Fair for the Benefit of st. Johns Csnrc

Fair for the Benefit of ST. Johns Church
The ladies' fair for the benefit of st. John
| church, row in process Of erection on Dry
AIDES street, is still progressing favorably
and it is expected that the result will be
large augmentation of the funds for finish
ing the splendid ecclesiastical structure, fol
which the Catholic population Of that por
ton of the First District is indebted to the
untiring energy and unfagging religious
zeal of the Reverend Father Jeremiah Moy
nihau.
To those who have resided many
years in New Orleans. and are conse.
quentiy acquainted with the rise and
progress OF the many institutions
and organizations in our midst, the history
of st. Johns church appears like a pleasing
romance. More than quarter of a century
ago two Catholic priests, recently from
Ireland. arrived in New Orleans. They
were brothers, both young men, and all the
energy of their young manhood was de-
voted to the Church to which they had
dedicated their lives, and in whose priest
hood they were enrolled.
They were strangers in the country. and
YET IL WiS iot ~ strange ldilu 10 them. LOT IL
abOunded with the work to which they had
dedicated their lives and all the faculties
with which God had endowed them. They
separated, and for TIE present we follow
the one who made the southwestern portion
OF the city the scene OF lis labors. As the
population WAS sparse i'll the quarter of the
city where Father jeremiah set himself to
his work, the buildings We're few and far
between. while uupaved thoroughtares,
Astounding in mud whenever it raned.
rendered increase OF population slow and
uncertain.
But there was a quiet energy and force of
will in the Young Irish priest that would
not have turned back from far worse obSta-
cles than these Unpromsing as the pros
pect appeared. the man who had devoted
his manhood to his beloved church never
blenched. In short time people We're sur
prised and gratihed to see a comlnodious
church arise which, in no long time. was
crowded with worshperS. Soon a substan-
tial schoOlhOuse was erected, instructors
competent and thoroughly qualified were
engaged in the work OF teaching the multi
tudes OF youth who thronged within the
walls, and so the work went on.
The multiplied population OF the neigh
borhood. and the increasing religious wants
flee than the one which had been for SO
many years the tabernacle of the devout.
The energy that had accomplished all the
previous work was equal to this, and be-
hold. the church of st. John is rearing its
stately walls, destined, when completed. to
transcend any place OF religious worship
tnat New Orleans yet contains. Who
would not feel hCnorcd III contributing to
this work !
