jennings, a first class amatetu basketball team won the championship of the South Side League. For the not-so-athletic type the Lyceum boasted a billiard and pool room as well as a lounge and reading room. During the year, pool, billiard, chess, checker and euchre toiunaments provided many an evening of wholesoine pleasure. Cultural development was also a part of the Lyceum program which included literary discussions and series of lecttu ' es and debates. A well organized glee club off- ered opporttinities to those interested in singing. On May 25th and 26th, 1910, the glee club made its first public appearance to a delighted and appreciative audience. To furnish opportunities to those who had dramatic ability and dramatic aspira- tions, the Lyceum sponsored a very successful dramatic club. Among the club ' s pro- Mother M.

In an age when much time and talk are centered around the provision of recre- ational centers and yoiuh organizations as an antidote for juvenile waywardness, one cannot help but admire the foresight and loving solicitude of Father Griffin in pro- viding such recreational facilities for the sotils entrtisted to his care. In the final analysis, the Lyceimi did more than provide for the cultural, social, and physical 1956 — I Iav Crowning aftia !aHW ' y, N ' .;. - v development of the people. More importantly, it served as a strong bond which seemed to unite the parish in a close-knit relationship in the brotherhood of Christ. It was during Father Griffin ' s pastorate, too, that the Cadets, renowned and recognized by state and nation, were organized. Under the capable direction of Father Wliliam J. Minister, the young men of the parish were fortiniate in that they received a fine military training at a time when such training was to be of vital importance to them. In commendation for his fine work with the Mt. Wash- ington Cadets, Father Munster received the following letter from the War Depart- ment in Washington. WAR DEPARTMENT The Adjutant General ' s Office Washington March 23, 1917 Rev. W. J. Munster, St. Mary of the Mount Rectory, 407 Grandview Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Reverend dear Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 20th instant, with which you inclose clippings from the Mt. Washington News, together with eight post card photographs of different activities of the Mount Washington Cadets. Your patriotic efforts in affording boys military training is highly appreci- ated by the department. Kindly accept my thanks for the interest you manifest in this matter. Very respectfully, G. W. Reed, Adjutant General Priests and people of St. Mary of the Mount gave wholehearted support to the Cadets, and their reward was the glowing feeling of pride they experienced during the patriotic demonstrations (and there were many in those war years of 1917 and 1918) of the City of Pittsburgh, in which demonstrations the Mount Cadets played a conspicuously iinportant part. Unfortunately, Father Munster was forced to give up his strenuous priestly activity because of an illness resulting from his participation in World War I. After a life selflessly dedicated to God through his holy priesthood, and to his country in many military capacities other than that of his chaplaincy. Father St. Mary oi iiih.

Minister died, at the age of 46, at St. Mary of the Mount Rectory on January 24, 1925. He was buried with full military honors from St. Mary of the Mount Church on January 28. May his soul and the souls of all priests rest in peace! Besides Father Benson and Father Munster the following priests assisted Father Griffin: Reverend Bernard McGuigan (1919 - 1923), Reverend Peter J. Bernarding (1922 - 1924), Reverend Henry L. Immekus (1924 - 1937), Reverend Francis J. McCarter (1923 - 1936) and Reverend Thomas C. Brown (1923). Father Griffin lost no time in organizing the various Church societies. In fact, St. Mary of the Mount was one of the first parishes of Pittsburgh to have a Holy Name Society. Founded in 1909, the society consisted of four hundred and fifty three members in 1910. The first Holy Name officers, according to the Catholic Yearbook and Directory of the Pittsburgh Diocese were: president, J. B. Sullivan; vice-president, E. McAninch; treasurer, Robert Philpott; financial secretary, John Tighe; recording secretary, John Duffy; monitor, William Shields. The Holy Name Society is a potent factor in any parish. Its aim today as it was at the time of its birth in 1433 is one and the same — to make Jesus Christ better known and better loved. A body of men banded together under the banner of Christ and striving to promote respect and honor for Christ ' s Holy Name is bound to bring blessings on a parish. The annual picnics sponsored by the Holy Name Society at Southern Park and later at Olympia Park are delightfully happy memories for those parishioners of today who look back upon the good old days. The present flag pole which stands in the school yard was donated by the Holy Name Society. The beautiful flag Adiich the society also donated was unfurled with great pomp and ceremony on May 26, 1910, in the presence of the local post of the G.A.R., the local and visiting Holy Name Societies and 700 children from St. Mary of the Mount School. While the flag was given to the breeze, the air around the Mount reverberated with the singing of patriotic songs. Other societies in the Church from its early beginnings were the St. Vincent de Paul Society, founded in 1908 with Father Griffin as its spiritual director; the Altar and Rosary Society; the senior and junior Blessed Virgin Sodalities. All societies form an integral part of the parish and give glory to God. They contribute, in no small way, to the spiritual growth of a congregation and they assist the priests by sharing with them the burdens that necessarily attend the work involved in spreading Christ ' s Kingdom on earth. While St. Mary of the Mount was a mission of St. Malachy ' s the priests — Fathers Cosgrave, Neville and Tobin — resided at St. Malachy ' s Rectory. When Father McMahon became resident pastor, the parish rented a small frame house on Belonda Street. However, during the pastorate of Father Tobin, a hotise was pur- chased (supposedly by Father Tobin ' s family) and served as a Rectory imtil the present St. Mary of the Mount Church on Grandview Avenue vas built. The rec- tory occupied by Father O ' Connell was a small house next to the Church on Cirand- view Avenue. One can readily imagine its inadequacy when one realizes that it fit compactly between the Chtirch and the present rectory property. This, then, was the living quarters for the priests when Father Griffin came to the Mount in 1903. The Apostolate House on Ulysses Street was home to the priests who assisted Father Griffin in his Confraternity v ' ork while Father Griffin and his assistant, Father Benson, lived in the makeshift rectory. The steady growth of the parish required the help of another priest and Father Munster joined Father Griffin and Father Benson at St. Mary of the Motnit. So inadeqtiate was the rectory, that Father Munster was compelled to live at the Apostolate House. These imfavorable living conditions contintied until 1923 at which time Father Griffin completed negotia- tions (through a third party) for the purchasing of the Harper Estate, which estate adjoined the Church property. Work on the Harper home was begtm immediately, and in an incredibly short time the present comfortable rectory was ready for occupancy. Fathers Griffin, Benson and Munster gratefully took up residence in their new home. The old rectory was rented for a while, but in 1933, was torn down to make room for the present baptistry. Since St. Mary of the Mount played such a vital part in the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine and in the formation of the Apostolate, no history of the parish woidd be complete without a history of the Confraternity and the Apostolate. THE PITTSBURGH APOSTOLATE Prior to, and for a time, in conjtmction with his strenuous pastoral duties at St. Mary of the Mount, Father Griffin vas a great moving force behind the Apostolate in the diocese of Pittsbingh. In retrospect, let us glance at the life of this zealous priest of God who so generously emptied himself to become all things to all men. The son of Ed vard J. and Mary Keary Ciriffin, Father Griffin was born in Brooklyn, New York on October 4, 1863. Both his college and seminary studies were pursued at St. Vincent ' s College and Seminary in Latrobe, Pa. On July 13, 1888, he was ordained by Bishop Phelan and almost immediately began his priestly ministrations at St. John Baptist Church on 36th Street. After two years he was appointed as pastor of SS. Philip and James Church in Meyersdale, Pa. In 1891 Father Griffin, in accordance vith the wish of his Bishop assumed the Chaplaincy of St. Paul ' s Orphanage. This appointment also incltided the spiritual care of - ' prisoners of the Allegheny County Jail and of the Boys of Morganza Training School. During his Chap- laincy Father Griffin became associ- ated with the Reverend Walter Elliot, a noted Paulist missionary, in conducting missions for non- Catholics throughout the Pitts- burgh diocese. Although ill health from over- work forced Father Griffin to re- linquish his Chaplaincy and his mission vork, he never abandoned the idea of finding ways and means to reach out to the souls in outlying regions where there were no means of Catholic Instruction. After a short period of eight steps from Duquesne Heights to Carson Street months at St. Joseph ' s in North Oakland, Father Griffin regained his health and assumed the pastorate of St. Joseph ' s Parish in New Brighton. From New Brighton he came to St. Mary of the Mount in 1903. Through his missionary experiences with Father Elliot, Father Griffin was aware of the spiritual condition of the people residing in the remote sections of the widely- scattered Pittsburgh diocese vhere there vere neither Churches nor priests. Like a true apostle, he was desirous of bringing Christ to those remote regions. Shortly after becoming established at the Mount, Father Griffin conceived the idea of organizing a Pittsburgh Apostolate. The work of the Apostolate had been successfully organized by Father Elliot in Detroit, Michigan, and Father Griffin was confident that the same kind of missionary work could be carried out in the Pittsburgh diocese. In 1904, Father Griffin placed his well-drawn plans before Bishop Canevin, who gave wholehearted consent and lu-ged Father Griffin to execute his plans on a diocesan basis and to assume fidl responsibility for the organization as its first direc- tor. Thus, St. Mary of the Mount became the first home of the Apostolate and the house on 127 Ulysses St. became the headquarters for the missionary work of the diocese. The priests appointed to assist Father Griffin, Very Reverend William J. MiUlen and Reverend J. Quinn, made their residence at the place of the Apostolate Headquarters, which became known as i he Apostolate House. This building stands today next to the Church on Ulysses St. and is now used as the home of the custodian of the Church and the School. These first priests were soon to be joined by others and the Apostolate became a very active organization of secular priests giving missions throughout the diocese. To get an idea of the tremendous work accomplished by the Missionary Workers, we give here the contents of a public report which Father Griffin pre- sented on September 20, 1910. The report included the various missionary works that were accomplished from September, 1909, to July, 1910. The report stated that the year had been a most successful one and that the missionaries were justly proud of their 47 missions and 16, 652 confessions. Father regretted the fact that because of lack of funds the Apostolate was unable to give missions for more non-Catholics. In conducting the Catholic Missions, Father pointed out that each mission included rmong its spiritual exercises, an Hour ' s adoration before the Blessed Sacrament and a Holy Name Rally. As a result, ten Confraternities of the Holy Name were organized by the Apostolate during the year. The missionaries ' greatest consolation, the report continued, was the number of very splendid converts whom the priests of the Apostolate had received into the Church in that one year. Another great grace was the return to the Church of 1 1 8 schismatics. Because Father Griffin forsaw that the coming year 1910-1911 was to be a very demanding year for the Apostolate, he urged pastors desiring missions to make application for them early. Father concluded his report by announcing that the missionaries of the Apostolate were prepared to hear confessions in English, Ger- man, Italian, French, Polish, Hungarian and Lithuanian. z o p O u UJ Q Pi 02 UJ H U U C Workers — Wednesday Evening Parties Left to Right: John K.

Four year after the official organization of the Apostolate, the Missionary Con- fraternity of Christian Doctrine was organized with Father Griffin as its director. The Apostolate Hotise also became the headquarters for the Confraternity. Many parishioners took an active part in the Confraternity work, either through donating their time and service in the teaching of catechism in the outlying districts or through their contributions to help defray expenses. Seeing that the pressure of his parish work, together with the work of the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, was beginning to take its toll from Father Griffin, Bishop Canevin relieved him of his directorship of the Confraternity in 1916. With St. Mary of the Mount remaining as headquarters, Father Timothy Shea became the new director of the Missionary Confraternity of Christian Doctrine. Within a year Father Shea died and Father Lawless replaced him as director. Eight years later when Father Lawless became pastor of St . Mary of Mercy Church on Third Avenue and Ferry Street, St. Mary of Mercy became Head(|uarters for the Confraternity and remains as such today. Thotigh no longer director of the Ccnfraternity. Father Griffin remained vitally interested in its work and gave it his loyal support and his loving cooperation. The love and esteem in which Father Griffin was held by all Confraternity workers from their director. Father La less, down to the newest lay recruit teacher vas beautifully expressed by Father La less on the death of Father Griffin. The following account appeared in the Pittsburgh Catholic of December, 1930: Father GrifFin, a noble, priestly character, a man of God, a real friend and booster of our great lay apostolate of the Diocese of Pittsburgh, has breathed his last. Bodily, he is no more. But his deeds and accomplishments will continue to live on. The history of our organization shows that our success in the beginning- was due mostly to the great interest shown by Father GrifFin in the efforts of the few lay workers who volunteered their time for religious instructions in the mining camps. It was in June, 1908, that the first class was opened in Cecil by an individual who little thought that that action was the seed or foundation of the present wonderful and noble Missionary Confraternity of Christian Doctrine. Several men and women joined in the movement and within a short time a number of classes were being conducted. After this humble start, without direction or authority, God led this small band of lay missionaries to Father Griffin, then Superior of the Pittsburgh Apostolate, in order that every action woidd be under the guidance of Holy Mother Church, through his advice. For some time the only name given to the organization was the Lay Apostolate, but later when the work and accomplishments were brought to the attention of Bishop Canevin by Father Griffin, the work was not only officially approved biU the name of Missionary Confraternity of Christian Doctrine was given by Bishop Canevin. Under Father Griffin ' s guidance those first laborers were blessed with a most earnest and zealous spirit: the number of missions increased to aboiu thirty-five, while the number of workers was around seventy at the end of 1916. In all these years the greatest problem to be solved was diat of finances. For soine years, practically the only support of the organization was the money which the few teachers collected and the contributions of the members of St. Mary of the Mount parish, who had formed in bands of ten or more and woidd contribute ten cents or twenty-five cents per month. In 1916 when Bishop Canevin saw fit to appoint a regular director of the organization. Father Griffin never lost sight of the doings of the great diocesan Lay Apostolate. Every year quite a number of lay workers from St. Mary of the Mount Parish are represented in oin- organization doing their share in the mining camps for the cause of Christ. May his soul rest in peace. Of the 42 years of Father Griffin ' s priestly life, 27 of them vere spent at St. Mary of the Mount. Under his ' ise and kindly guidance the parish gre v both spiritually and materially and at the time of his death, St. Mary of the Mount was numbered among the largest and most flourishing parishes in the diocese. The school had the largest enrollment of any Catholic school in the diocese. Despite the expenditures for school, convent, rectory, and property botight with a view for further expansion, the parish was completely free from debt when Father Griffin died so unexpectedly. Although Father had been in ill health for about three years, his death, caine as a severe shock to his beloved parishioners. On November 19, 1930, after officiating at the opening of the annual Forty Hours Devotion, Father Griffin was stricken and was unable to take further part in the ceremonies. The last time he offered Mass in his Church was on Siniday, November 30, 1930. Since his condition steadily worsened, an operation was imminent. He was removed from the rectory to St. Joseph ' s Hospital on December fifth, and the operation was performed on Deceinber tenth. For one week after the operation he apparently responded favorably, but on Wednesday of the following week, he suffered a relapse and grew gradually weaker. Death relieved him of his suffering on Sunday, December 21, 1930. Father Misklow, Chaplain of St. Joseph ' s Hospital at the time, administered the last sacraments. Mourned by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Father Griffin, sur- rounded by his grief-stricken flock, was buried from the church he loved so well on Friday, December 26, 1930. Right Reverend Hugh C. Boyle, pontificated at the Solemn Funeral Mass. Reverend William C. Kelty, pastor of St. Philip ' s Church in Crafton and a classmate of Father Griffin, and Reverend John Faughnan, pastor of St. Rosalia ' s Church, were deacons of honor. The assistant priest was Very Rev- erend Monsignor William J. McMullen, Rector of St. PatU ' s Cathedral. Reverend James L. Quinn, pastor of the Chvirch of the Resurrection, Brookline, and Very Reverend S. J. Benson, pastor of St. Mary ' s Church, Freeport, were deacon and sub- deacon respectively. Reverend James Garrahan of St. Paul ' s Cathedral was master of ceremonies. As his body was borne from the Church, not only himdreds of members of the parish who had known and loved him for 27 years, but also throngs of non-Catholic residents of the Mount stood in a cold December rain to pay their last homage and respect to their beloved Father Griffin. The pall bearers were: Robert Philpott, Augtist Btich, Thomas P. Whalen, Franklin P. McQuade, Edward J. Schroth, John B. Sullivan. Burial took place in the priests ' plot of St. Mary ' s Cemetery. 1931 - 1952 From the time of Father Griffin ' s death in December, 1930 luitil July, 1931, Father McCarter, who had succeeded Father McGuigan as curate, acted as adminis- .

With Father Immekus contributing his share in shouldering the responsibilities of the parish, Father McCarter carried on until a new pastor was appointed. On July 9, 1931, Reverend Thomas C ' Reagan Rea fulfilling his obedience to His Excellency Hugh C. Boyle, came to St. Mary of the Moimt parish to serve as its seventh pastor. Prior to his appointment to the Moi nt, Father Rea had spent thirty-seven and a half years in the priesthood, years of zealous and fruitful work. Worn frail by long years of arduous Christiike labor. Father Rea, nevertheless, assumed the responsibility of a large cily parish with characteristic zeal and un- daunted courage. Just one year after Father Rea ' s coming, the parish experienced a favorable growth by the building of the section known as Chatham Village. Built by the Buhl Foundation, Chatham Village is a demonstration in modern urban housing, and because of its established success, hrs been widely copied by builders in all parts of the country. Numbered among ihe Chatham Village Community are many parishioners of St, Mai ' y of the Mount. St. Mary of the Mount owes a debt of gratitude to Father Rea for many things, many of which are recorded only in heaven; however, concerning his interest in the school — in the pupils and in the sisters — there are tangible evidences. In order to have the high school classes compactly housed, and to do away with the portable buildings that seemed to have outgrown their utility, Father Rea set about the task of adding a third floor to I he school. Work was begun on June 22, 1933, and so efficiently was the constructic n carried on that all work was completed and the school ready for the fall opening. Thus, on Monday, September 11, 19? 3, the Sisters and twelve hundred pupils began their new term in the remodeled :nd enlarged fireproof building which now contains 20 classrooms. The classrooms are 23 by 23 ft. with a 12 foot ceiling height, providing the rec}uired cubicle air content for each pupil. Daylight is derived from the left side, the glass area being 20% of the floor space. The lighting, the length and width of the rooms, the acoustic partition tile and acoustic plaster — all are conducive to good concentrated work and study. Each room is provided with thermostatic temperature control. Slate blackboards with tackboards above extend around the walls upon every available space. The floors of the classrooms are of select Michigan maple, the corridors and stairways have terrazzo floors. jlJUI i |tt • S17 p ?| ,Js5 M W ' l ' J B E m f I K ' W Wi ' - 1 ■ uKIpi si |JK gl lp First Officers of Women ' s Guild Mrs. Catherine Edwards, Mrs. Dorothy Weinheimer, Mrs. Mary Testa, and Mrs. Esther Murray. 1956 Guild Officers Mrs. Vera Ebbert, Mrs. Mary Bolick, Mrs. Alice Gaffey, and Mrs. Mary Testa.

Reverend Michael Mclnerney, O.S.B. of Belmont Abbey, who drew the plans for the remodeling, preserved the character of the original building designed by the famous Catholic architect, John T. Comes. The total expendittire, including the renewing and modernizing of the entire heating system for the whole school, together with cleaning, painting, and repairing throughout came within the appropriation of $50,000 designated by Most Reverend Hugh C. Boyle. Father Rea had a fatherly interest in the school and the affairs of the school. During the war years the pupils of the school made a phenomenal showing in the sale of U. S. war bonds. The sale totaled the magnificent sum of $477,804.64. Father Rea was naturally very pleased and very proud of his school ' s patriotic zeal. Priests, sisters and pupils were happy to hear Ed Sullivan announce on a national broad- cast that St. Mary of the Mount School ' s sale of Bonds exceeded anything of its kind Characteristically, Father Rea, taking no credit to himself, attributed the tremen- dous success of the drive to Sister M. Evelyn, I.H.M. (R.I. P.), who, in her unassum- ing and very efficient manner managed the campaign. A cherished plaque com- memorating the event is still on display in the school. Its inscription reads: To the loving memory of Sister M. Evelyn Hart, I.H.M., whose untiring leadership in the sale of war bonds by the pupils of St. Mary of the Mount School during V orld Var II gained national recognition, we respectfully dedicate this plaque. Beneath these - vords a metal plate is einbedded, and on it are inscribed these words: Ambulance, Field, presented to the United States Army by St. Mary of the Mount School through the purchase of war bonds. This metal plate was taken from an abandoned field ambulance along the road near Grenoble, France by P.F.C. William Coleman of 153 Mulberry Way, Pitts- btngh. When he rettirned from overseas, he presented the plate to Father Rea. Girls Basketball Team 1955 Student Managers (the girls in uniform): Mary Ellen Merkel, Patricia McNierney, Mary Jo IcKenna.

Passing of an Old Landmark Erecting A New Temporary Convent — 1955-56 Because of the tremendous success oE the sale of bonds by St. Mary of the Mount School, the War Department was able to purchase the following pieces of war equipment: one B-17 G. Flying Fortress, four Flying Jeeps or Grasshopper Planes, seven fully equipped Land Jeeps, Life floats, thirty-five Field Ambulances, five $3,000 Hospital Units and Medical Equipment valued at $2,000. During the war years it vas deemed necessary to abandon practically all athletic activities; however, as soon as reasonably possible after the war, Father Rea re- organized the athletic program. In no time the Mount had one of the finest football teams in the diocese, if not the finest. Baseball and basketball were also resumed with hearty vigor. In 1948 Father Rea set to work to redecorate the church. It had now served for a long period of 52 years and naturally, was in need of repairs and redecorating. Father Rea and his ever cooperative congregation put forth every effort at this time to make God ' s House as beautiful as their means would permit. As one entered the church after the work was completed the first thing that attracted the eye was the clean white beauty of the main altar enhanced by the rich A Living Rosary — Culmination of a Novena Conducted by Father O ' Connell, C.S.C. red velvet reredos which hangs in graceful folds behind the altar and reaches the floor where it seems to merge with deep red carpet that covers the sanctuary floor. All statuary and the stations of the cross are now in soft beige tones rather than the former multicolors. This beige effect gives the statues a rather stone-sculptured appearance. Although the garb of the statuary is no longer in colors, there is a profuse display of vivid littirgical coloring elsewhere. Green beige tones form the background of the sanctuary. The side walls of the sanctuary were painted to a certain height in panel design, the background color of the panels being blue. The duoformed crosses and the fleur-de-lis in a radiant golden hue adorn the panels. The two stately pillars, one on each side of the main arch of the sanctuary, vere redecorated only partially. The artist, - vishing to retain something of the original exotic design of the columns, painted portions of them with swirling green bands ornamented in gold. The combination of the old and the new is very picturesque. The old wooden altar rail was replaced by one of exquisitely beautiful lesina marble. The center gates are of ornamental wrought iron. The ceiling of the church was painted in a gray-blue, and the ceiling ribs in ivory. The underside of the arches high above the pews were painted in alternate red and blue panels with gold dual formed cross ornamentation. Both the colors and the symbols used in the redecorating process have liturgical significance— blue typifies heavenly wisdom; red is symbolical of love and green of hope. The spiritual significance of the fleur-de-lis is that of purity while the cross symbolizes sacrifice. Although far from well at this time Father Rea devoted much time and careful thought to this vast project. The conferences regarding the work were very fatigu- ing to him, but with characteristic fervor and determination he saw the work to its successful completion. At this time and on many other occasions, Father Rea expressed his gratitude to his mo assistants, Father Sabinash and Father Cost, for their priestly zeal and their generous willingness in assuming responsibilities. Father Sabinash ' s sudden and untimely death on January 1, 1949 was a shock to both priests and people. Three weeks later on January 27, 1949, Reverend Martin Connolly was assigned to replace Father Sabinash. In no time Father Connolly won the hearts of both the young and the old. Father Rea ' s physical condition, which was never too good, began to worsen and Bishop John Dearden, wishing to relieve him of the weighty responsibilities of such an active parish, appointed Father Thomas Sullivan as pastor of St. Mary of the Mount and named Father Rea pastor emeritus. Feeling that he required medical care and not wishing to be a burden to anyone. Father Rea took up residence at the Maguire Home for a while. Later he was moved to Beaver Falls Hospital where he is now under the tender and watchful care of the good Sisters of Charity. That God may grant his all the blessings and graces merited by his priestly life, is the fervent prayer of the priests and the people of St. Mary of the Mount. Catholics on the Mount are accustomed to living by two symbols — the Golden Triangle that is their city and the Golden Cross that is their Church. The glittering lights of our downtown, the City of Man, could easily become the more glamorous and fascinating spec tacle. But we have among us one, who by his priestly zeal and Chnstlike demeanor, is doing everything in his power to keep us safe in the City of God — our pastor. Reverend Thomas A. Sullivan. He is the son of the late Thomas A. and Margaret Nixon Sullivan and is one of six children. Father was born in Pittsburgh on July 1, 1902. His personal odyssey, during his half century of life, includes elementary schooling at St. Rosalia ' s paro- chial school, preparatory and college training at Duquesne University, and his prep- aration for the priesthood at St. Vincent ' s Seminary. He was ordained by Bishop Hugh C. Boyle on June 16, 1929. His first assignment was to Holy Rosary Church in Homewood where he spent seventeen fruitful years in the vineyard of Christ. Before coming to St. Mary of the Mount, Father also served as pastor of St. Aloysius Church in Dimbar from 1946 to 1948, and of St. Michael ' s Chinch in Elizabeth, Pennsylvania from 1948 until his appointment as pastor of St. Mary of the Mount in June, 1952. The tremendous responsibility of caring for some seven thousand souls fell to Father Sullivan and his assistant, Father Martin Connolly, as Father Her- bert Cost was at this time transferred from St. Mary of the Mount to St. Laying the Cornerstone for the New High School and Convent — April, 1956 ' 4 Joseph ' s Church. Mount Oliver. Father John McDowell, then assistant Superinten- dent of Schools, was in residence at St. Mary of the Mount and offered his daily Mass here, but the strenuous demands made on him by his school duties, naturally pre- vented his being able to assist in the work of the parish. This condition continued until Jtine, 1953 when Rev. J. Donald O ' Neil came to St. Mary of the Mount. Among Father O ' Neil ' s many duties is that of supervising principal of the school, an office that is very demanding and time consuming. Later in 1953 Father Joseph Bryan came to the Mount to replace Father Connolly who was assigned to St. John the Baptist Church in Monaca. On June I G, 1955 Father McDowell left the Mount to take up residence in Sacred Heart Parish in East Liberty. Since his coming to the Moinit, Father SiUlivan has impressed all by his qtiietly serene and deeply spiritual manner. He is a priest who is both a contemplative and doer of The Word. With his characteristic perspective of first things first , Father Sullivan ' s first con- centration was on the spiritual. Revived emphasis on the use of Liturgical music, and encouragement towards a fidler and personal participation of the faithful in the Divine Drama of Calvary, and his appeal for daytime adoration of the Blessed Sacrament are external fragmentary evidences of Father ' s interest in the spiritual growth of the souls entrusted to his care. Like his predecessors, Father Sidlivan ' s chief interest, too, is the children of the parish over whose spiritual and sectdar instruction he keeps vatchful vigil. The overcrowded conditions in the grade school are of paramoimt concern to Father Sullivan. One of his first official acts as pastor was the renovating of a room in the basement of the school so as to provide another classroom for the second grade. This, of coinse, required another teacher. Althotigh the sisters were willing to teach double sessions, Father would not permit it and generously and solicitously hired another lay teacher. Looking into the fiuure Father foresaw that, within a few years, the present school btiilding vould be sufficiently large for the grade school only. Thtis, he knew that the construction of a new high school in the near future vas of absoliue neces- sity. The urgency of a new convent for the sisters vas apparent after Father made a toiu through the two houses that had served as living cjtiarters for the sisters dur- ing past years. Before formidating any definite plans for building, Father first tackled the financial problem. WithotU the cooperation of the good people of the parish, St. Mary of the Moiuit coidd never have grown materially as it had since its early beginnings. Encouraged Annual Banquet for Various Church Organizations Speakers ' Table by past records, Father Sullivan presented the gigantic task that lay before them — the building program. Characteristically the people responded to Father ' s appeal. The envelope system for the Sunday collections was revised, and in an incredibly short time, the Sunday collections boomed. Father assured his people that if the collections would continue, that the expenses of the parish could well be taken care of. The next step, financially, was a drive to raise money for the expansion of the parish buildings. The response was good. Explaining to his people that he was only custodian of the ftmds. Father Stillivan periodically made a report on the financial standing of the parish. Openly and sincerely, he assured them that this first drive would not be the last, but rather the beginning of appeals to raise money to further the growth of the parish. The original plan provided the renovrtion of the convent first. This vork was started in 1953 and the house at 714 Grandview Avenue was made habitable and comfortable for the sisters ' return in September of that year. By the follo ving Sep- tember Father hoped to have the large house on 710 Grandview made equally comfortable. However, man proposes and God disposes. Father was assured that, in the long run, it vould be cheaper to build a new convent than to try to restore the old Cliff House . Disappointed, but not discouraged, Father Sullivan began to formulate other plans. These plans included the building of a new convent and high school on the site where the two convent houses stood. The first step towards the furthering of plans was the purchasing of the Hill homestead and the renting of the newly remodeled home of Mrs. Helen Knee as temporary living quarters for the sisters. And so, in Jtme of 1955, the wrecking crew arrived to dismantle and demolish the old convent, thus causing nostalgic memories in the minds of old parishioners and sisters alike. After considering bids from various contractors of the city. Father Sullivan and the members of the Church committee awarded the contract for construction to F. J. Busse Co., whose bid for the work was an estimated $598,591.71. The archi- tects, Marlier and Johnstone, after many hours spent in constiltation with Father Sullivan submitted the plans for two separate btiildings rather than a combined school and convent. Our new high school is designed to accommodate fotu himdred ptipils. In addi- tion to the eight typical classrooms, specially equipped rooms provide for instruc- tions in typing, sewing, cooking, the sciences and art. There is an ample library, and a room for atidio-visual instruction which will also accommodate limited assemblies. ' 4 % All study and recitation classrooms are lighted from the preferred direction south of east. The classrooms thus have the benefit of sunshine during the early hoius of the day. By a happy coincidence this aiTangement also makes available to all classrooms, without sacrifice in orientation, the breath-taking view across the city and up the Monongahela River Valley. Sharing the site of the high school is the new convent. Excepting that the sisters may enter the school corridors directly from the convent, the structures are com- pletely separated. The site plan arrangement provides separate outdoor recreation areas for the occupants of each building, screened from each other, and both courts screened from Grandview Avenue. Needless to say, those using the landscaped courts may enjoy the view across North Hills and down the Ohio River Valley. Designed by Marlier and Johnstone, Architects, the buildings are of steel frame and masonry. Fireproof construction, they are designed in the Contemporary man- ner. The exterior brick and stone trim match the old school across the street and thus indicate their relationship. But the new building is not a copy of the old. It incorporates the new window-wall technique wherein steel and glass replace the old weighty wall areas of masonry between windows. In addition to the added interest in contrasting textures of brick, steel and glass this new technique provides an opportunity to enhance the exterior design with contrasting colors. The introduction of strong exterior color, in turn, invites such decoration as the colored ceramic panel and painted metal cross adjacent to the main entrance. It seemed becoming, ho ve ' er, to apply this lively treatment to the school only. The same kind of design approach is used for interiors. For example, brick walls, laid in a decorative design, are used in the main lobby. It creates a study room of stone, brick, quarry, tile and metal as a transition to the more customary materials in the rooms beyond. This is characteristic of the work in Contemporary design which, among other things, adds interest to buildings by what might be called an architectural change in pace . Literally, it is a change in texture, color and combination of materials for the sake of animation in design. Obviously, the possible combinations are infinite but usually cost enters as one of the considera- tions and tends to establish limits. Within the areas of instruction, materials and equipment used are those cur- rently considered most appropriate for the various purposes. Where several possible methods or materials might have been used, the final choice was made for reasons of cost or durability or ease of future servicing or maintenance.

If mean and cramped quarters in drab surround- ing will dull the spirit of teachers and pupils alike, may we not be justified in expecting opposite reaction? Truly, few schools in this city or any other city enjoy as commanding a site as the new St. Mary of the Mount High School and Convent. Few excel in standards of physical plant. The dedication of this school and convent is a memorable day for Father Sullivan, his assistants. Fathers O ' Neil and Bryan, for the loyal members of the parish and for the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart. It is the omega of a dream come true and alpha of great things to come. May its completion bring greater honor and glory to God. With justifiable pride in a work well done. Father StiUivan and his people are not content to add finis to their parish ' s expansion, but both priest and people are looking to the future in terms of a parish hall and gymnasiimi to provide the means for the physical, social and culttual development of the jiarishioners. Ever alert and anxiotis to the needs of his Hock, Father Sullivan not only has given encouragement and support to the existing Church organizations, but he has been the moving force behind the inatiguration of the Women ' s Guild. The purpose of the gtiild is t- vofold: to provide an outlet for the energies and enthusiasms of the women of the parish, and to give them an opportiuiity of active participation in the furthering of parish projects. From the very beginning the response to Father Sidlivan ' s suggestion was heartening. At the first meeting in November, 1952, one hinidred women met in the school atiditorium and elected as their first officers the following women: Mrs. Robert Edwards, president; Mrs. Vincent Testa, vice-president; Miss Dorothy Doyle (Mrs. John Weinheimer), secretary; Mrs. Charles Murray, treasurer. These same officers were reelected the following year and capably lead the activities of the guild until 1954. Varied and sundry are the responsibilities assumed by the Women ' s Gtiild. Immediately following its organization, the women launched a series of money- raising projects destined to benefit their church. Certain funds were ear-marked for the building fund and for the improvement of the living conditions of the Sisters. The proceeds from spaghetti dinners, bake sales, bazaars, and fashion shows have greatly augmented the parish ftmds. Because of their spirit of selflessness and generosity, the women of the guild also find time for mending and making priestly vestments and altar linens. On the first Sunday of each month the guild members receive Holy Communion in a body. Undoubtedly, it is their faithfulness in this matter which gives them the zeal to assume and to see to a successful completion so many worthwile endeavors. The same enthusiasm that launched the guild in 1952 is still prevalent today, under the present competent guild officers: Mrs. Daniel Ebbert, president; Mrs. Peter Bolich, vice-president; Mrs. Thomas Gaffey, secretary; and Mrs. Vincent Testa, treasurer, the gtiild continues its fine work. Since 1952 the guild membership has increased one hundred per cent and is now a imit of the Diocesan Coimcil of Catholic Women.

As in all undertakings with a worthy objective, the guild also supplies for its members a satisfactory outlet for social tendencies. God must indeed love the mem- bers of the guild for He, Himself, has told us that He (God) loveth a cheerful giver. As in any history of a parish, so, too, in this one, the historian is fully cognizant that his recordings cannot possibly include all the contributing factors that went into the making of Saint Mary of the Mount parish. Those factors and the good people w ho were responsible for them, although unkno vn to the vriter of this book, are recorded by the Divine Recorder and both deeds and doers wall be re- warded by Him in His own good time.

THE ALUMNI The first graduates from Saint Mary of the Mount High School in 1912 formed the nucleus of one of the finest High School Alumni Associations. This little band of twelve members has gro-wn to the almost unbelievable number of t vo thousand five hundred members who today are proud to hail as their Alma Mater — Saint Mary of the Mount High School.

Tradition had to be scrapped, and the banqtiets moved on to a hotel. The pages of Altnnni history proudly record the launching of Tlie Aliunni News, the formation of a luncheon club, which met each Wednesday in Kaufmann ' s Dining Room, the intense debates of the Alumni Forum, the trip to the Chicago Century of Progress , the Moonlight Excursion , the famous Mile of Pennies which made possible the opening of a bank account for Ali mini Hall . This Mile of Pennies eventually reached the ten thousand dollar mark and was promptly invested in bonds. Recently the Alumni generously ttuned over to Father Sullivan their entire bank accotint to be used toward the new school. Too, each year the Altnnni furnish awards, amotmting to sixty dollars, to individual graduates vho do outstanding Tvork in Latin, English, Science and Mathematics, Typing, Stenography and for the highest general average in the Academic Department. And to the grad- uates in general, the Alumni present the annual Alumni Banquet at which event the new graduates are welcomed as fidl-fledged members of St. Mary of the Mount Alumni. Through class campaigns to raise money to help pay for the magnificent building we are dedicating today, the members of the Alumni have played their part in assisting their beloved pastor. Father Sullivan, to ' take his dream out of the shadow and make it a reality. From the ranks of the Alumni have gone many devoted sons and daughters to consecrate their lives to God ' s service in the priesthood and in the sisterhood. Others have made their mark in business, in industry and the professional fields. Miltary records list names of members of St. Mary of the Movnit Alunuii who gave their lives to their country.

SISTERS, SERVANTS OF THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY As with the mustard seed which indeed is the smallest of all the seeds; but when it gro vs up it is larger than any herb and becomes a tree ... so, too, with the congregation of religious teachers kno vn as Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. From the tiny seedling planted so zealously more than a century ago, the community has grown and expanded until its branches reach out to the borders of our country and beyond. The story of this fruitful activity is a story of implicit trust and confidence in God, Who, as of old, uses the weak and lowly to accomplish His work. Impelled by the dire need of providing religious instruction for the Catholic settlers in and around Monroe, Michigan, Father Louis Florent Gillet, a Belgian missionary of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, made earnest efforts to procure teachers from the then-existing sisterhoods in Europe. After his unsuc- cessful attempts to transport sisters to care for the needs of the people vho vere the objects of his zealous ministry, he determined to establish a community of American origin. That the blessing of God -was on his vork is attested by the fact that from the poor log-cabin convent that housed the three original members the congregation has spread and increased until it now supports three separate Motherhouses from which more than four thousand sisters help to carry on the work for souls. A hurried glance at the ecclesiastical map of the United States of America cannot overlook three Motherhouses of the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, respecti cly located in Monroe, Michigan, West Chester, Penn- sylvania, and Scranton, Pennsylvania. From these Motherhouses, during the greater part of the past century, have gone forth thousands of educators and social workers, fashioned according to the pattern of the mind and heart of Christ and His Immaculate Mother, and dominated by one supreme motive — to win souls for Christ and to widen the frontiers of Christ ' s Kingdom on earth. Here then, in brief, is the story. The Congregation of the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary vas founded in November 1845, by the Reverend Lotiis Florent Gillet, C.Ss.R., in order to provide religiotis education for the chil- dren liviirg in the vicinity of Monroe, Michigan, where the first convent was founded. The object of the Congregation is twofold: the sanctification of its members, and the education of youth and preparation of childreir and adtilts for the reception of the sacraments. The educational activities of the Congregation began ' ith the establishment of the Community for almost at once the Sisters took children into their log-cabin convent to impart religious instruction. Shortly after, their first school was formally opened. This school grew rapidly and wi h it the reputation of the sisters as com- petent teachers. During the early years the gro vth of the newly formed community was slow but steady. Originally known as Sisters of Providence (although placed under the patron- age of Our Lady of the Iminaculate Conception) the commtmity was given its pres- ent title, Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary , in 1847, the year in vhich the decree naming Mary Immaculate the Patroness of the United States was confirmed. In 1858 this small band of pioneering souls made an attempt to carry their religious and educational activities beyond the Michigan territory to the Diocese of Philadelphia. Owing to the interest and efforts of the saintly Bishop of Philadelphia, John Nepomucene Neumann, C.Ss.R., the sisters established their second foimda- tion, this one in Pennsylvania in 1859. When the diocese of Philadelphia was divided in 1868, the newly erected See of Scranton was its offshoot with Right Reverend William O ' Hara as bishop. Bishop O ' Hara wished to have a separate foimdation of the sisters in his diocese and, as a result, the branch kno vn as the Scranton foundation was formed in 1 87 1 . At that time twelve sisters elected to stay in Scranton to form the new Mother- house. Since that day, eighty five years ago, the pioneer band of twelve sisters has increased and multiplied until, at the present writing, there are approximately ten hundred and seventy sisters. These sisters are engaged in schools and institutions throughout the United States from Oregon on the west coast to New Jersey on the east and from North Carolina in the south to Rhode Island in the New England states. Besides the original work of teaching, the sisters also conduct orphanages, a day nursery, and two hospitals, including a training school for ntirses. From the Motherhouse at Scranton, teachers are supplied to Marywood College, four central high schools, twenty five combined elementary and secondary schools, sixty elementary schools, and seven kindergarten and catechetical centers. During the summer months the sisters conduct religious vacation schools, usu- ally in cotmtry places where there is but slight opportimity for religious instruction and where the children coidd not otherwise be prepared for the reception of the Sacraments or instructed in the essentials of religion. It was from this last foundation that Father Griffin requested sisters for his new school in 1910. Since then the sisters have labored zealously and devotedly in our parish in their efforts to make Christ better known, loved, and served. In return, and as a small token of gratittide, this parish has given forty-four of its daughters to the Scranton Sisters, Servants of tlie ImmactUate Heart of Mary. We confidently trust that the ntimber will grow steadily throtigh the years as our ex- pression of appreciation for those who have spent and been spent among us.
