done and what Is 1 likely to arouse a friendly spirit of emulation HISTORY OF CATHOLIC WORK In view of the Importance of the cornerstone exercises In local church history an epitomized review of the growth of the Catholic church In this city will be of Interest Its origin here was humble and unpretentious but destined to endure The records show that episcopal jurisdiction of tho Rocky mountain region In which Utah IB located was exercised by the Ordinary Or-dinary of St Louis and that as there are no ecclesiastical documents extant showing a transfer of Jurisdiction to Marysvlllc Cal In 1800 when Father Kelly of the latter diocese made his first visit to Utah It was under the jurisdiction of the St Louis province This was the first beginnings of the chinch In Utah Father Kelly visiting Salt Lako at the request of his bishop Right Rev Eugene OConncl of Marys vllle i When Father Kelly made his second trip to Salt Lake ho bought the lot on which the old church now stands on cond 13nst street for SICDO hut ho rill r not reside here r and In 1SCS Bishop Machboeuf of Denver assumed otllclal charge and appointed Father Foley pastor On tho occasion of one of his visits to this city the bishop was the guest of Judge Thomas Marshall and said mass In his house Father Foley I held service on Sundays In an old adobe house which has given way to I the present church His congregation was very small among them being Mrs Thomas Marhhall Mrs Goy Vaughn J J and T B OReilly Judge Barron I J L Burns C L Dahler Mrs Simp kins and family Father Foley continued con-tinued until 1870 when at the urgent request of its vicar apostolic Bishop Machboeuf tho Pope temporarily placed Utah under the Jurisdiction of San Francisco WHERE FIRST MASS WAS CELEBRATED CELE-BRATED Tho attitude of the Mormons was always al-ways friendly la lSiG Father Kelly I while here oh a vlelL was cordially received re-ceived by Bcigham I Young and presented = pre-sented thrL book containing Brig 1 hams autograph And later when a Onw was discovered In the title to the t church lot It was through President Youngs good offices that all counterclaims counter-claims were wiped out and a perfect title was secured Indeed Father Kelly Kel-ly I conducted his first services in the old Mormon assembly hall and when after attending the funeral of Dr Robinson Rob-inson he received a written notice to quit the city Brigham Young declared that his own people had never sent the message told him to remain and that he should be protected Father Kelly looked upon President Young as a sincere sin-cere friend In 1S71 Rev Father Walsh appointed by Archbishop Allomany of San Francisco Fran-cisco began his pastoral duties in which he was liberally assisted by all classes of people and so earnest was he In his work that he was able at an expense of 12000 to erect in the fall the present little church where St Marys people have worshiped for twentynine years It was dedicated to St Mary Magdalen November 2b 1S71 The first mission was held at the request re-quest of Father Walsh by Father Bou chard early In the following year and in 1873 FATHER SCANLANS ARRIVAL Father Walsh was recalled to San Francisco beloved by all Rev Father Lawrence Scanlan of Petaluma Cal was appointed his successor suc-cessor and reached gait Lako August 14 1S73 and since as pastor vicarfor elgn vicarapostollo and bishop he has faithfully and zealously ministered to the spiritual wants of tho people of Utah There was but one Catholic I church in the Territory then and that had a heavy debt and his charge embraced em-braced the largest In area of any pastor pas-tor In the United States The church debt of 6000 was wiped out in less than two years and In the meantime the ground on which St Marys academy now stands was secured in 1S7I through the generosity of Father Scanlans old Pioche parlshoners By September In 1S75 the academy had been erected through tho able assisting efforts of two sisters of the Holy Cross from Notre Dame and the ready response to the call for funds from the miners and other citizens of the Territory The necessity of a hospital then became be-came apparent for the miners and smelter hands and Father Scanlan backed by prominent mining men applied ap-plied to Indiana In October 1S75 for sisters to conduct a hospital Two sisters sis-ters began their hospital ministrations In a rented building on Fifth East street near First South The project did so well that In April 1881 the ten acre block on which the present fine hospital edifice stands was purchased at a cost of 6000 from Fciamorz Little and In the next year the new hospital building was ready for occupancy All Hallows college costing 30000 all told was the next valuable Institution Institu-tion to be started and completed by Father Scanlan APPOINTED BISHOP Shortly after its opening in September Septem-ber 1SSG he was to his own surprise appointed bishop The Tribune being tho first to break the welcomo news to him The news was confirmed presently present-ly by a letter from Archbishop Rlor dun announcing Father Scanlans appointment ap-pointment as vicarapostolic of Utah I and the Nevada counties of Eureka Lander Lincoln White Pine Nye and Elko an area of 155000 square miles Father Scanlan was widely congratulated congratu-lated and went to San Francisco where he was consecrated in St Marys cathedral June 29 197 The present Su Anns orphanage site on First South street was bought in 1SSS for 16000 being Intended for the future cathedral of the diocese but the lot was not deep enough and the present pres-ent cathedral site covering half of the block bounded by South Temple First B and C streets was bought In 1S90 for 50000 And It was on the east half of this plot hat tho present handsome episcopal residence was built In 1891 at a cost of 25000 Ground was broken on the corner for the new cathedral on July 4 1S90 The present orphanage was opened In October 1891 with three sisters In charge and so Well did tho institution take that it has had to bo enlarged twice and nearly 100 children have been accommodated there In June 1808 fifteen acres on Twelfth South and Fourth East streets were secured from Don Tufts for 5000 for a new orphanage and subsequently Mr and Mis Thomns Kearns donated 50000 for the proposed now building Tho cornerstone was laid August 27th and the building Is now nearly ready for occupancy BUILDING OF CATHEDRAL Thus encouraged Bishop Scanlan thought that life year would be opportune oppor-tune for the beginning a cathedral The old church had become far too mall and a larger and ll grander edi flee vas called for I The response to the bishops request for a contribution was princely Mrs I Mary Judgo readily subscribed 10000 In May 1S99 In June Mrs Alex H Tarbet subscribed 10000 and then O J Salisbury followed with 10000 and In July W S McCornlck subscribed 10000 and James Ivers also put his name down for 10000 Last June David Keith gave 10000 and Mrs Elizabeth M Daly 5000 Since then Father Kiely has succeeded In securing five names at 1000 each six names at 500 each three at 250 each and five at S100 each When
