SILVER LAKE.

In company with Father Jacobs of this
city We one day this week visited the con-
vent at Silver Lake few miles outside
the city. There are at this place three fine
brick buildings, the convent, the church
and the parsonage. The convent is quite
an imposing structure built on an eleya-
ton at little distance from the beauti-
ful sheet of water known as Silver Lake.
From its windows the blue waters of
Lake Michigan can be seen, pierced by
the point of land which juts out to the
south. Back of the convent is grove,
the ''primeval forest" improved by the
taste of man, and well supplied with
rustic seats. The interior gives evidence
of the most assiduous attention to clean
illness andesthetic culture.
The church and parsonage, though not
of large dimensions, are models Of arch
itectural beauty, and have all the advan
tages of beautiful location. The parish
numbers thirty eight families. Father
Joseph Fessler, for long time the of
ficiating clergyman of the parish of
Manitowoc, being the pastor.
In the convent there are sixty eight
sisters including the candidates. Here
they are prepared TO teach school and
taught to care for the sick. The excel
lent work done by the sisters of charity
during the dire extremity Of the southern
people last summer, raises instruction of
this kind to the highest plane of benef-
cence. The sisters who receive instruc-
ton in this convent take charge of
parochial schools in Wisconsin, Illinois
and Ohio. The convent also cares for
destitute orphans, at present there are
but two in the institution.
Rev. Joseph Fessler began the work
of erecting these buildings in the year
1873. His excellent business capacity is
best shown in the success which attended
his efforts as evidenced by the splendid
buildings at Silver Lake. He proposes
to enlarge the convent as soon us bis
means will permit, and to labor to ex-
tend its influence.
