May Breaks Ground
(Special to The Bulletin)
CHARLESTON, S. C.—Ground was
broken here February 2 for the New
St, Patrick’s School, which will be
completed for the opening of the
next school term in the fall, and
which will be one of the most modern
school buildings in this section. Very
Rev. James J. May, V. G., broke the
ground. Rev. Joseph L. O’Brien,
principal of Bishop England High
School and widely known as an edu
cational leader, is pastor of St. Pat
rick’s.
The building was designed by Rev.
Fr. Michael, O. S. B., of Belmont
Abbey, N. C., noted as a church and
school architect. It will be of brick,
concrete and steel construction, about
ninety by seventy feet, and will have
six class rooms on the first floor and
parish hall and gymnasium on the
second floor. It will be heated by
the gas-steam system, and is being
erected by the Southeastern Con
struction Company of Charlotte.
Father Michael incorporated in his
plans several original suggestions by
Father O’Brien.
The site for the new school is 78
by 150 feet adjacent to the present
school building, which will be occu
pied until the completion of the new
building and then demolished; the
newly acquired site plus the adjoin
ing site of the old building will give
the school ample grounds.
Father O’Brien,pastor of St. Pat
rick’s, is intensely interested in edu
cation, and his erection of St. Pat
rick's School is but a continuation of
his splendid work in that field best
exemplified by his great success as
principal of Bishop England High
School.

CHARLOTTE, N. C—The Sunday
afternoon sermons of Rev. Father
Charles, O. S. B., rector of Belmont
Abbey Cathedral, over Radio Station
WTB, are attracting wide attention
and bringing most favorable reac
tion. The broadcast covers the period
from 1:30 to 2 o’clock every Sunday
afternoon, and consists of a musical
program under the direction of Rev.
Francis Underwood, O. S. B., of Bel
mont Abbey, as well as Father
Charles’ sermon. Father Charles is
presenting Catholic belief through
sermons on the articles of the Apos
tles’ Creed, and doing it in a scholar
ly and eloquent manner. Young

MOBILE, Ala.—Rev. Edward T.
Cassidy, S. J., member of the faculty
board at Spring Hill College in this
city, took his final vows in the So
ciety of Jesus last Sunday morning
in the school chapel in the presence
of all the students to whose spiritual
and intellectual welfare he has de
voted his life.
It was somewhat of a coincidence
that Father Cassidy should take the
vows that closed the chapter of his
pledges of devotion to his God in the
very same chapel where he prayed
as a boy. Father Cassidy was a
Spring Hill student from 1910 to
1912, at which time he transferred to
Mount St. Joseph’s College at Balti
more. He remained there a year,
and thinking that life in the navy in
the service of his country was his
calling he took and passed the en
trance examinations to the United
States Naval Academy at Annapolis.
Hardly were these over than a feel
ing of indecision came over him as
to whether a call to the service of
his God was not beckoning him to
the religious life. He felt it was,
and entered the Jesuit novitiate at
Macon in '1913. In 1915 he took his
first vows.
Father Cassidy pursued classical
studies at Macon until 1917 when he
went to St. Michael’s in Spokane,
Wash, for philosophy training. He
was professor of physics at Loyola
University in New Orleans from 1928
to 1924. Later he studied theology
for three years in Falkenburg, Hol
land, and in 1927 was ordained to the
priesthood at Woodstock, Md. Father
Cassidy is student spiritual counsel
lor at Spring Hill, director of the
college sodalities and teaches several
subjects.
