from his mother who was woman
noted for her deeply maternal quali-i
ties, love of work, and deeply religious
spirit
When the subject of this sketch was
still a small child the family removed
TO America. Landing in New York
the Ireland family took up their resi-
dence there for a few months, when
John attended the schools of that city.
The family then moved successfully
to Boston, and then to Burlington,
VT, where the father built a small
log cabin for the family It was here
that the future great prelate may be
said to have first come into close con-
tact with the active life Of the Church
of which he was to be SO brilliant
q defender; for. IN this city he was
accustomed to serve Mass and to act
as altar boy in the various services
Of the Church.
Some time after this the father, un.

Arrival in St. Paul.

Early in the spring of 1858, the Ire.
lands landed at what is now Jackson
street. AS soon as the family was
settled in the little frontier town,
young John turned with instructive
longing towards the Church. For the
second time he became an altar boy
in the recently erected grey stone
building which then served as q ca
thedral, bishops house, and school:
The first Bishop Of St Paul was
the Right Reverend Joseph Cretin who
had been consecrated less than two
years before. He was man Of re-
nowneds virtue and recognized sane;
tity Possessing power OF discern.
ment not common, it was not long be-
fore Bishop Cretin noted with intense
satisfaction the studious disposition
and the religious spirit, as well as the
uncommon talents of the young boy
from Galena. The signs Of q brilliant
intellect began To disclose themselves
in this youth who ever showed keen
ness and cleverness in argument and
debate. 1t was one of his duties to
deliver milk to the Presbyterian min
lister, and his special delight was tc

settled and dissatisfied with present
surroundings, needed the yearning
which called him West. So for a
fourth time the family gathered to-
gether their worldly goods and started
on the long, difficult journey to far
away Chicago Remaining in this
small Western city for a few months,
they continued their journey to Ca
lena, I'll. In their various stopping
places John ever manifested an ar
dent longing for learning and educa-
tion AS soon as they arrived in a.
new domicile he took advantage of
the opportunity vi attending the local
schools. Thus, while in Chicago,
though but for brief time, he be-
came student at the then we'll
known seminary Of st. Mary's of the
Lake. Taking to his books again in
Galena, he was soon interrupted in.
his work by the decision Of his father
to come still farther north in search
of home that would prove congenial
in every way. The old Nominee, one
of the first passenger boats to travel
as far north as St. Paul, was then
running on the Mississippi. So Rich
ard Ireland, embafking his family on
this boat, started on the last lap of
the journey for me city which was
to be the great theater Of his sons
labors and triumphs.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1918-09-28

County Kilkenny, where l came from,
was the answer. Impressed by the
ingenious manner of the youth and
by his precise and exact knowledge
of the Christian doctrine, the Father
said to him: Would you not like to
be a priest?" Whatever may have
been the answer, the suggestion at all
events made an impression on the boy.
The thought of a sacred ministry
of a vocation for the priesthood
had never up to that moment entered
the boys head He went home and
told his father and mother what the
priest had said to him.
Shortly after the family moved to
ST. Paul. There the bishop Cretin
soon after came to know this boy, and
being similarly impressed by the char
acter and promise of the youth, gained
the consent Of his parents and sent
him to France to- pursue his studies
for the priesthood in an ecclesiastical
seminary That young Irish lad who
received the suggestion Of his vocation
in Old st. Mary's is now the great
and famous John Ireland Archbishop
of St PAUL
Do you not agree with me that this
interesting fact is something Chicago
and st. Mary's may well be proud Of

Towards the end of the year it was
thought advisable for the patient to

the South on April II, and returned to
st. Paul very little improved in health.
He failed to rally after his southern
trip, and on April % it was reported
that he was slowly sinking. From
