pg 234       archbishop of St. Louis when no one else would buy; the affairs of 
             New Orleans; the foundation of the house of New York; the distress 
             of Sainte Croix; the sending of a dozen Sisters to the United 
             States; the foundation of three Brothers' schools, at Toledo, 
             Louisville, and Mishawaka, and three Sisters' schools, at Lowell, 
             Laporte, and Michigan City; the dismissal of two Brothers and one 
             novice priest, which, although diminishing the number, was really 
             a gain by the peace and regularity that prevailed after their 
             departure; two large brick churches begun at St. John's and at 
             Lowell:  her are facts each of which would require a chapter 
             itself, but which it is enough to sum up her in a few lines in 
             order to show that this year has placed the Institution on a 
             footing almost entirely new, and to make it now appear in a form 
             which it had never before had.
