l"$t dear Parlshioners,

A Centennial Celebration is at one and the same tine---a nonume[tr 3 n€nlo!,1f, :

and a nil-estone.

It ls a monument bulIt out of love to a1I that has passed---the zea1, the

ganerosity, the falthfulness of Priests, Sisters, Brotlrers and Parlshioners of

years gone'by.

It is a storehouse of menorles for the older parishi.oners who for:n the llnk

between the recoll-ected cronnjng glories of the past and the effort of the present

to keep alive that gIory in a declining pad-sh.

It is a milestoner rnarklrrg the end of the past centurlr of achiEvenent, and

staking off the begl-rurlng of a ner century, Iooking rtth hope and confidence to

a continued success il enlarging Godrs Kingdon.

With pride we look back and count the pages of Baptisns, Absolutions, Holy

Cormunions, Conflrrnations, l'lariages, Anointings of the Slck. With pride too, ue .

count the 0rdlnations, tlie nurnbers of men and women who have gone forth frora this

hallowed Parish and dedicated themselves to the servj.oe of God in the rellgious liJe.

With pride' we the people of St. Bonifacet Parlsh point to those wonderfrrt

m€nr wonen and children who blazed the tral:| for us. ltrey have done a rnagnlfieent

job. It remaj-ns for us to carrqr on this noble tradition of se}f-sacrifice, of love,

of devotion to God and our Pari.sh.

We trust thls short history of our Parish n'lIL encourage the new generation

of today. we know that those who went before us did their best. M4y God give us

and those who rilJ- follow the courage to do likerdse. Wlth such zea1, flooding the

hearts of :'lI, St. BoniJace Parish wi-L]- contllue, as it aleays has been, a source

HIGH LIGHTS and SIDE LIGHTSThis is a long story - a story that spans one hundred years.

The whole picture, as it were, is hidden behind the Curtain of Time.On this grand occasion, however, we must be content to steal justa hurried look at some of the High Lights and Side Lights of thatglorious scene. What a marvelous tribute to-your heroic ancestorswhose faith gave birth to this Parish - to you, the Parishionerswhose faith is being nurtured hsrs - and to all the F athers,Brothers and Sisters who made St. Boniface a joy to the Lord.

Before we start the history of St. Boniface in the year 1866 itwould be well to go back some years prior to this date to discoverthe reason that brought this new Parish into existence.

In the year 1843 a Church was established at 5th St. andGirard Ave. for German-speaking Catholics. It was called St.Peter's and was in the care of the Redemptorist Order. Within adecade of its founding, St. Peter's Parish had grown so fast andthe number of its members so numerous, that it was deemed wiseto establish a new parish in the north-eastern section of the cityfor the benefit of German-speaking Catholics in that area.

With this purpose in view, property was purchased on thesouth side of Diamond St. from Hancock to Mascher St. in theyear 1866. F or a start it was considered practical and wise to erecta temporary combination Church and School. Accordingly, planswere drawn for a three-story brick building on the south-westcorner of Mascher and Diamond Sts" - 40 by 80 feet.

The first floor was to serve as a Chapel - the second floor asa School and the third floor as a residence for the teaching Sisters.Although the eorner-stone was laid December 9th, 1866 by the Rt.Rev. James F . Wood, Bishop of Philadelphia, the construction ofthe building was not begun until April 1867 and it was dedicatedsolemnly on July 14th, 1867 by the Very Rev. William O'Hara,D. D., Vicar of the Diocese.

The Sisters of the Third Order of St. F rancis were given chargeof the School. Before continuing, let us pause to way a word ortwo about these good Sisters. On April gth, 1855 the Community ofthe Sisters of the Third Order of St. F rancis of Assisi was formedin the city and diocese of Philadelphia.

The Rt. Rev. John N. Neumann D. D., C.SS.R., Bishop ofPhiladelphia was instrumental in bringing this about. The Bishopwas desirous of introducing the Sisters of St. Dominic into theDiocese and he wrote to the Holy tr'ather Pius IX for the F acultiesrequired for this purpose. The Pope, however, advised the Bishopto estabfish a community of Sisters of the Third Order of St.F'rancis'of Assisi. The Bishop complied with the wish of His HoIi-ness and in spite of obstacles finally succeeded in establishing thefirst community of Sisters of the Third Order of St. F rancis ofAssisi in America. This community lived here in Philadelphia in abuilding near the corner of 4th St. and Girard Ave. not far from theRedemptorist'Church of St. Peters. Mother Mary Frances Bach-mann was appointed by the Bishop as Fou.ndress and firstSuperioress of the newly established community, and it was from

At the very beginning of this year (19?6), in the month of{angpry, F"ranciscan F'athlrs from "cleveiana,'

-Nicholas

Mauron, C.SS.R. wrote to the Archbishop stating his consent to_g_ragt the request of the Archbishop. At the same time, the RectorMajor_wrote to the Provincial ordering him to make ready to takeover the care of St. Boniface Parish.

Another digression if we may - the letter which His Grace,th-" Al.hbishgn sent to Rome to- the Rector Major had quite anadventure. The vessel on which the mail was cairied, caulght fireat sea and was wrecked, but some bags of mail were washeilashoreon the coast of Q_p_ain, o_ne of which contained the Archbishop'scommunication. when flnally delivered to F'ather Mauron thelett'er was badly charred, but he was able to make out its contents.seerng in this circumstance the F inger of God, he yielded to thePrelate's entreaties.

As we were E?ying, St. Boniface was ready to start a NewEra, bg! before all else it is only fair and profer to give a justre_cog:riti_9n_to the wonderful work of the Secular Clergy-who labor-ed so weII during those first Ten Years of St. Boniface parish. Allbeginnings arg hard and we know that these early Pioneers had tof3-ce 1n?ny and at !iq9, almost impossible d.ifficulties. But d.espiteall obstacles they built two Churches - the old. and the New -started a School and labored. most faithfully in the performaRceqf th_eir priestly _wgrk. _During those ten years they had lgg3Baptisms and 315 Weddings. They deserve our sincere thanksapg-prayers. S+v- they enjoy the peace and happiness they sor i c h l y d e s e r v e ! ! !

The Red.emptgriqts came to St. Boniface at the request of theArchbishop of Philadelphia, the Rt. Rev. James F. woo-d D. D. andwith the approval of the Most Rev. Nicholas Mauron, the head ofthe Redemptorists in Rome; they took over the care of St. BonifaceParish on July 2,7876. Reverend George Sniet, who had been theRector of St. Peter's Church was appointed as the first Superior ofSt. Boniface. As there was no residence for the Fatheis at St.Boniface at the time, F ather Sniet and his assistants, F ather Sheer,Nicholas Klug and Edward weigel had to commute between St.Peter's and St. Boniface. fn the meantime, the Sisters, who hadbeen living on the third floor of the School, moved to a house at 116Diamond Street. After the Sisters had vacated the third" floor, theRedemptorists moved in for the time being. Living conditions werenot very comfortable. There were not enought robms, so that oneof the rooms served as Chapel, _Dining Room, and CommunityRoom. what about a kitchen? There was none. The Sisters pre-pared the meals for the F athers in their convent at 116 DiambndSt. aqd brought them over to the Redemptorists in large metalcontainers. F or this service including the food, the Redemptoristsp_ald the Nuns $6.0Q a week per capita. Dear Housewives,-do youthink you could feed a healthy, husky man on 96.00 a week tliesedays?_ rt was the end of July 1876 before the Redemptorists weresettled in their new quarters.

In the following month, August 2, by order of the Archbishop,a collection was taken up in all the parishes of the city for thebenefit of St. Boniface Parish whose financial condition was verypoor. The collection amounted to $30,000 to which the Archbishopadded a personal donation.

September 16th 1876, Saturday evening devotions were intro-duced at St. Boniface. This devotion was a custom in all Redemp-torist parishes

When the Redemptorists came to St. Boniface in July, theRev. Father Sniet was appointed Rector and he had Fathers Scheer,KIug and Weigel as assistants. They were just temporary helpers.After the F athers were installed in the old School a permanentCommunity was appointed by the Provincial as follows: F atherGeorge Sniet as Rector, F'athers F. X. Schnuettgen, George Hoffmanand Sebastian Breihof as assistants, and Brothers Calixtus(Krogmann) and Melchior (Van de Minde).

NEW MAIN ALTAR,When the new Church had been comnleted" the Altar that had

been in use in the old Church was transferred. to the new Church.However, it seemed out of place, because it was rather small andnot suited to the architecture of the new Church.

It so happened that an altar was on displav at the CentennialExposition here in Philadelphia at the time (1876). This altar ofwood was constructed by Pustet Bros. in Munich for the expresspurpose of exhibiting it at the Exposition. It was purchased for$4,000 and duly erected in St. Boniface as the Main Altar. A fewdays laten, December 24th,1876 Mass was offered at the new altarfor the first time. Many years later it was replaced by the majesticmarble altar now in the Chunch.

The following year, March 25th, 1877 New Stations weresolemnly blessed. by Very. Rev. George Sniet, C.SS.R", the Rectorof St. Boniface.

NEW RE|CTOR,Y FOR, TIIE REDEMPTOR,ISTSSince July 1876 the Redemptorist Community had been living

on the third floor of the old School Building after the Sisters hadvacated it. But these quarters were very unsatisfactory for variousreasons. So it was decided to build a ternporary convent and rec-tory between the old building and the new Church using the wallof the Church and the wall of the old building as the side-walls ofthe new Convent. Hence, only a front and a reay wall had to beerected. A rather economical idea, but it served its purpose. Truethe Convent was rather narrow but after all it was only a temporaryarrangement. However, though the building was small it had itsadvantages, because now the school and the convent and the Churchwere all connected. Brother Augustine (Scheidler) C.SS.R. servedas architect of the building.

On Sunday May 28th, 1877 the corner-stone was laid by VeryRev. George Sniet, C.SS.R. the Pastor and Rector.

August 72th, 1877 was "Open House" at the new Convent forall who wished to inspect it. There is one thing we must not over-look. There were receptacles at the door of the convent into which

and hoped. that the cordial and brotherly spirit shown on thisoccasion would continue down through the years in the Archdiocese.

On May Tt}l., 1885, the Most Rev. William Gross, C.SS.R.,Archbishop of Oregon, blessed five altars in the Church and one tnthe house-chapel in the Priest-house. Archbishop Gross C.SS.R.had previously been Bishop of Savannah, Georgia.

ST. BONIFACE' CHUR,CH ENII\B,GEI)On F ebruay;r,2Qth, 1887 work was begun to enlarge the Church

and Sacristy. While this work was in progess Masses and otherservices were held in the old School-hall. In order that all thefaithful might be able to hear Mass on Sundays, six Masses werescheduled.

The Church was lengthened thirty feet, remodeled" and reno-vated. by the Rev. Ferdinan d Litz. The structure had never beenwell proportioned, being a great deal too short for its helght andwidth; moreover, the front had never been finished. As soon asFather Litz could secure aditional property at the southern end ofthe church, he began the work of extension, which increased theextreme length of the edifice to one hundred and seventy-two feet.Thus a larger sanctuary was provided and greater seating capacityobtained.

When the work had been completed the Church was rededicatedby the Archbishop of Philade1phia, the Rt. Rev ArchbishopPatrick J. Ryan, D.D. on Sunday, September 16th, 1888. At 10A.M. that d"y, members of the different societies and a large num-ber of clergy conducted the Archbishop in solemn procession fromthe rectory to the Church which was crowded to capacity by mem-bers o'f the Parish. The sermon was preached by the former Rector,the Rev. F. X. Schuettgen, C.SS.R. - the present Rector beingthe Rev. tr'erdinand,Litz, C.SS.R.

After the service the Archbishop gave an add"ress in whichhe congratulated" the parish and wished them joy and satisfactionbecause after many hardships and trials they now possessed sucha beautiful Church. The service was concluded. with Solemn Bene-diction and the singing of the TE DEUM.

NEW MARBLE SIDE-ALTAR,SOn Sunday, June 2, 1889 four new marbtre sid.e-altars were

consecrated by the Rt. Rev. Archbishop William Gross, D.D.,C.SS.R., of Portland, Oregon, assisted, by the Rev. Ferdinand Litz,Rector and F'athers Dressmann, Kautz and Frederick, all Re-demptorists.

The ceremonies which began at 10 A.M. lasted until 1.15 P.M.after which the Rev. Michael Mueller, C.SS.R. offered a low Masson the newly consecrated altar of Our Lady. The four altars werein honor of Our Lady - St. Joseph - Sacred Heart and Our Ladyof Perpetual Help.

NEW OB,GANOn the 18th of November, 1894 the new organ was played for

the first time at a grand concert. All who heard it were highlypleased, and the comments in the papers were extremely grati-fying. The J. B. Didinger Co. were the builders. F or the benefit ofmusicians and music-lovers we list the contents of the organ.

They are: the Great Organ with 732 pipes.the Swell Organ with 549 pipes.the Choir Or,gan with 488 pipes.the Pedal Organ with 90 pipes.

The total number of pipes -in

the organ 1,859. Besides thereare Six Couplers and Tremolo and Eight Combinations.

Even though you may know little or nothing about the con-struction of the organ, we are sure you will admit that it can givqforth beautiful and entrancing sounds - music that delights andthrills you and we trust, inspires you with good and holy sentiments.

SEB,MON IN ENGLISHAlthough their parents were German most of the children

and the young men and women by their association with English-speaking Companions gradually forgot what German they knewand conversed almost entirely in English.

As a result they had difficulty in understanding a Germansermon or instruction, and some of the young men and women usedthat as an excuse to stay away from Mass on Sundays. What's theuse, they would say, of going to Mass if you don't understand whatthe Priest is talking about?

In order to correct this condition and safeguard the faith ofthese young people, permission was asked and granted to have atleast one sermon on Sundays in English. Accordingly, on Sun{ay,Septemb er 2, 1894 for the first time instruction was given in- Eng-Iish at the 9 o'clock Mass. which Mass was henceforth to be re-served for children and suih adults as did not understand German.Owing to this change, the High Mass was postponed from 10 to10:30 A. M.

AUXILIAR,Y BISHOP FOB, PIIILAI}EI,PHIAOn F ebruary 24th,1897 the Rev. Edmund Prendergast, Rector

of St. Malachy's-was consecrated Bishop by the Most Rev. PatrickJ. Ryan, D. D:, Archbishop of Philad.elphia. Tlre qewly consecrptedBishop was to serve as Auxiliary to the Archbishop. /

NAW CONVENT FOR, THE STSTER,S

when the sisters of st. F rancis came to st Boniface, July 18GT,they took up residence on the third floor of the combination Churehand School building on the South-west Corner of Diamond andMascher Sts. They lived there until August 1875, when they werelgglace_d by the sisters of christian Charity. A year latei, Julyx876, these Sisters had to vacate their quarters on the third floorto make room for the Redemptorists who had come to take chargeof St. Boniface Parish. The Sisters took up temporary residenceat 116 w. Diamond. st. until December 3rd. 7877 when thev movedinto their new Convent on the east side of Mascher St. juit southof Diamond St. The Sisters of Christian Charity d.welt here untiXAugust 1888 when they were replaced by the

-sehool Sisters of

Notre Dame, who lived here until 1920 when it was decided. tobuild a new convent on the south-west corner of Diamond andMascher Sts. adjacent to the Church.

Before anv buildine could be dorBefore anyBefore any building could be done, the site where the conventwas to stand must be cleared off hy razing the three story brickstory brickbuilding which had served as School and Hatl. This work wasstarted on March 29th, 1920. The first concrete for the founda-tion of the new Convent was poured on June L7th. on the Sundayfollowing, June 20th, envelopes were d.istributed. at all the Masse-sfor an extraordinary collection for the Convent to be taken up onthe following Sunday, June 27th. All those who aontributed- onedollar or more would have their names placed in the corner-stoneof the new Convent. The collection amounted to $2,000^

That same duy, Sunday June 27th at 4.P. M. the corner-stonewas blessed and laid by the Rector, the Rev. F ather Joseph R.Wissel, C:SSR. Before this took place there was a parade aioundt_h9 ngighboring streets by the men of the parish led by the Phila-d.elphia Police Band of 25 pieces. In the meantime, some of thewomen of the parish went about in the crowd. with baskets gather-ing uq donations. They collected about $300. The eeremony carneto a close with Solemn Benediction in Church. St. BonifaCe CIubmembers played host to the Police Band, and to other polieernenwho had been detailed to keep order.

On Sunday, September 19th, 7920, a Drive was started to raisefunds for the New Convent. Pledge cards were distributed" to loefilled out and handed in on the following Sunday.

December 27th, L920 the Sisters began the operation of movingtheir belongings into the new Convent. In fact, they had movedsuch things as were not immediately needed some time before.Hence, they were able to finish the moving operation in two days,and on December 29th, they handed over the keys of the OldConvent to the Hospital.

fnspection of the new Convent for patrons and membersof the Parish was held on January 23rd, L92L from 3 to 5 P. M.

CREDITS and DEBITSF irst and foremost to Father John E. F'eldmann,

C.SS.R. the patriarch of our Parish. Without his years ofU.SS.ti. the patrrarch or our .Hansh. wrtnout nls years orpains-taking research amid the dusty annals of St. Boniface'this digest would be impossible. All thanhs and congratula-tions to F ather John !

the project with their Patrons and Boosters.To all who by their ADS shouldered the brunt of its final )execution. bDebits: Those who seem or feel to be forgotten - re-

member, this is only a digest or resume of the events of onehundred years. The thousands who took part in this pageantmust be Content for now to remain anonymous. To sing theirpraises would only detract from that glorious revelation onJudgement Day when their deeds will be made known not onlyto a few here at St. Boniface but to the whole Court of Heaven.

Thanks to all ! ! And to AII - a sincere God Bless You ! !
