Week 4: St. Benedict's College

Once again I surveyed the Catholic Church Extension Society's letters of correspondence. In these files, I came across a folder dedicated to correspondence with St. Benedictine's College. St. Benedictine's College, now know as Benedictine College, was a Catholic College served to prepare students for a life in priesthood. Because of this, the Catholic Church Extension Society sponsored several various students who showed an interest in joining priesthood to attend the college each year. These documents reveal that the Extension Society was not only responsible for providing funding for the building of churches but also helped to fund education. These documents reveal the history of the society's transactions and provides insight into their purpose and goals.

Below are some examples of the files within the St. Benedict's College file:
