taken from the foundation walls of
the old Catholic Cathedral, in Char?
leston, is of brown stone, and will
serve as a fitting memorial to Right
Rev. Bishop John England, who es?
tablished the Sumptervllle-Provi
dence Mission District, in 183?.
The Sumptervllle-Provldence, and
later the Sumter Mission has the dis?
tinction of having been cared for by
four illustrious bishops of Charles?
ton: Bishop John England, Right
Rev. Bishop Reynolds, Right Rev.
Bishop Patrick Lynch, and the pres?
ent Right Rev. Henry P. Northrop,
D. D. Sumter Catholic Mission also
has the unique distinction of having
been the birthplace of two priests
and two bishops, Right Rev. Patrick
Lynch having been born in Cheraw,
und Right Rev. Bishop John J. Mon?
aghan, of Wilmington, Delaware, be?
ing born and raised in Sumter, S. C.
The first church edifice of the Sump?
tervllle-Provldence Mission was lo?
cated at Providence, Sumter County
in 1837, and was administered to by
Rev. Father Edward Quigley under
appointment of Bishop John Eng?
land. This church existed until 1848
when Bishop Reynolds appointed the
Rev. Father Jeremiah J. O'Connell.
The Providence church was named
the Church of the Assumption of the
Blesed Virgin Mary.
Father O'Connell purchased a dls?
carded Methodist church in Sumter
and remodelled it. This church was
dedicated in the summer of 1849. It
was named the Church of Saint Law"
rence in honor of Rev. Father Law?
rence O'Connell, brother of Father
"Jerry" O'Connell.
In 1862 Bishop Reynolds appointed
Rev. Father Timothy J. Sullivan pas?
tor at Sumter. He remained in
charge until his death, August 6th,
1865. He was burled beneath the
church, and his body was but recent?
ly moved to the new Catholic ceme?
tery on Oakland Avenue.
In 1865 Bishop Patrick Lynch ap?
pointed Rev. Father Augustus J. Mc
Neal pastor to succeed Father Sulli?
van. Father McNeal built the third
church of the Mission, and the sec?
ond church of Sumter Parish which
was dedicated In 1876. Father Mc?
Neal, or "Father Mack" as he was
familiarly known to Sumter people,
of Sumter, remained in charge from
1865 to 1908, when he was retired with
great honors by Bishop Northrop, Pope
Pious the Tenth conferlng upon Fath
esr McNeal the special honorary de?
gree of Monseignor, a very high eccle?
siastical rank in the Catholic Church.
Father Charles Dubols Wood, the
present rector, succeeded Father Mc ?
Neal In 1908. His splendid work
here stands as a testimonial to his
ability. Ho has started the new $30,
000 church, built a new $5.000 par?
sonage, moved the bodies from the
old Catholic cemetery to the new
cemetery, and has been doing great
work In Florence also.

A Red Letter Day in the History of
The Catholic Church.
Sunday morning in the presence of
between four and five hundred citi?
zens of Sumter, representing every
religious faith, Rt. Rev. Henry P.
Northrop, bishop of Charleston, bless?
ed and laid the corner-stone of the
new Church of Saint Anne.
At 11 o'clock solemn high mass

Rt. Rev. H. P. Northrop, D. D.,
bishop of Charleston, and Rt. Rev.
John J. Monaghan, bishop of Wil?
mington, Del., were present In the
sanctuary. The Georgetown Catholic
choir sang the mass. The main altar
of St. Joseph's ohapel was beautifully
decorated and hundreds of tapering
wax candles shed a soft, mellow light
over the brilliant and costly robes of
the bishops and priests, and the altar
boys, making a grand and inspiring
scene.
The chapel was taxed to Its ut
most capacity, many having to re?
main standing, and dozens of chair?
were placed in the aisles.
After the celebration of the mass,
Father Wood, the resident rector, ex?
tended a cordial welcome to the two
bishops, saying that the presence of
two such dignitaries honored the
priesthood and the people of the ter?
ritory of the Sumter Catholic mission.
He spoke of the gratitude in his
heart towards the people of Sumter,
regardless of church affiliations, peo?
ple of every faith who had assembled
to help In the cornerstone laying ex?
ercises.
He then notified Bishop Northrop
that everything was in readiness for
the cornerstone exercises in compli?
ance with permission granted by the
bishop to erect a new church build?
ing- He referred to the kindness of
the Sisters of Mercy in permitting the
use of their chapel for so many years
and requested a continuation of the
privilege until the new church is fin?
ished. Ke invited Bishop Northrop
to dedicate the new church ten
months hence.
Bishop Northrop then advanced to
the main altar and welcomed the
large audience, the visiting priests
and Bishop Monaghan. Bishop Nor?
throp, like Father Wood, paid a beau?
tiful tribute to the memory of Miss
Alice W. Boole and Mrs. Ella Tuo
mt y the former who bequeathed
$10,000, and the latter who during
her life gave $5,000 towards the erec?
tion of the new church edillce.
He complimented Father Wood
and the Catholics of Sumter on the
acquisition of such a beautiful edifice
by such a small congregation and
particularly complimented Father
Wood for his work in Georgetown,
Florence and Sumter.
The procession was then formed,
led by a aozen little girls, attired in
white, and the cross bearers, altar
boys, priests, bishops, vestrymen, con?
tractor, choir and the congregation
following. Arriving at the building,
the ecclesiastics, followed by the ves?
trymen, Neill O'Oonnell. T. B. Jen?
kins, J. w. McKeiver, F. C. Manning,
Geo. F. Epperson, Walter A. Burke,
of New York city, and William H.
Boyle, mayor of Sumter, entered the
new half-completed building, which
was blessed by the bishop of Charles?
ton.
Then following the chanting of the
litanies, reading of prayers, testing
and blessing, and laying of the corn?
er-stone. The ceremony was very
impressive and interesting.
Father Wood had decorated the
front of the new church building
with flags of the United States the
Confederate States of America, South
Carolina, of the "Emeral Isle," the
flag of Saint Anthony's Guild with
two white palmetto trees one on each
side of the cross, showing a combin?
ation of church and State.
The Georgetown choir, which so
delighted the congregation with their
superior Instrumental and vocal ren?
dition of the beautiful high mass,
"Corana Eplscopo," was composed of
Miss Kate Morgan, Mrs. Vernon
Fields and Mrs. J. Lawler. This choir
also sang the pontificlal vespers In the
afternoon, which was celebrated by
Bishop Monaghan.

of the name, date and place of birth
of Mrs. Mary Anne Epperson, who
at 62 years of age, is the oldest living
member In years of membership In
the Catholic congregation of Sumter.

olic Church of this city for 60 and
one-half years.
Description of Church.
The new church edifice is strictly
Gothic in every particular of archi?
tectural- design, and construction.
Pure Gothic architecture, as is well
known, Is symbolical of something
in every feature. The outline plans
of the architeure contemplate that
the new building should represent a
Roman cross.
Entering the church from the
front through the main entrance, one
passes over seven stone steps, repre?
senting the seven gifts of the Holy
Ghost?wisdom, understanding, coun?
sel, knowledge, fortitude, piety and
the fear of the Lord. On each side
of the front of the building are two
Gothic towers of brick and gray
standstone, with wooden spires.
Over the large door facing the out?
side, and supported by stone columns,
one on each side of the main en?
trance, is a triple window represent?
ing the Holy Trinity.
There is also a depressed Gothic
arch over the main entrance upon
which rests the triple window design,
emblematical of the Trinity.
As one gets inside of the church,
upon the left Is the baptismal font
stand, reminding you of the first sac?
rament you receive upon entering the
church. On the right is the confes?
sional, another important place, re?
minding you of the seven sacraments
?baptism, confirmation, eucharist,
penance, extreme unction, holy or?
ders and matrimony.
In each transept gable end, on each
side of the Building are two with
windows, representing the great east
and the great west, the rising and
setting sun. Also emblematical of
death and resurrection.
The rear of the building on the in?
terior forming the sanctuary is semi
octagon in shape, representing in de?
sign the head of the cross. The tran?
septs on either side represent the two
arms of the cross, and the arms of
the Saviour, the front of the edifice
forming a design representing the
foot of the cross, the body of the
church representing the body of the
crucified God.
I There will be numbers of Gothic
arches supporting the roof, these
arches consisting of two main arches,
diagonally placed, coming down to
about six feet of the floor and with
beautiful ornamental cobbles at the
bases, and a number of small arches
reaching down between the main and
minor windows.
There are many other beautiful
Gothic symbols and designs In the
architectural design and construction
ot the interior embellishments. The
interior will he magnificent in its
smplictty and n-atncs-. The material
of the bulding is Augusta face brick
with grey sandstone trimming, with
Sumter Brick Works bri< k for inner
wall construction. Whin completed
the new church of St. Anne ^ ill be
<m<' .if the most substantial and pret?
tiest in South Carolina, and it is said
vs. iH be the only church edfice having
two r.othic towers on the front, gable
ends of the same height and Gothic
architectural design.
Father C. D. Wood is to be con?
