DIOCESAN BOUNDARIES
ARE CHANGED
THE ARCHDIOCESE OF ST. LOUIS
AND THE DIOCESE OF ST.
JOSEPH AFFECTED.
Twelve Counties, Twenty Priests and
10000 Souls Added to the Juris-
diction Of Bishop Burke.

The Right Rev. MI. f. Burke, ID. d.,
Bishop of st. Joseph Mo-, has received
from the Sacred Congregation of the
Consistory in Rome a decree, dated
June Is, 1911, by which the territory
under his Jurisdiction has been en-
larged by the addition of twelve coun-
ties which have been cut off from the
Archdiocese of St Louis and added
to the Diocese of st. Joseph.
This addition gives the Diocese Of
st. Joseph the whole northern part of
the state, extending from the Mis-
souri, to the Mississippi rivers, and
bounded on the south by the counties
of Boone, Audrain and Pike. Bishop
Burke has also received letter from
the Apostolic Delegate at Washington,
D. G., dated July 80, by which this
decree OF the Sacred Congregation OF
the Consistory is put into effect.
BY this increase OF territory sixteen
parishes have been annexed, twenty
more priests have been affiliated; and
about $4,000 souls added to the Dio-
cese of st. Joseph.
The Decree further provided that
the clergy of those twelve counties
shall at once be under the jurisdiction
of the Bishop of st. Joseph, as their
Ordinary, without recourse or appeal.

BISHOP TR0BEC
DENIES RU M D R
NO TRUTH IN THE REPORT OF
HIS RESIGNATION.
He Enjoys Good Health and Is AS Ac-
tive and Energetic As Usual in
the Government of the Diocese
of st. Cloud.

Last week rumor was circulated
to the effect that the Right Reverend
James Trobec, D. D., Bishop of St.
Cloud, had resigned owing to ill-health
which prevented him from attending
to his episcopal duties.
The Catholic Bulletin is in a posi-
tion to state authoritatively that there
is not particle of truth in this rumor.
1t is devoid of any foundation in fact.
The Bishop himself knows nothing
about it. His health is excellent; in
fact, it has not been better for many
years. He performs all his episcopal
functions himself, and attends to his
correspondence without the aid of a
secretary.
His many friends throughout Min
nesota and the Northwest will be glad
to learn he is still actively engaged
in the management of the affairs Of
the Diocese Of st. Cloud, notwith-
standing the burden of his seventy.
three years, forty-six of which have
been spent in the priesthood and
fourteen in the episcopate.

shown that a large part of the syna-
gogue has been preserved All the
walls and columns are in ruins but
the ground plan of the building is
perfectly plain and has been found to
be similar to that of the synagogue Of
upper Galilee dating from the first
centuries of the Christian era, but
with the difference that it shows GER
tain architectonic details in the
classic style which would point to an
origin dating from the early days Of
the Empire.
The lower part of the west wall
and the four steps leading from the
east door to the principal entrance
are especially well preserved. These
four steps must often have been trod-
den by the feet of Our Lord. 1t is the
intention of the Franciscans to re-
build the synagogue in order to re-
produce as closely as possible one of
the most vivid memories of the life
of the Divine Founder of Christianity.

can and the Dominican orders. Of
late the Capuchins have decided to
follow the example of the Friars
Minor in founding an international
house of studies for their order.
Add to these the Catholic lay col
leges, viz, the Collegio Massimo, Naz-
zareno, Mai, Ghislieri, Pamphili, and
the College of ST. Joseph, directed by
the French Christian Brothers, and
one finds a pretty high total.
The latest addition to the number
is that of the Institute of the Irish
Christian Brothers, who came from
Dublin to combat the proselytizing
efforts of the Methodists, and through
whose hands six or seven hundred
boys and young men pass annually.

mated by Cit
izens.

Some months ago the Mother Pro
vincial Of the Sisters of Notre Dame,
Milwaukee, Wis, accompanied by
Mgr. P. M. Abbelen, visited Mankato
for the purpose of selecting site on
which would be erected the new
Motherhouse for the northern district
Of the Order. A tract of fourteen
acres on a high hill within the city
limits and overlooking the Mississippi
valley, was offered by Mr.. Dukes, and
the citizens of Mankato supplemented
the gift by donating an additional
1orty-four acres to make site large
enough for the proposed building
Plans were prepared and the work
of construction is progressing rapidly.
The structure when completed will
cost about 100000, and cover an area
80 by 220 feet. It will consist of an
administration building, a dormitory,
an academy, and a chapel. 1t is
probable that the institution will be
ready for occupancy in two years,
and then two hundred and fifty of the
eighteen hundred Sisters in the Mil
waukee Province, will be transferred
to the Motherhouse. 1t will be known
as the Academy of Our Lady of Good
Counsel.
The Sisters of Notre Dame are a
teaching order and in the new
academy special attention will be
given to the higher education of girls.
A day school will be conducted for
the benefit of the pupils who live in
Mankato and the surrounding country.
More than sixty young ladies from
Mankato have joined the Sisterhood.
This will be the fourth Province of
the Sisters of Notre Dame in this
country. They now number four
thousand members in Canada and the
United States.

WELCOMING HIM.
Tributes From His FeIiow-citizens,
Catholic and Non-cathoIic, From
the Knights of Columbus and
From the cIergy-The Bishop
Brings PapaI Blessing.

On August II the citizens of the
State of Montana united with the
Catholics of the Diocese of Helena in
welcoming Bishop Carroll on his re-
turn from a five months tour in
Europe and the Holy Land The re-
ception was held under the auspices
of the local council of the Knights of
Columbus, and was attended by priests
from all parts of the Diocese, and a
large number of the Catholic laity
and, the non-Catholic citizens of the
state. Governor Norris greeted
Bishop Carroll on behalf of his fellow
citizens without regard to race or re-
ligion and praised him for the good
work he has done for the material
and spiritual development of the
state. Major Martin Maginniss, on
behalf of the laity, gave expression
to the feeling of pleasure with
which they greeted Bishop Carroll
after his trip. J. A. Walsh for the
local Knights of Columbus joined in
the tribute paid to their spiritual
father. The priests of the Diocese
were represented by Rev. R. O'D.
Barry, pastor of the Church of the
Immaculate Conception, Butte, who
made an address replete with senti-
ments of flial devotion.
In response to these addresses the
Right Reverend Bishop, after express
ing his appreciation of their kindly
sentiments, pictured for his audience
some of the scenes which he had
witnessed, and the places he had
visited during his tour to Jerusalem
and Rome. He dwelt particularly on
his interview with the Holy Father
and the interest which Pope Plus
showed in what is being done for the
growth of the Church and the spread
of religion in Montana His Holiness
commissioned him to impart special
blessing to the laity of the Diocese
for their unselfish cooperation and
assistance in carrying on the works
which have been undertaken, and
especially to the individual parishion.

those works would not have been pos.

Diocese for the encouragement and
support which they had given to
these projects for the welfare of al
citizens.

SYNAGOGUE OF CAPHARNAUM
RECENT DISCOVERY OF ITS
RUINS BY THE FRANCIScANS
AT THE LAKE OF
GENEZARETH.

News of the most interesting dis
covery of Christian archaeology made
in recent years comes from the Lake
of Genezareth, where the remains have
at last been found of the synagogue
of Capharnaum or Kephar Nachum,
the town in which Our Lord taught,
wrought miracles, and SO often rested
In the house of Peter and Andrew.
The site of that synagogue, which
was probably erected for the Jews by
the Centurion of Kephar Nachum, has
frequently formed the object of the
study and researches of Christian
archaeologists; and the general con-
viction prevailed, that it was to be
found among the ruins known under
the name of Tell Hum.
The Franciscans purchased part of
these ruins some time ago and sur
rounded it with wall, but they were
not only prevented, under the old
Turkish regime, from making excava-
tions, but were actually obliged to
recover the foundations they had laid
bare before the prohibition was in
timated to them. But the little work
they did in the place was quite suf-
ficient to convince them, even ten
years ago, that under the masses OF
earth around them lay the remains of
the rich and beautiful synagogue men
toned I'm the gospels.
They have now resumed the excava-
tions and these have not only con-
firmed their belief but have actually
