A banquet in the Rainbow room of the La Concha hotel is being sponsored by the Holy Name Society to conclude the celebration, and the parishioners of St. Mary’s have been cordially invited to attend. As there are only a limited number of tickets to be sold, parishioners were re- quested to purchase them this week from any member of the Holy Name Society. by Attending the banquet to honor the Fathers of the Society of Jesus will be his excellency, Thomas J. McDonough, auxiliary bishop of -St. Augustine; Rev. Father Harry L. Crane, procin- cial of the Society of Jesus for the Southern Province, and form- er pastors of the parish. The first entry that Father A.B. Friend, S. J... made in his new- ledger was that the Jesuits arrived to administer to the Catholics of Key West on Febru- ary 15, 1898, the day that the man-o-war “Maine” was blown up'm Havana Harbor. Very Reverend William Power and Father A. Friend reached Kty West where they met bishop Moore who then made the formal transfer of the parish to the Jesuit Society, Father Alexander B. Friend was named the first Key West was but a small vil- lage in 1820 and is supposed to first settled by Ba- Its population did not exeeed 5,000 up to 1870. The town was almost completely de- stroyed by fire in 1886. Such was the situation in Key West when Fathers Friend and Feget began their difficult and laborious appostleships. Shortly after their work was made hard- er and more perilous by virulent | outbreaks of yellow fever. Father Friend succumbed to the malady but promptly resumed service on recovery as did also his saintly assistant, Rev. Anthony Taillant, S. J., whose death soon after of | tuberculosis was hastened by the fever attack and his toils among the stricken. Good brother Caspar Heinrichs died of the disease ulso. Superior William Reagen, S. J., had the venerated bones of Father Taillant and Brother Cas- par transferred to the Jesuit provincial cemetery at Spring Hill College, Alabama. It was not long before the fathers encountered quite an un- expected disaster. On September haffilans. 20, 1901, the church on Duval street burned to the ground. Fire vecurred in broad daylight and at | noon. Every trace of arson was present as the very heart of the fire was in the center of the} organ. For some time thereafter, Mass was said in the Convent ussembly hall, one of the build- | ings put up by the U. S. govern. | ment for hospitalization during the Spanish-American War. Funds for a new and larger chureh (presently located on Di- vision street)’ were raised and ground was broken in 1904, The design and character of the con- struction was uniquely suited-to} local conditions, was the work of Father Friend who also financed expense of building The expert econ- Brother Otten, the con- the entire and furnishing labor of reduced ng builder, on the Newly-Formed Beta Sorority Holds Firs I their first meeting Church.

It is built of concrete made from the coral rock dug from the lot on which the chureh stands. Its interior is always remarkably comfortable. From December 6, 1906 to January 6, 1907, a mission was given by Rev. W. Power, Father Friend celebrated his Sacerdotal Silver Jubilee on Au- gust 15, 1907. Rev. Linus Schuler, S: J., was appointed the follow- ing September 6th to succeed Father Friend who was _trans- ferred to Miami. The term of Father Schuler ended on June 28, 1910 and Father Friend was reappointéd on July 27, 1910. The latter continued to take an active part in all parish work in spite of several severe attacks of sick- ness but was finally forced to re- tire in 1914. On March 7, 1912, Cardinal Farley of New York honored this island parish with a day’s visit. He was the guest of the sisters of the Holy Names. Rev. A. Pochi became superior in 1914 and on the advice of physicians was compelled to leava Rev. P. McDonnell suc- ceeded him in August 1915 and began to busy himself with the very needed plans fora _ resi- dence. Up to this time the old Cuban chapel erected on Duval street was later removed and placed on the present church grounds. This cuban chapel was the first official parish residence. The long nar- row building erected during the war on St. Joseph’s school grounds, was moved to the church property and later used as class- rooms, Work on the new residence was started in 1917 but due to the turmoil of the World War, build- ing of the rectory was abandon- ed and not completed until May of the next year. It is of the same material and construction as the church. During the war, Father Mc- Donnell served as chaplain to the Army and Navy forces es- tablished on the island.
