Mother Drexel's missions began with Negroes of the South and lndians of the Southwest, but soon became a proliferation of schools and convents scattered throughout the country. ln 1915 she opened Xavier University in New Orleans. lts rapid growth led to a beautiful campus dedicated by Dennis Cardinal Dougherty in 1932. Before her death at the age of ninety-six, she had seen her vast stores of money and love grow to forty-nine foundations in the Northeast, Middle West, and Deep South. ln 1893, an American community of the St. Joseph Society of the Sacred Heart (Josephite Fathers), also dedicated to work among the Negroes, was founded. The Paulists and Glenmarys, and the Missionary Trinitarians. were also home missionaries. And in 1908, Pope Pius X finally terminated the mission status of the American Church. Of NTar And Peace he American Church had already proved capable of caring for its own and then some. Generations of immigrants had been embraced by brothers in Christ, even when there was little to share. And newcomers continued to swell the ranks of our parishes. ln the first five years of the 20th Century, threeand-a-half million ltalians came to our shores. By 1930, one-fourth of our country's ltalian-American population lived in New York City, giving that city more ltalians than Rome. Polish immigrants came in only slightly fewer numbers, peaking just before World War l. Having suffered Russian-German repression for so many years, they formed closely knit groups to retainand enjoy-their own cultural and lingual heritage, often establishing national parishes. The Titanic disaster in 1912, the opening of the Panama Canal in 1914 with its subsequent boost to our productivity, the declaration of war in 1917, the all-out support at home of "our boys over there" and the spirit of brotherhood it kindled throughout the War To End AllWars--capped by the great joy of Armistice Day were turbulent and exciting years for our country. lmmigration legislation of the Twenties stemmed the flood that had always looked to the Church for aid. No longer would the care of immigrants be the Catholic Church's major concern in this country. 35
