Field Mass At Old
Bohemia

The annual Field Mass at Old
Bohemia at IL a. m. near WarW1ck,
en- Sunday, June IL, should be OF
general interest to all Americans In
view of the fact that Charles Carfol
of Carrollton, one of the s1gners OF
the Declaration Of Independence for
Maryland, and John Carroll, the hrst
Bishop of America, received their
education there in the Jesuit school
which was the genesis of the present
Georgetown University.
St. Francis Xavier's Church, bet
ter known as "Old Bohemia, was
founded in 1904 by the Jesuit Faith
ers under Father Thomas Mansell
and is the oldest Catholic church on
the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
The ancient chapel which is still
well preserved, stands upon a sloplng
piece of ground and is approached
by a wide walk edged with lockwood
On the right is the graveyard where
lies the remains of those, who gen
erations ago, sat within the walls OF
the church and heard the perennial
words of the holy mass as they came
from the lips of some holy father.
On the edge of the little cemetery,
two bushes of lockwood, grown to
the height of five or six feet and sur
rounded by an iron rail, mark the
graves of some of the early fathers,
who died amongst the focks they
were tending. Such will be the pic
ture and the thought to greet the
friends of Old Bohemia as they
gather far and wide to celebrate the
234th anniversary of its foundation
by a field mass at IL a. m. on the
second Sunday in June.
