Parish Notes.
Twenty-six years ago the sisters OF
the Good Shepherd came to Denver and
established a house for orphaned and
neglected children. For twehty-siA
years they have labored zealously In
behalf of the thousands that have been
committed to their care during that
time.
Twenty-six years ago Denver was q
much smaller city than it is today. Inc
work of the Sisters of the Good Shep-
herd grew with the city. Addition after
addition was made to the original build

story buildings) were secured. But
even these are found wholly inadequate
TO meet the growing demands, and the
Sisters are forced to begin at the Sery
bottom of the ladder again. But the in
domitable zeal that enabled them to
surmount the difficulties Of twenty
years ago still fills the hearts OF the
Sisters. and trusting in the Providence
Of God and the generosity of the people
of Colorado, they have begun the erec-

Generous friends have never been
wanting by the House of the Good

in the present necessity. Those of little
wealth, as well as those whom God has
bounteously blessed, will give accord
ing to their means: and il is to be hoped
that when the new home is completed
the good Sisters viii not be hampered
in their noble work by being forced to
carry a surdensome debt.
