ishop's authority, a wandering German-born priest. Although most Catholics viewed such internal strife with horror, similar happenings were not infrequent over the ensuing years as more immigrants flocked to our shores and population shifts occurred in great tides. But The Church Kept Building n the same year that British flames consumed our capital, 1814, three Sisters of Charity of Emmitsburg were engaged in the founding, in Philadelphia, of this country's first Catholic institution for homeless children, St. Joseph's Orphanage. And the first free school for Negroes in the South was begun in Georgetown by Father John McElroy, S.J. in 1818. Father McElroy later founded Boston College. Each Sunday afternoon Negro children would be tutored in reading, writing, arithmetic, and Christian doctrine. A number of previous attempts, in other times and places, had been foiled by ardent racists. However, historian Carter G. Woodson states in The Education Of The Negro Priorto 1861: 18 Most interest in the cause in Maryland was manifested near the cities of Georgetown and Baltimore. Long active in the cause of elevating the colored people, the influence of the revolutionary movement was hardly necessary to arouse the Catholics to discharge their duty of enlightening the blacks. Whenever they had the opportunity to give slaves religious instruction, they generally taught the unfortunates everything that would broaden their horizon and help them to understand life. The Abolitionists and Protestants were also in the f ield, but the work of the early Fathers in Georgetown made it, by the time of its incorporation into the District of Columbia, a center sending out teachers to carry on the instruction of Negroes. So liberal were the white people of this town that colored children were sent to school there with white boys and girls who raised no objection. Right into the early 1820's, Long lsland lacked a resident priest. Since only eight priests, under Bishop John Connolly, served the diocese-an area comprised of the entire state of New York plus part of New Jersey-it is understandable that the faithful of this out-mission seldom had a priestly visit and usually had to row across the river to attend Mass in the old St. Patrick's Cathedralon Mott Street or St. Peter's Church on Barclay Street. On New Year's Day of 1822, lhe Catholics of Brooklyn held their first meeting at the home of Peter Turner to plan a church and the initiation of a building fund. Much of the funding for the developing Church in <strong>America</strong> was to come from European missionary societies. The Ludwig Mission Society of Munich and the Leopoldine Foundation of Vienna provided for the German immigrant in particular. The Society for the Propagation of the Faith, then based in Lyons and Paris, took a more general interest but occasionally displayed partiality toward dioceses with larger French populations or with French bishops. lt is clear that the Church in <strong>America</strong> could never have come to prosperity without the critical aid of these mission-minded groups.
